App features (WIP)

Metadata

  • Edit song, artist, and playlist titles
  • Set UI and metadata languages separately (ex. display the app's UI in English and show songs and artists in Japanese)
  • In-app YouTube Music login for feed personalisation and interaction

Lyrics

  • Fetch and display lyrics from PetitLyrics, with timed lyrics support (in-progress)
  • Display timed lyrics above the home feed
  • Show furigana for Japanese kanji within lyrics using Kuromoji

Song queue

  • Undo button for queue actions (no more accidental swipe removals)
  • Radio filters (if provided by YouTube)
  • 'Play after' button in the long-press menu for songs
    • Similar to 'Play next', but allows you to select a position in the queue and add the song there directly
    • Automatically increments the insertion position when used, so the next song you add will be placed after the last (rather than before, as with 'Play next')

Multi-select

  • A multi-select mode can be started by long-pressing on any media item (song, artist, or playlist) from any screen
  • In multi-select mode, media items can be selected and unselected with a single tap
  • General actions like downloading and adding to a playlist can be performed, as well as some screen-specific actions such as removing from a playlist or removing/shuffling part of the song queue

YouTube parity

  • Home feed (with filters support)
  • Song radio (also with filters support)
  • Custom radio builder
  • Like/dislike songs
  • Subscribe/unsubscribe from artists
  • Display artists and playlists (in-progress)
  • Search
  • Persistent music queue

Home feed

  • Pin any song, playlist, album, or artist to the top of the home feed
  • Disable specific recommendation feed rows (such as 'Listen again' and 'Quick picks') from options
  • Shows the feed's most common artists in a row at the top
  • When offline, the library page is displayed instead

Connectivity

  • Customisable Discord rich presence (with image support) using KizzyRPC, with in-app login
    • Editable text
    • Toggleable 'open on YouTube' button and 'visit project' button

Theming

  • UI theme editor
    • Multiple themes with different names can be created
  • By default, automatically uses a colour from the current song thumbnail as the theme accent colour
    • Users can select a different colour from a palette generated using the thumbnail, or select a colour directly from the image
  • Three modes for theming the player menu:
    • Use accent colour as background (default)
    • Use accent colour for elements, with the background using the main background colour
    • Do not use the accent colour
  • Three accent colour sources:
    • Theme colour
    • Current song accent colour
    • System theme colour

Playlists

  • Playlists can be created locally and then, optionally, can be converted to a YouTube playlist on your account
  • Supports renaming, song add, remove, and reorder, and setting a custom image (currently only selectable from an added song)
  • Songs can be added from any screen from the long press menu, or by selecting multiple songs

Other

  • UI theme editor
  • Option to automatically use a colour from the current song thumbnail as the theme accent colour
