Clementine is a cross-platform free and open source music player and library organizer. It is a port of Amarok 1.4 to the Qt 4 framework and the GStreamer multimedia framework. It is available for Unix-like, Windows and Mac OS X.^[4] Clementine is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License.^[3]

Clementine was created because the Amarok transition from version 1.4 to version 2 was criticized by some users. As a consequence, Clementine was established, based on Amarok 1.4.x. The first version of Clementine was released on February 2010.^[2]
