At Akademy 2017 in Almeria, Spain, the Vvave Media Player project was presented to the KDE community for the first time. Vvave is not intended to be yet another music player. Instead, the idea is to create a content-aware multimedia application that makes use of a music information retrieval (MIR) system and relies on AI techniques to recommend new music to its users. With Vvave, users will be able to discover and rediscover their own music collections by managing them contextually. The application will crawl the Internet and use the data found in music information repositories to establish relationships between the tracks in your music library, and generate suggestions based on that.

Since Vvave is a young project, the idea behind it is still evolving. The developer is working on porting Vvave to Kirigami, and currently there is a working version that runs on Android, Plasma Mobile, and on GNU/Linux desktops. Ultimately, Vvave would be a convergent music player with tons of features that allows connecting different devices. There are plans to integrate Vvave with music streaming services, as well as plans for creating an online platform where users can share their music information and interests freely and openly. They would be able to share playlists, lyrics, and annotations, and possibly even stream songs to other users.

The semantic search feature would allow users to search for songs by tags, such as "similar: sam smith" or "lyrics: make me cry" to discover new music or find specific tracks. Currently, Vvave integrates with a browser add-on (for Chrome, Chromium, and Firefox) that can collect songs from YouTube, Vimeo, and others, and import them into Vvave.
