"..it may also create a ripple effect among software makers, should enterprising developers choose to incorporate it into future creations, offering novel ways to make on-demand music playback and distribution simpler."

"Following the piece in this month's issue, I downloaded and installed the Tomahawk player to see if it really is as good as Eamonn Forde says. By golly, I think he may be right."

"Just try it once to fall in love madly Tomahawk and turn it into our favorite media player... believe me you will not be disappointed!"

"Just try it once and believe me you won’t be disappointed by this awesome music player."

"Tomahawk simplifies all this and focuses on music management and playback. But with great advantage, the ability to make use of streaming music services..."

"I was pleasantly surprised by Tomahawk at just about every turn."

"It just works, despite all the complicated machinery happening behind the scenes."

"Tomahawk is a genius social music player that aims to integrate your music collection from the myriad of music discovery and streaming services with your local digital music libraries. While its concept is already incredibly revolutionary, the coolest parts might be that it’s also open-source and cross-platform."

"...it is really representing the next generation of music players"

"This is precisely the problem that Tomahawk aims to solve. So far, it's doing a phenomenal job of it. To get an idea of what Tomahawk is, imagine if iTunes not only scanned your hard drive for MP3s, but also let you plug YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify, ex.fm and a number of other digital music services into it."

"...one of the most impressive music players we’ve seen for a long while."

"Just watch a few of the videos made by one of the creators of this incredible program. You will be surprised."

"To me, this kind of top-level resolver is the future of music sharing on the web. It isn’t bound to any one service, and places the user’s experience first and foremost by ensuring that where possible any barriers to access are removed. This is the kind of open web I hoped we would one day see – not one locked to monopolies."

"My 9-year-old daughter cannot understand why, when she has heard me play a song once to her on one device, why I would not be able to play it again on any device wherever I was. The idea of music being tethered to a playback device, a physical object or indeed an individual service is completely alien to her. I hasten to add this is not because of my seamless ability to sync my various iphones/pads/laptops -- which are often erratically combined -- but because she perceives the playing of music in a fundamentally different way to me and my peers. A perception those of us seeking to connect to a younger audience and to exploit emerging technologies would do well to pay attention to. For those wishing to experience her reality you only need to look at http://www.gettomahawk.com/ to understand how far our consumption of music has come."

"Music startup Tomahawk has unveiled its latest thing: a hack created for this month’s Amsterdam Music Hack Day. It’s called Toma.hk, and the company describes it as “an easy way to share links to songs that work for virtually everyone, not just people that use the same music service that you do”. The idea being people share a link with friends, which when clicked takes them to a Toma.hk song page, which resolves the track against a number of services, then plays it from whatever one they have access to. The links can be created by searching for an artist name and song title on the site, or by right-clicking on a track in the Tomahawk desktop player. A clever idea."

"...the revolutionary benefits of the program and make it very interesting..."

"... an open source media player that is a 'social' and supports a large number of music services streaming combined with some innovative features."

"A highlight of the South by Southwest festival..."

"...you should definitely pay attention to a very interesting project called Tomahawk."

"It's when you start to use the program's resolvers that it will be something completely different and, yes, I am not exaggerating: revolutionary."
