Guayadeque was a free and open-source audio player with database written in C++ using the WxWidgets toolkit. It uses GStreamer to manage the audio and SQLite for the music metadata database.[3] A Qt rewrite of the program was planned in 2019, but it did not end up happening. On September 29, 2023, it was announced on the Guayadeque forums that development had ceased.[4]
As of 10/30/2024, it could still be built and installed on modern Ubuntu by first building and installing wxWidgets-3.0.5.
Guayadeque features a simple and customizable user interface with a large amount of fine-tuning options,[5] while being lightweight on system resources.[6] It supports a wide variety of audio formats including OGG, FLAC, MP3, WAV, and it also has support for ALSA. The program supports for last.fm, automatic cover art and lyric fetching, a smart playlist feature, VU meters, and the ability to label tracks and edit track tags using MusicBrainz.[7] It also features a system tray icon allowing which allowed control of the program.
