Clementine is a free and open-source audio player. It is a port of Amarok 1.4 to the Qt 4 framework and the GStreamer multimedia framework. It is available for Unix-like, Windows, and macOS operating systems. Clementine is released under the terms of the GPL-3.0-or-later.
Clementine was created due to the transition from version 1.4 to version 2 of Amarok, and the shift of focus connected with it, which was criticized by many users. The first version of Clementine was released in February 2010.
The last stable release of Clementine was in 2016, but development has since resumed on GitHub, with a number of release candidate versions published. On 15 October 2024, the first non-RC release since 2016 was published.
In 2018, a fork of Clementine named Strawberry Music Player was released. It includes some differences such as being compatible with Qt 6, more focus on local music playback, playback of high-resolution audio sources (HD audio) without resampling and fewer dependencies on libraries and third-party code
