Soube Description
Soube is a basic, modern-looking and novice-accessible piece of software that makes it possible for you to listen to your favorite tunes without being subjected to distractions often associated with full-featured audio or multimedia players.
Before anything else, you should know that, since it is an Electron-based utility, Soube can be deployed on all major operating systems out there namely Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Quick installation procedure and stylish, although non-configurable, user interface
Subsequent to a quick installation process that does not require any user intervention, the application greets you with its straightforward user-interface. Even though it’s not striking to look at, we must admit that the interface is very responsive, with smooth and stylish effects for various functions. This is a very good example of how a properly optimized Electron app should feel like.
To start using Soube, you are first required to load the music. Head over to the Configuration section by clicking the sprocket shaped button from the upper-right side of the main window.
Modern music player that packs a minimal set of features
Select the music folder from its destination, and once you close the Configuration window, all the tunes should be present in the app’s playlist, within the main window. Please note that Soube automatically detects new songs within the Home folder and automatically adds them to the playlist. Play any song, and you are bound to discover that despite its simplicity, Soube features support for system native notifications.
As you may have already discovered, Soube is not exactly a benchmark regarding features. Nevertheless, you will have to do with a typical set of features. You can choose between two languages, namely English and Spanish, shuffle content, quickly search for tunes and even adjust the balance between frequency components with the help of a run-of-the-mill equalizer that packs only three presets (Rock, Electro, and Acoustic).
Lightweight, smooth-running, novice-accessible and stylish
Last but not least, we should mention the app’s useful shortcuts. As expected, CTRL+F enables the search function, CTRL+Up allows you to play or pause the song, CTRL+Down allows you to enable or disable the Shuffle function while toggling between songs is possible with the CTRL+Left or CTRL+Rigth combinations.
Having said that, if you are looking for a uber-simplistic music player that both looks good and runs smooth, and that can be run on all the key OSes out there, then Soube is definitely worthy of your attention.
