This is probably the only app of its kind

Tomahawk is a music player capable of using both local and cloud libraries. A new update has been released for this application and it comes with a few interesting changes.

Most of the music in your library is probably already available in various cloud services like Grooveshark or Beets, so developers made an app that is capable of using most, if not all of the cloud music services, and thus Tomahawk was born.

"Support for Qt4 in git-master won’t be dropped unless there is a compelling reason to do so, but building with Qt5 is now recommended and the new default. If you prefer to stick to the old Qt version, simply run cmake with -DBUILD_WITH_QT4=ON as an additional argument. At the same time we also started using features of C++11, which is now a requirement to build Tomahawk’s master branch," wrote one of the developers.

According to the changelog, a drag & drop issue on sidebar has been fixed, the memory footprint has been improved, a crash in network code has been corrected, and the application no longer crashes on environments with invalid locales.

This is still not a stable app, but users can download Tomahawk 0.8.4 from Softpedia and give it a try. It's available in numerous formats and it will work on any Linux distro.
