## What it is
FeelUOwn is a robust, user-friendly, and highly hackable cross-platform music player written in Python with PyQt. It supports plugins for various music platforms, a TCP-based control protocol, Python-based configuration, and experimental MCP server and AI features.

## Use cases
- play music from multiple streaming platforms on linux
- music player with desktop lyrics
- control music player programmatically via tcp or mcp
- sync text-based playlists between devices
- hackable music player configurable like vimrc
- listen to youtube music and bilibili audio in one app

## When to choose
- you want a free open-source music player on linux, macos, or windows
- you want to aggregate multiple music sources via plugins
- you want a scriptable, hackable player with a python config file

## When to avoid
- you need a mobile music player
- you want a polished commercial streaming client with official licensing
- you need a lightweight terminal-only player
