Ario is a GTK2 client for MPD (Music player daemon). 

The interface used to browse the library is inspired by Rhythmbox but Ario aims to be much lighter and faster. It uses GTK+2, avahi for MPD server detection and curl to download remote files (like cover arts and lyrics). 

Various plugins are provided like audioscrobbler/last.fm submission or multimedia keys support.
