RIVER PLAYER
Your music has a current.
Rediscover the music you already own through the River listening engine — a non-repeating, evolving journey drawn as the Living Current.
Alpha 0.1.0-alpha.1 · Windows 10/11 · x64

River is an alternative to conventional shuffle. It remembers where the music has been and creates a flowing listening journey — every track plays once before the River returns.
No repetition. No randomness that forgets. A current that carries you through your entire library.
A real-time visualization that reflects the River's direction, momentum, and musical energy as you listen.
Not a screensaver. An instrument panel for your listening journey.
River Player plays the music you already own. Point it at your library and let the River flow. No uploads required. No account required for local playback.
MP3, WAV, FLAC, and AAC where supported.
Organize your music your way. Build playlists, browse by album or artist.
Your local library works without signing in. No subscription. No cloud.
Built with JUCE. Native performance, media keys, taskbar controls.
Connect River Mobile to your Windows player and transfer music between devices. Start a River on your desktop, continue it on your phone.
Share music into a live communal listening current. A shared River where everyone's music flows together.
River Player is currently being tested with a small group of users. Some features, including River Link and Nubian Verse, are still in development.
This alpha build is currently unsigned. Windows may display an Unknown Publisher or SmartScreen warning during installation. Public releases will be digitally signed by Nubian Beats.
River Player is built by Nubian Beats — an African cinematic soundtrack house creating a living archive of sound, memory, and futurism.
