system-tray resident desktop application for playing a mix of sounds, e.g.
natural sounds by animals or wind and water.

## Usage

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.

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 ` load track list from a file on start,
* `--minimize` minimize window to tray on start,
* `--disable-tray` disable tray icon.

[Freesound](https://freesound.org/) is a good source of sounds for your own
soundscapes.
