BeatBoss

BeatBoss

BeatBoss is a high performance cross platform music player client designed for audiophiles. Built with Flutter, it delivers a native, responsive experience on both Windows and Android.

[!NOTE] Note: BeatBoss supports EclipseMusic addons too, or any addon based player that uses the standard manifest format like stremio. Do check out EclipseMusic, it is frequently updated, addons are cross compatible, the dev is talented guy @doctor98whoo and he has inspired me to keep working on the things I love to do.
