Clementine is a cross-platform music player and library organizer inspired by Amarok 1.4. It features a clean interface, smart playlists, internet radio support, and integration with cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive.
The command-line interface allows remote control of a running Clementine instance, making it scriptable for automation or integration with media keys and desktop shortcuts. Files and URLs passed on the command line can be appended to the playlist or played immediately.
Clementine supports a wide range of audio formats through GStreamer, including MP3, FLAC, OGG, and AAC. It can transcode audio, fetch lyrics and album art, tag files, and manage large music libraries with advanced search and filtering capabilities.

Remote control commands require a Clementine instance already running with D-Bus support (Linux) or other IPC mechanisms on macOS/Windows. Some internet radio services require authentication or may have regional restrictions.

Clementine was created in 2010 as a fork of Amarok 1.4, preserving its Qt4-based interface when Amarok moved to KDE4. Named after the fruit in the Portal game, it quickly became popular for its simplicity and cross-platform support. The project spawned Strawberry as a modern continuation in 2018.
