## What it is
Radiant Player is a native macOS application that wraps Google Play Music into a standalone desktop app with media key support, notifications, a menu bar mini player, and Last.fm scrobbling. The project is deprecated and archived because Google Play Music was shut down.

## Use cases
- play google play music as a native mac app
- control music with mac media keys
- scrobble google play music to last.fm
- get notifications when the song changes
- mini player in the mac menu bar

## When to choose
- you still need a native macOS wrapper for Google Play Music on an old setup
- you want a lightweight native alternative to Electron-based players for legacy Google Play Music

## When to avoid
- you use YouTube Music or any current streaming service - the app no longer functions
- you need a maintained, supported music player
- you run a modern macOS version without Adobe Flash Player
