Have you ever wanted to listen to a song badly only to find out that it is not on your hard disk? Tomahawk is a powerful music player that can fetch the best quality audio for the song you search and play it for you. It looks up a number of web services to find the music. It can play audio files on your device too. Tomahawk uses Qt project’s Phonon multimedia framework to play music. It’s also a social music player where you can discover what your friends are tuned to.

Note that Tomahawk has a overwhelming number of dependencies, a drawback in my opinion.
