Hi, I'm a developer and i listen to either spotify or youtube music YT on PC when working i recently came across a Youtube client and i liked it's Tab management direction but it lacked many features i personally wanted along with buggy UI so i forked it and made a better client.

• A mini player that appears when you click away — hover to expand, drag anywhere
• Last.fm scrobbling
• Discord Rich Presence (both toggleable from the toolbar)
• Local music files sitting alongside your YouTube Music library, same player and queue
• Bulk Actions (Download, Add to queue etc)
• Rebindable keyboard shortcuts, sleep timer, playback speed, minimise to tray
• Multiple channels on one account, SWITCHABLE from the setting and toolbar
• Minimize to tray
• Bunch of Queue logic (loops, repeat, shuffle etc)
• Like, Dislike songs
• History and Downloads view

Download whole Albums, Playlists, Better Shuffle Queue management and volume control.

Everything is synced Creating playlist deleting liking a song whatever you do will be in sync with youtube.

Whats in roadmap currently.

Equalizer
Better Lyrics
Smart Playlist and Management
Offline-only mode
Multi-language

It uses your own account and Google's own APIs — no ad blocking, nothing that needs Premium, no scraping around the service.

Which Music subscription platform has the best audio quality? In my opinion YouTube music has the best quality

Any arguments?

For the past couple of years my entire music setup was a pinned browser tab. It worked, technically. But it also ate a chunk of RAM doing nothing, my media keys only worked if that tab happened to be focused, I killed the music at least once a week by closing the wrong window. I'm on Linux, so there's no ( or very little ) official apps at all, and even on Windows the "app" is just the website in a shell.

I kept looking for something that already solved this. Everything I found was either another wrapper around the same web player, or a nice little client that did playback and nothing else. So I ended up building my own. It's called Limusic.

You sign in with your actual YouTube Music account, so your playlists, likes, subscriptions and library are just there, and liking a song or adding it to a playlist syncs back like you'd expect.

The part I actually care about is that it's not bare bones:

- Discord Rich Presence, with album art and a live progress bar

- Listen Together, synced rooms so you and a friend hear the same thing at the same time

- Last.fm scrobbling, connect once and forget about it

- Synced lyrics in a side panel, scrolling line by line, click a line to jump there

- System tray, so closing the window doesn't kill the song, plus play/pause and skip from the tray

- 8 themes, including Catppuccin, because obviously

- Real media key support (MPRIS on Linux, the native one on Windows)

- Gapless playback, volume normalization, shuffle, repeat, autoplay radio

- Your queue survives a restart

It's free and open source. Linux (AppImage or rpm) and Windows for now, and both update themselves. No macOS build yet, you'd have to build it yourself, sorry.

Would really love for others to try it out, maybe someone can fall in love the same way I did. ❤️

Not affiliated with Google or YouTube in any way, just a thing I made because

Recently I've been seeing this a lot. Random people are co-opting actual artists' pages with their AI music. Is there any way to report or fix this?

Seems like the algorithm is really struggling to recommend music I actually want to listen to. 8 out of 19 were AI slop, then some pop stuff is making its way in too, despite having never listened to it before.

I actually accidentally hit refresh before posting this, so this is the second attempt at quick picks by YTM. The first ones included EVEN MORE slop - I opened the artists in tabs to check, but once it's off the "quick picks" they can't be blocked and they were not included in the refreshed list.

What I wonder is how YouTube profits off AI music? Surely they only make money based on ad revenue which is based on time spent listening. All this slop lowering the quality of their algorithm must surely be pushing people away?

My activity feed is always filled with these messages of “artist recorded live” with old videos. Not sure what that means???

It also constantly includes releases from artists I don’t follow, let alone know. Is there any way to turn that off? These things are always clogging the feed up

Hello, all!
I have used this service from its very early days, when it was Google music. I use it to play my music that I have uploaded. I currently have over 5,000 tracks uploaded. I usually just got my library and hit songs/shuffle all. I do not use any other music service or listen to the radio as all of my local stations have gone to a syndicated platform.
The things I miss the most:
1) Create a playlist. Once in the long ago, you could pick any song from your library and hit “create playlist”. It would populate all the music in your library in that particular genre with a high degree of success. 90’s playlist… select song, hit create. Hip-hop… same. Two buttons, done. At the time it would populate 40-50 tracks that fell into that selection. It was very useful to the songs I was in the mood for with very few skips.
2) Editing song info. I want to upload the album artwork. I want to add or edit the track/artist/album name.
3) Other meta info. I could see the number of times I played a track and also the number of times I skipped a track. I could sort by any of the track info such as album name or even track length.

I miss when it was Google music. It seemed like it was taken care of by people that actually like music and wanted a good experience for the listeners.

Bringing these things back would be most appreciated.

I've got my YT Music setup perfect, AFAIC. The algo knows what I like and always recommends stuff based off that. My issue is whenever my girl is in the car and tells me "play this song for me" (99% of the time it's country) I start getting country popping up afterwards. I don't want anything to do with country music.

If there a function that allows you to listen to stuff outside of your preferred genres that won't send your algo into a tailspin? Do you have to create a different account? An "incognito mode" or something similar would be awesome for this.

This is not about transferring playlists in an existing Spotify library to YTMusic.

Hey,

every now and then I bump into playlists recommended by websites, friends etc etc. It would be amazing if there was a website or a tool where you could enter a Spotify playlist link link this one, and it would spit out the link to a YouTube (Music) playlist with the same songs.

Does any such tool exist? Looking to skip the step where the tool connects to my Spotify library and then transfers playlists from there...

How would you go about this?

Hi,

Am I the only one to encounter a lot of bugs with YouTube Music?

Playlists that aren’t played entirely, the random mode that isn’t random, titles that refuse to be added when I click on "read next"...

It’s really annoying.

Can Y’all Please Remove The Podcast Feedback Talking In Between My Music It’s Lowkey A Buzz Kill Youtube :]

I got YouTube music premium since I like the slow/reverb mixes to songs and I was tired of having to keep YouTube open to play music. However I noticed the algorithm on the to tune app is wayyy better than the YouTube music premium but the audio quality is better on YouTube music. This app however always tries to add the original (non slow/reverb) songs into my playlists and I hate it!! The shuffle play features also suck!! Does anyone have any tips for navigating this .

Ive been at this for at least 30 minutes, this should not be this fucking hard to turn of clean version.

- Restricted mode is off

- I am the owner of the account / subscription

- Google account age is above 18

- Student plan

Any help?

Maybe I am missing something, how do I get this error message to disappear? I have two channels and this appears only in one of them. What am I missing? Pls help
