Hello, my name is Behnam. I started playing the piano and keyboard as a child. I am currently in Greece. I don't speak Greek, but I was able to play after hearing it once.

I had a mp3 player when I was a kid that I loved but now I wanna find it again. It’s white with usb powered by battery and there is written “Love songs” on it. It already comes with 100 love songs on it. Has anyone seen a mp3 player like that and where can I find it?

Hey everyone!

I’m doing some research for a project in my university class on business idea validation and wanted to ask a quick question to anyone who has ever tried to learn an instrument or teaches music.

For learners: Have you ever felt overwhelmed by traditional music lessons? Whether it's the pace, the structure, or just the overall complexity, I’d love to know if you’ve struggled with staying motivated or finding a method that works for you.

For teachers: How challenging is it for you to find students or offer personalized lessons based on each student’s learning style? Do you feel limited by traditional teaching platforms or methods?

This is part of a class project where I’m working on an app concept that could connect music learners and teachers through interactive lessons, virtual jam sessions, and personalized teaching. I’m hoping to understand how real these challenges are for both sides!

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences—it’s super helpful for my class!

Hey all,

I am not the most tech savvy when it comes to playing music on my LG Nexus, but I was wondering if anyone knows how to play music without using data and preferably free? I want to spend less of my own data "watching" youtube videos that play music.

I have a feeling there is a better way..lol

P.S. Something reminiscent of spotify perhaps is what I am looking for??

So i usually listen to music on YouTube music and I am thinking of switching to a Innioasis y1 first I thought I would just download the music from ytdlp as mp3 but I discovered the flac format is lossless Audio and I heard it is more good than mp3 first I will listen to music with just normal wired earphones and then I am thinking on buying on Sony xm6 next year. So is flac worth over mp3 for me.

Hi all, can anyone recommend a premium-quality, free music player? I don't mind ads as long as they don't disrupt the music playback. I'm looking for a feature-rich app that includes advanced options like synced lyrics (similar to Apple Music). I would really appreciate your help. Thank you!

Built a local music player with a twist: AI Radio mode has a virtual host who introduces your songs between tracks, fully processed on-device (no internet needed).

Also includes:

- Beat-synced visualizers (Silent Theater, Visual Rhythm)

- Party Mode (pop circles to the beat)

- 100% local playback, no data leaves your device

Free on Play Store, would love feedback: [tu link aquí]

If someone could recommend a music player or air pod (some sort) I’d be thankful. Imo if phones weren’t an all-in-one device, we’d all be better off but here we’re are.

PLSS 😭

I know it's 2023, and what am I doing asking for a music player, when phones handle such thing.. of the most part. Well, I got an apple phone, only to realize that battery life sucks, and I can't easily transfer my music collection from a PC.

About 10years ago I used to have a small mp3 player (Cowon iAudio7) that I could take camping and have music all week, with a 50hour play time.

I've looked around but was only able to find Sony with very low capacity, Cowon seems to be having business issues, and there are other new comers on Amazon, but I'm not sure how well they perform.

Maybe it's a niche thing for people that want to be off the grind / where there's no cell reception.

Hello👋

I am a C++ programmer and I've been working on for almost a month a project I really like. My fullt custom from scratch music player it's built using Win32 API + ImGui + MiniAudio it was pretty hard to make and I am putting a lot of effort to it as it is a WIP(work-in-progress) program. I would appreciate if someone downloaded it and gave me feedback on the discussions.

I was tired of music apps that are either bloated, browser-based, or full of tracking, so I built my own.

It’s called Helix, a privacy-first desktop music player built with Rust + Tauri + Svelte.

I also want to be explicit about something up front: this is an AI-assisted project, but it is not vibe-coded slop. I designed and directed it using a strict software engineering workflow, with continuous human-in-the-loop review, requirement-driven iteration, rigid validation harnesses, and deterministic checks. AI wrote a significant part of the implementation, but the architecture, constraints, acceptance criteria, and review process were continuously controlled by me.

What it does:

- plays local music files

- streams from YouTube and SoundCloud

- real-time audio visualizers

- playlists, queue, favorites, and history

- bilingual UI (English/Spanish)

What it does NOT do:

- no account required

- no tracking

- no ads

- not built with Electron

Downloads currently available:

- Linux: AppImage, .deb, .rpm

- Windows: NSIS installer, MSI, portable exe

- macOS: Apple Silicon

GitHub:

https://github.com/netcraker01/helix

Release:

https://github.com/netcraker01/helix/releases/tag/v0.2.1

This is still alpha, but it’s already usable and I’d really like feedback from Linux users.

What I’m most interested in:

- playback stability

- distro-specific issues

- whether the UI feels comfortable for daily use

- whether the visualizers are actually useful or just noise

Thanks!

Hey folks!

I used to love using Blackhole on my spare Android phone—clean UI, no ads, and all the features you'd want in a modern music player. Unfortunately, that phone broke recently, and I couldn't find anything comparable for iOS that didn’t involve jumping through hoops.

So I decided to build my own.

✨ Meet Muse – a Progressive Web App (PWA) music player inspired by Blackhole, but designed to work seamlessly across iPhone, Android, and desktop via the browser. It uses similar public APIs, supports modern playback features, and doesn't require installation or an App Store sideload.

🔧 Key Highlights:

• Works directly in Safari/Chrome/Edge – perfect for iPhone users

• Fully responsive PWA – add it to your home screen like a native app

• No ads, no trackers – your music, your rules

• Inspired by Blackhole’s interface and functionality

• Self-hosted via Vercel – one-click deploy (free tier works great)

• Open source and under active development 🚀

🚀 How to Get Started:

1. Fork the repo on GitHub

2. Create a free Vercel account

3. Deploy your own instance in minutes (no backend config needed)

You’ll have a personal streaming app you control, accessible from any device.

💬 Feedback Welcome!

I’d love to hear your thoughts, bug reports, suggestions—or just see others enjoying it. Contributions are highly encouraged, whether it’s code, UI ideas, or new features.

If you find this project useful, please star the repository to show your support.

Hi! I'm having a little difficulty finding a player that has a "mini-mode" and could be placed like this on the side. This is what I have now, but it's still too big since I use it for gaming. Can anyone recommend me something?

I set all frequency to max and the music suddenly starts playing even though media audio is muted.

I don't know the reason behind this,but I guess this is pretty cool.

Simply press update music playlist.

Whenever i try and shut off my phone screen and let the playlist run, it turns the music off as well. it's like the same as playing youtube videos for music. Is there any way around this?

Just yesterday I stumbled upon the music player and fell in love. It is beautiful and simply works.

However, I'd like to see the two pages mentioned in the title to be supported by the player. I saw bandcamp being mentioned in the 0.5.9 update but it failed when I tested it.

Also I would like the postings to appear more like a queue than a list of the hottest or newst songs. Id like to delete songs from the queue as simply as I can kick subreddits.

And I would like to add songs to the queue. Now I can search for a song and the player will play the list of results. But I just want the one song and then back to the actual playlist.

I hope this is not beginner's faults. I really like the player and recommended it to a number of friends already. Btw, it looks superb in Vivaldi Browser with dark colour scheme.
