## What it is
Moosync is a customizable, open-source desktop music player built with Electron and Vue that plays local audio files as well as music from YouTube, Spotify, and many streaming/self-hosted providers. It features a theme engine, LastFM scrobbling, realtime lyrics, recommendations, and an extension API for building custom apps on top of the player.

## Use cases
- play local music files on my desktop
- play youtube and spotify music in one app without ads
- mix spotify and youtube songs in a single playlist
- scrobble my tracks to lastfm and get recommendations
- customize my music player with themes
- connect my plex, jellyfin, or subsonic music library
- listen to internet radio stations
- build extensions for a music player

## When to choose
- you want a free, ad-free desktop player that unifies local files with streaming sources like YouTube and Spotify
- you use self-hosted music servers such as Jellyfin, Plex, Emby, or Subsonic and want one client for them
- you want a highly customizable player with themes and an extension API
- you need LastFM scrobbling, realtime lyrics, and Discord rich presence

## When to avoid
- you need a mobile music player - Moosync is desktop-only (Windows, Linux, macOS)
- you want a lightweight native player - it is Electron-based and relatively heavy
- you expect active development of this repo - it is in maintenance mode while being rewritten in Rust (moosync-tauri)
- you need DRM-protected streaming from subscription services beyond what its integrations support
