BassBoom is now available via WinGet!

Starting from today, BassBoom, which is a cross-platform MPEG music player written in C# with libmpg123 as the backend library, is now available via WinGet! This was done as part of our package efforts to make installation easier for our users.

Previously, BassBoom was made available in the official Ubuntu PPA, the Windows Installer format, the Arch Linux PKGBUILD format, in Chocolatey package format, and in NuGet package format.

Now, we took a step further into doing what we did previously to Nitrocid to make installation easier for BassBoom users via WinGet, which is a package manager that lets you install programs with packages as the medium seamlessly with the command line interface. It eliminates the need to perform a web search to download a piece of software, which saves time and effort.

To learn more about how to install BassBoom using WinGet and the package release method, consult the Aptivi Newsroom article below.
