YouTube Music for Desktop

YouTube Music has really come a long way since it first popped up in November 2015. There have been tons of upgrades, fresh looks, and some great changes in streaming quality that have made the platform so much better!

Unique Features of YouTube Music

What makes YouTube Music for Desktop stand out is that it's not just about audio streaming; it also includes video streaming, which gives it a twist compared to other premium services like Apple Music or Spotify.

Why You Might Want a Dedicated App

Now, do we really need an official client for YouTube Music? Maybe not. But wouldn't it be nice to have one? Especially if you're tired of juggling multiple tabs in your browser.

The App Overview

Yes, you read that right! The app is called YouTube Music for Desktop. It's free and open-source, built on Electron, and works on Linux, macOS, and Windows. The goal? To take your YouTube Music experience up a notch—and trust me, it does.

A Fresh Look and Feel

The app is a legit client for YouTube Music. It feels super modern and does an awesome job of mimicking the look of YouTube Music while making everything more accessible right on your desktop.

Mini Player Feature

One cool feature is the Mini Player (it's still experimental but works great). This lets you control your music with a compact interface—think rewind, play, pause, skip track—all at your fingertips!

Discord Integration

This app really takes your listening experience to another level! Besides the sleek GUI, there's also Discord integration. If you're using Discord while listening, it'll show what you're playing right there!

Customization Options

You can fully customize how both the app looks and behaves. This can be done through the Settings section or by tweaking custom CSS (SASS/SCSS supported).

A Solid Choice for Users

If you're okay with using Electron apps, there isn't much to dislike here. It's a fresh take on what an amazing YouTube Music client should be—and it works just as you'd expect!
