Tomahawk is a free, open-source cross-platform music player for Windows, Mac OS and Linux. An Android client is currently in beta.[1] It focuses on the conglomeration of the user's music library across local and network collections as well as streaming services.

About

Tomahawk has a familiar iTunes-like interface. The left column offers access to playlists, search history, favorite tracks, charts, and other categories.[2]

Features

Tomahawk allows to install plug-ins for several different music services.[3][4] These include:

Toma.hk and Hatchet

In 2013 Tomahawk launched HTML App Toma.hk. It lets users enter artist and song names, then Toma.hk spits out embeddable HTML code that can be inserted onto blogs and websites, allowing direct links to playable tracks online.[5][6]

In March 2014, Tomahawk launched its cross-platform sync and social platform called "Hatchet" in beta.[7] Though still under heavy development, the service will allow users to see what other users are listening to and share playlists through the Tomahawk application. It also provides users playlist and "loved" track sync across multiple devices.
