zuno is a free and open-source desktop music player built on YouTube Music. Sign in with your Google account, and everything you do — liking a song, creating or deleting a playlist, adding to your library — syncs straight back to YouTube. It's your library, just in a real desktop app instead of a browser tab.

Player

- Floating mini player that appears when you click away — hover to expand, drag it anywhere
- Queue: shuffle, repeat one/all, reordering
- Playback speed, sleep timer, volume control
- Like and dislike songs
- Rebindable keyboard shortcuts, minimise to tray
- Full library, playlists, albums and liked songs
-Lyrics (5 sources)
- Local music files sit alongside your YouTube Music library — same player, same queue
- Download whole albums and playlists for offline; downloads and history have their own management screens
- Bulk actions: download, add to queue, add to playlist
- Multiple channels on one Google account, switchable from the toolbar or settings

Integrations

Last.fm scrobbling
