Pear Desktop ~ Desktop Client For YouTube Music

Posted by tom2tec on

Pear Desktop is an Electron-based desktop client for YouTube Music designed for Windows, Linux and macOS. The project keeps the standard YouTube Music interface while adding desktop integration, plugins, themes and additional playback features.

The application is open source and distributed under the MIT license.

Features:

  • Native desktop-style window and controls
  • Plugin framework
  • Ad blocker
  • Lyrics support
  • Last.fm scrobbling
  • Discord Rich Presence
  • Media key support
  • Custom themes and CSS
  • Audio compressor
  • Equalizer
  • Crossfade
  • Skip silences
  • SponsorBlock integration
  • Video/audio mode toggle
  • Notification support
  • Downloader plugin
  • OBS integration
  • System tray support
  • Global keyboard shortcuts

How It Works

Pear Desktop loads the standard YouTube Music web interface inside a desktop application window and extends it through plugins and Electron desktop integration. It is not a standalone music service and still requires a YouTube Music or Google account for normal use.

Basic Usage

  1. Download the correct installer for your operating system from the Releases page.
  2. Install and launch the application.
  3. Sign into your Google account.
  4. Use YouTube Music normally.
  5. Optional plugins can be enabled or disabled from the Plugins menu.

Platforms

  • Windows
  • Linux
  • macOS

Notes

Because Pear Desktop uses Electron, memory and CPU usage are generally higher than lightweight native audio players such as foobar2000 or AIMP. The project is intended primarily as a feature-enhanced desktop frontend for streaming music from YouTube Music rather than as a traditional local-library music player.

Discogs ~ Gallery

Posted by tom2tec on

What started as a straightforward Python script to sort and organize my vinyl records, in order to visualize my collection, ended up being a bit more than the initial intent was.

I was sat at home, sick, for the last few days which gave me plenty of time to listen to and organize my collection whilst also programming this custom gallery view with an obvious nod to the old IOS -6 Cover Flow which I always wished came back somehow.
