Yammi Features

The following list gives you an idea of Yammi's features:

• fast and easy fuzzy search (search 5.000 songs in less than a second for a misspelled song)
• support for id3, ogg and flac tag reading and writing (including id3v2) via taglib
• organize songs into playlists/categories
• automatic folder structure (by artist/album/genre/year/history)
• easy navigation between folders
• automatic statistic keeping (when/how many times was a song played?)
• powerful consistency checks to keep your song database consistent
• organize names and location of song files by enforcing a configurable directory/filename pattern (eg. /music/{artist}/{album}/{trackNr} {artist}-{title}.{suffix})
• jukebox functionality to load song files on demand from CDs/DVDs
• easily burn a selection of songs to audio or data CD/DVD (using K3b)
• assistance for backing up your song collection to multiple CDs/DVDs
• prelisten to songs on headphone to DJ your own party (needs a second sound device)
• invoke other programs such as cdlabelgen or your own shell scripts to generate CD labels, transfer files to your IPod or execute other commands using the information from Yammi's song database

Yammi at parties

Yammi does an excellent job at a party, pulling double-duty as the DJ and main attraction for any other geeks in the room. Using crossfading between tracks (eg. with the XMMS crossfading plugin) and a second sound card to prelisten to songs, the DJ job never has been easier, even suited for people with little computer experience.
