- For
- Mac and Linux listeners who work in a terminal
- Worth noticing
- The account-free demo is explicitly non-playing; YouTube Music’s Home, search, lyrics, and song radios are described as usable signed out.
Field notes
The homepage lists separate Spotify and YouTube Music builds, and says each excludes the other service’s code. Spotify runs through librespot as a Spotify Connect device; YouTube Music uses mpv with streams from yt-dlp. The page also describes media-key support and behavior around sleep and wake, while the no-account demo is for trying the interface rather than listening to music.
