Description:
 prokyon3 is a multithreaded music manager and tag

written in C++ using the Qt3 widget set and the
MySQL database. prokyon3 can access MP3, Ogg and
FLAC files on harddisk, CDROM or network. Files
can be played using XMMS (default) or other
players. The file view is customizable and
favorite artists are supported. prokyon3 also
offers an editor for ID3 and Ogg tags and has been
designed to support tagging for large quantities
of files.
