Open Source CoffeeScript Sound/Audio Software for Linux

CloudTunes is a web application that turns cloud and online sources into an iTunes-like music experience you can access in the browser. It focuses on pulling tracks from services such as YouTube or storage backends and organizing them into searchable libraries and playlists. The interface is built to feel familiar to desktop music players, with queue management, dynamic search, and metadata views that make large collections manageable. Because playback runs in the browser, you can use it from any machine without installing a native client, and the server component coordinates indexing and streaming. Multiuser support and shareable playlists make it useful for small groups who want a central, always-available jukebox. The project showcases how open web technologies can be combined to provide a smooth, portable music app that users can self-host and customize.

MuPlayer is Baidu’s browser audio engine supporting HTML5 Audio and Flash. Created for Baidu Music, it ensures broad compatibility (IE6+, Chrome, Firefox, Safari) and multi-platform web apps. Designed for plugin-based codecs and flexible deployment, it powered Baidu’s streaming before being deprecated, now replaced by tools like SoundManager2 and Howler.js.
