Soundscape is an open-source system-tray resident desktop application for playing a mix of sounds, e.g. natural sounds by animals or wind and water.
The application comes with two example soundscapes. Use mouse right-click in the main window or on the tray icon to access application menu where you can add or remove soundtracks and change their settings.
For each track you can change its volume, loop transition and playback state.
From the application menu you can pause and resume all tracks at once.
On Linux and Windows, use the Quit item from the application menu to finish
the application. Pressing the close window button will just minimize the
application to the tray.
Command line options:
--load <path to file>load track list from a file on start,--minimizeminimize window to tray on start,--disable-traydisable tray icon.
Freesound is a good source of sounds for your own soundscapes.
