Install Cantata 1.5.0.1 Music Player Daemon in Linux Mint and Ubuntu Based Distro

Cantata is a (yet another!) client for the music player daemon (MPD). Originally started as a fork of QtMPC, the code is now *very* different. Cantata can be compiled with KDE support, or as a pure Qt4 application. The interface is very configurable – most views can be shown as either a list or tree structure.

Currently Cantata has the following views:
1. Library – sorted as Album Artist (or Artist if Album Artist not set), Album, and finally Track.
2. Albums – displays albums as icons, sorted by their title.
3. Folders – displays MPDs virtual filesystem. (This view is hidden by default)
4. Playlists
5. Dynamic – dynamic playlists
6. Streams – allows saving of internet radio URLs, searching for stations via TuneIn or ShoutCast, station listings from; Digitally Imported (+Sky, JazzRadio, RockRadio), TuneIn, IceCast, ShoutCast, SomaFM, etc.
7. Online – Jamendo, Magnatune, SoundCloud, and Podcasts
8. Devices – enables copying from/to USB-Mass-Storage (UMS) and MTP devices, and ripping AudioCDs
