Guayadeque is a free and open-source audio player with database written in C++ using the WxWidgets toolkit. It uses GStreamer to manage the audio and SQLite for the music metadata database.[4]

[edit ]A Qt rewrite of the program was planned in 2019,[4] but it did not end up happening. On 29 September 2023, it was announced on the Guayadeque forums that development had ceased.[5]
A continuation project was founded in 2024 by Thiago Barrionuevo, returning Guayadeque to active development.

The program supports for last.fm, automatic cover art and lyric fetching, a smart playlist feature, VU meters, and the ability to label tracks and edit track tags using MusicBrainz.[7] [8] It also features a system tray icon allowing which allowed control of the program.[6]
