Yammi ("Yet Another Music Manager I...") is a digital music collection (eg. mp3, ogg, flac, wav files) manager targeted at large song collections (eg. a few thousand songs) with an intuitive but powerful user interface. It allows you to efficiently organize your music collection (edit tags, rename or move files, ...) and features intuitive and fast access to songs for playing, categorizing or editing them. For playing songs Yammi currently supports four media player backends, namely XMMS (X MultiMedia System), Noatun, an internal arts player and an (experimental) gstreamer backend.
