What it does

Everything happens on your computer. Nothing to sign up for.

Any song, straight away

Songs come from YouTube Music and start as soon as you pick them. When the queue ends, songs in the same style keep coming.

Lyrics in time

Words light up the moment they’re sung, in a small card or full screen.

Bring your library

Link Spotify or YouTube Music and your liked songs and playlists come over and stay in sync. From Apple Music, Deezer or SoundCloud, paste a link or drop an exported file.

Ready to play

Songs from your library download in the background, so they start at once. You choose how much room they may take.

Your own music too

Drop music files or a whole folder onto the window and they play in the same player, with their covers.

Make it yours

Pick any colour on the wheel for the theme and the glow around the cover, choose small, normal or big text, and drag songs into your own order.
