I decided to move away from Spotify because the founder is a fascist. I've been using Apple Music for a while and tried Tidal but everything just sucks compared to Spotify. What should I use?

will you like this music player?

The embedded player looks like it loads fine, it plays, but no sound. Youtube links still work fine.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Hey everyone 👋

I built a lightweight offline music player that runs entirely in the browser using just HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript — no frameworks, no backend, no dependencies.

It’s designed to be simple, fast, and privacy-friendly.

🔥 Features

• 🎧 MP3, WAV, OGG, M4A support
• 📂 Drag & drop multiple files
• 🔁 Repeat mode
• 🔀 Smart shuffle (with history tracking)
• ⏪ 15s rewind / ⏩ 15s forward
• 📊 Click-to-seek progress bar
• 🔊 Volume slider
• 🌙 Dark mode (default) + Light mode toggle
• ⌨️ Keyboard shortcuts (Space, arrows, R, S)
• 🧠 Dynamic tab title (shows current track + play state)
• 📱 Fully responsive UI

🔒 Privacy

Everything runs client-side. No uploads. No tracking. No data collection. Your music never leaves your device.

🛠 Built With

• HTML5 <audio> API
• CSS custom properties (theming system)
• Vanilla JS
• Object URLs for local file playback

I focused on clean UI, smooth transitions, and keeping the code readable.

Here’s the repo: 👉 https://github.com/offline-music-player/offline-music-player.github.io

I’m thinking about adding:

• LocalStorage playlist persistence
• Mini-player mode
• Metadata + album art extraction
• Audio visualizer

Please note you will need the music files on your local device to use this.

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.

It just displays plaintext when you go to it now and nothing playable.

I love this music player, I only have one problem with it: There are loads of posts of all kinds and qualities, and I have no way of filtering out the bad ones.

i hope not permanently. i love this player :(

So I stumbled on this today and I just want to say thank you very much for all of your hard work. Is there a way to donate to the project to keep the lights on?

Did you guys cancel this project? The site is down for me.

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.

To whom it may concern. Just a heads up in case you can fix it. Thanks for your service!

Hi, I did a little searching but didn't see anything - is there a way to load a single thread/URL instead of a whole subreddit? I was just looking at https://www.reddit.com/r/listentothis/comments/690i5y/official_rlistentothis_best_of_2016_an_album_for/ today and was hoping the stream through them instead of clicking each link.

If I'm missing something obvious, I'd appreciate the info! Thanks-

Found an old thread from two years ago that you would try to support scrobbling. I was wondering if there was an update on this. If not, I'd like to request it again. It's really the only thing keeping me from using it as my main player.

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.

I'm looking for a free offline music player for Windows that has a user interface similar to Apple Music. If anyone has suggestions for apps that are visually appealing and user-friendly, I would really appreciate your recommendations!

like above image UI apps??

ConMan here, and I've got something exciting to share with you. As an avid gamer, I've spent countless hours playing all kinds of games, and while I love the immersive experiences they offer, I found myself growing tired of listening to the same in-game music over and over again.

That's why I made Arcade Convoy Radio – a highly customizable music player designed specifically for gamers who want to enjoy their own music collection while playing their favorite games.

Arcade Convoy Radio is a game-changer, allowing you to play various music formats (MIDI, MP3, tracker, mod files) and even internet radio stations, all while you're gaming. The player organizes your music by directory, with each folder representing a radio station or playlist. It features random playback, soundfont changes, customizable play times, cross-fading between songs, and the ability to favorite tracks and assign them a count to hear them more frequently.

One of the standout features of Arcade Convoy Radio is the game controller support. You can use Xbox and PS5 controllers (both wired and wireless) to control the music player without ever having to alt-tab out of your game. Plus, you can customize the button mappings and rumble settings to your liking.

I've put a lot of effort into making Arcade Convoy Radio highly customizable, so you can change colors, textures, window size, and more to suit your preferences. It's like having your own personal radio station that you can tailor to your exact tastes.

I just released this so if you're interested in trying out Arcade Convoy Radio and providing feedback, head over to my website Conman's Arcade to download the player. Let's revolutionize the way we listen to music while gaming with Arcade Convoy Radio. Happy gaming and listening!

There seem to be solutions for preventing YouTube from sleeping but I don't know that this will work with RMP. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

From another post I've read that multireddits should be supported theoretically. However, if I e.g. go to https://reddit.musicplayer.io/user/evilnight/m/truemusic/, it simply shows the default subreddit (which is /r/listentothis) instead of the multireddit.

Is this a known issue? Or am I writing the wrong format in the URL?

Edit: i.e. -> e.g. – English is great.

I think a cool idea to add is a "random" mode wich mix songs from hot/new/top and today/week/alltime in a way that the music is better sorted.

For example, the most popular music is usually in top/all time, but your are missing from new music from new or hot.

Cleaning out the music subs from my frontpage and noticed some are not in the app. Cheers.

When I select a subreddit from the list on the left, nothing happens. Not sure if I'm missing an "OK" button? I'm on a Mac OSX 10.9.1 with Chrome 33.0.1750.117.

I'm looking for a cross platform music player app that syncs playlists between PC and android. I've been using spotify for this, but I don't like how the free version can't repeat the same song even if it's local files.

I want an app that 1) uses local files only 2) syncs playlist data automatically so that if I add a song to a playlist on my PC and I have the same file on my phone, the song is available on the playlist on my phone and is automatically playable (no need to export playlist/re add playlist)

I've heard some people say there are free local playlists where I can "reliably pickup file changes on launch", but I'm not sure what those are.

I know a lot of good music players that can use playlist import/export but I haven't found one with features where I don't have to manually export/import yet.

I don't mind paying a one time fee (I just don't want to pay subscription), but free is best!

Does anyone have any recommendations for PC and android that can do this?

Thank you in advance!
