JuK is a free software audio player by KDE, the default player since K Desktop Environment 3.2.^[3] 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 CVS, where it has grown into a mature audio application. It was first officially part of KDE in KDE 3.2.^[4]

Though an able music player, JuK is primarily an audio jukebox application, with a strong focus on management of music,^[5] as shown by features such as:

• Collection list and multiple user defined playlists.
• Ability to scan directories to automatically import playlists (.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).

• Free software portal
