Bragi

Bragi (/ˈbrɑːɡi/; Old Norse: [ˈbrɑɣe]) is the skaldic god of poetry in Norse mythology.

Bragi is my attempt at creating my ideal music player. I'm creating it for myself, but if you like it, then that's great!

Bragi consists of three parts:

1. the sound player
2. the UI
3. the audio visualization engine (can be disabled completetly in the future)

I want to be able to use Bragi while programming, playing games, and casting it to a big screen to get pretty colors synced with the music.
