Pragha is a Lightweight Music Player for GNU/Linux, based on Gtk and sqlite. It is completely written in C, constructed to be fast, light, and simultaneously tries to be complete without obstructing the daily work. ;)

A tiny history of the project.? Consonance, An excellent player emerged in the archlinux forums, was discontinued. The author, Sacamano said in his blog: "Which doesn't mean that it won't be maintained. I would still be fixing bugs, but major feature additions are not in the pipeline, because I have completed all that I wanted to see in Consonance. It has been a fun project. :)"

Well.. Dissonance is the project to continue developing Consonance, and its result is Pragha Music Player. A New reproducer of music.. ;)
