Kiwi

Of the music, for the music.

The obligatory screenshot. Mmm.

Kiwi. The other white meat.

Kiwi is a music player. Its interface was heavily influenced by iTunes, as you may notice from the screenshot.

System Requirements

The slowest machine the developers own is a K6-2/400 with 64MB of RAM. We don't have anything slower for testing, or any unusual hardware. All you 486 users, Mac users, etc. -- let us know how well it runs!

  • Operating System: tested on Linux and FreeBSD; should work on any system capable of using kdelibs and aRts.
  • Processor: tested on a K6-2/400. May work on slower machines. Should work fine on non-Intel architectures (PowerPC, Alpha, etc.) but this has not been verified.
  • Memory: runs well in 64M. Should work with less.
  • Disk Space: 1MB for binaries. Approx. 7MB for a full compile environment.
  • Libraries: Requires Qt 3, aRts, and kdelibs and kdemultimedia from the KDE project.

Kiwi is a labor of love. The sources are licensed under a mix of the BSD and GPL licenses, with the complete package under the GPL due to the viral nature of the GPL. Most code has been written by Cliff L. Biffle and Chris Lee, with initial contributions from Shamyl Zakariya.
