Tributary is a new alpha-stage music player for Linux written in Rust with GTK4 and libadwaita, designed to modernize the classic Rhythmbox/iTunes-style library interface. It supports local audio files as well as streaming from Jellyfin, Plex, DAAP/iTunes shares, internet radio, and Subsonic/Navidrome. The developer aims for cross-platform support across Linux, Windows, and macOS. While it is not built on Rhythmbox's codebase and lacks some features like device drag-and-drop, it is seen as a promising modern successor given GTK3's maintenance-mode status and Ubuntu's growing interest in Rust.
