WaveFlow QuickPlay

WaveFlow QuickPlay 1.0.0

The first release of the small player that sits next to WaveFlow: double-click a track, hear it now, with the desktop app's own decoders in a window the size of a notification.

What it does

  • Plays every format WaveFlow plays: MP3, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, Vorbis, Opus, AAC, ALAC, DSF and DFF, through the same codec registry, resampler and lock-free ring as the desktop engine.
  • Opens in a quarter of a second, audio engine created on the first play, one 31 MB executable.
  • Two sizes: a compact bar with clock, title, format, spectrum, seek and transport, or the cover above it, freely resizable.
  • A playlist window docked to the player: it follows it, minimizes and restores with it, and shares its taskbar entry.
  • Synced lyrics from a .lrc next to the file, the current line in place of the title; long lines scroll.
  • One instance per user: launching another file hands it to the open player, --enqueue appends.
  • File-manager integration: Play with WaveFlow QuickPlay and Add to WaveFlow QuickPlay playlist in the Explorer context menu and an "Open with" entry, installed for the current user; a desktop entry with the audio MIME types on Linux.
  • Eight languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean. The system language is used by default; the gear in the title bar opens a settings page to pick another, with the about block (version, licence, repository) under it. The Explorer entries follow the chosen language.

Deliberately not in scope: EQ, crossfade, gapless, ReplayGain, device selection and exclusive output. Those live in WaveFlow Desktop.

Install

  • Windows: download waveflow-quickplay_1.0.0_x64-setup.exe. It installs for the current user without administrator rights and registers the context-menu entries; uninstalling removes them.
  • Linux: the .deb for Debian and Ubuntu, the .rpm for Fedora, RHEL and openSUSE, or the .AppImage for any distribution (make it executable and run it). All three carry the desktop entry, so QuickPlay appears in "Open with" for audio files.
  • macOS: no bundle or installer for this release. The player was checked from a locally built binary on macOS 26 (Apple silicon): playback, the docked playlist, minimize and restore from the Dock, the single instance. Build it with cargo build --release (needs Xcode's command line tools and cmake).

SHA-256 checksums are in SHA256SUMS-windows.txt and SHA256SUMS-linux.txt.

Note

The Windows installer is signed with WaveFlow's self-signed certificate, so Windows may still show a SmartScreen warning on first launch.

Known limitations

  • On Wayland the playlist window opens where the compositor places it and does not follow the player; the protocol does not let an application position its windows.
  • The output device is the system default, opened in shared mode.
