'''JuK''' is a [[free software]] [[Audio player (software)|audio player]] by [[KDE]], the default player since [[K Desktop Environment 3|K Desktop Environment 3.2]].<ref name="ArsKDE3.2">{{cite web |url=https://arstechnica.com/software/reviews/2004/02/kde-3-2.ars/3 |title=Deep inside the K Desktop Environment 3.2 |last=Pinto |first=Henrique |date=February 22, 2004 |publisher=[[Ars Technica]] |page=3 |access-date=February 18, 2009}}</ref> JuK supports collections of [[MP3]], [[Ogg Vorbis]], and [[FLAC]] audio files.

JuK was started by Scott Wheeler in 2000, and was originally called '''QTagger'''; however, it was not until 2002 that the application was moved into KDE [[Concurrent Versions System|CVS]], where it has grown into a mature audio application. It was first officially part of KDE in KDE 3.2.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/changelog3_1_5to3_2.php|title = KDE 3.1.5 to KDE 3.2.0 Changelog}}</ref>

== Features ==
Though an able music player, JuK is primarily an audio jukebox application, with a strong focus on management of music,<ref name="LinuxMag-Juk20">{{cite web |url=http://w3.linux-magazine.com/issue/43/Juk_20.pdf |title=Play and manage your music with JuK 2.0 |last=Molkentin |first=Daniel |date=June 2004 |work=[[Linux Magazine]] |pages=78–79 |access-date=February 18, 2009 }}{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> as shown by features such as:

* Collection list and multiple user defined playlists.
* Ability to scan directories to automatically import playlists ([[M3U|.m3u]] files) and music files on start up.
* Dynamic Search Playlists that are automatically updated as fields in the collection change.
* A Tree View mode where playlists are automatically generated for sets of albums, artists and genres.
* Playlist history to indicate which files have been played and when.
* Inline search for filtering the list of visible items.
* The ability to guess tag information from the file name or using [[MusicBrainz]] online lookup.
* File renamer that can rename files based on the tag content.
* [[ID3v1]], [[ID3v2]] and [[Ogg Vorbis]] tag reading and editing support (via TagLib).
