With most multimedia found on the Internet and more and more individuals having access to it, audio and video players have adapted, giving you the possibility to listen to your favorite tunes through direct streaming. Tomahawk is a suitable example with an intuitive design and various features for an enhanced audio experience.

The application is capable of handling both online and offline content. With a clever design, you can easily access any category, search function or library through the side panel, while most space serves as your navigation and management area.

The side panel gives you access both to online and offline methods of organizing your music collection. The Discover section is where you stay up to date with latest changes to your playlist or feed. What's more, you are also able to check out latest trends in the music industry, with a few choices as reference.

You can easily look up favorite artists with the help of an integrated search engine and sort items out for quick identification. You can easily set up a playlist with online content for more comfort.

Multiple pages can be opened at the same time, with a dedicated area on the side panel that places them at your fingertips. As mentioned above, you can also specify a target folder which serves as your music library and can set the application to automatically check for updates and apply them in real time.

Unfortunately, you cannot simply drag songs over the main window so you need to use the dedicated controls. Playlist are also amongst the handy features, with the possibility to populate them with both online and offline content.

In terms of playback options, a visually appealing and intuitive control bar displays currently playing tracks and a progress slider, along with playback options and triggers for repeat or shuffle. While tracks are plying, you can minimize the application to the system tray so it does not take any space.

Sadly, you still need to bring up the main window every now and then, although controls are available through the tray icon, but unless you're good at guessing it's the only way to tell the name of the playing item, with no implemented notifications.

On an ending note, Tomahawk does a pretty good job when it comes to offering a practical audio platform to enjoy your favorite artists and songs. What's more, you can quickly share playlists and songs with your friends through support for in built clients for several popular social networks. Although it can use a moderate amount of resources, it shouldn't be a problem for most machines.
