ABOUT

Casey Langen, the developer of musikCube is one of the original developers of WxMusik . Langen left that project, which Gunnar Roth now develops, to work on his latest project - musikCube.

musikCube uses a Backend entitled ''musikCore'', this controls the database and playback functionality of the software and has no gui code of its own. From this framework it is possible to build an alternative GUI for any Operating System . A Linux version exists but has not been promoted due to lack of configure scripts and Make files.

The library database uses SQL , this way of storing data allows it to be very accessible. For example the user can create dynamic playlists that sort and gather tracks together through simple queries. This feature and examples can be found on the musikCube wiki .
