Levyra-deepsound ~ FOSS Music Player
Play streamed music and your own files in the same app, save tracks for offline listening, and follow synced lyrics. Levyra does not need an account and does not track you.
Features:
- Native playback: Media3 and ExoPlayer on Android, libVLC through direct C bindings on Windows (no web wrappers).
- Gapless & audio tuning: uninterrupted album transitions, crossfade, pitch shifting, custom playback speed, 10-band EQ, and AutoEQ headphone profiles.
- SponsorBlock: automatically skips sponsored segments, intros, outros, and non-music chatter.
- Audio & video modes: one-tap switch between audio-only streaming and full video with subtitle tracks.
- Clean offline downloads: saved directly in device storage as standard M4A files with metadata, artwork, and lyrics.
- Unified library: local files and streamed tracks share the same playlists, favorites, and queues.
- Optional YouTube Music sign-in (Android): connect your account to browse your music and import playlists, liked songs and albums. No account needed if you’d rather keep using Levyra as it is.
- Queue Spaces: keep multiple active listening sessions side by side without losing your current queue.
- Synced lyrics: tap-to-seek, manual timing adjustments, dedicated Bluetooth latency offset, and non-Latin romanization.
- Visuals: motion artwork on the Now Playing screen, falling back to animated album covers.
- Global skins (Android): seven complete looks, each with its own layout and not just a new set of colors. Nocturne 78 brings vintage hi-fi warmth, Prism pairs deep black with raspberry accents, Torque goes for bold graphite shapes and Ivory is a soft, bright look with a dark mode of its own. Spotify Style, Apple Music Style and YouTube Music Style follow the layouts people already know from those apps. Every skin restyles Home, Explore, Library, Settings, the mini player and the full player. You’ll find them under Settings → Design → Skin. Levyra Default stays the default, and your customizations are kept when you switch back and forth.
- Theme Studio: sixteen presets, including Midnight, Aurora, Pure Material, Velvet and Editorial. You can also build your own themes: pick background, surface and accent colors from swatches or a HEX code, choose light or dark, set how round the corners are, then save, rename or duplicate them. Levyra Aura stays the default, and one tap brings it back.
- Mini player studio: five alternative mini player designs (Super Expressive, Floating, Liquid Glass, Ultra Compact and Artwork Focus), each with its own size, shape, progress bar and control options, plus a live preview. The original mini player stays the default, so nothing changes until you pick something else.
- Navigation studio: four extra styles for the bottom bar (Super Expressive, Floating Dock, Minimal and Expressive Compact). Drag the buttons into the order you like, hide Explore or Library, choose when labels show, and pick the indicator, icon size, height and background. Home and Search always stay in the bar.
- System integration: Android Auto, lockscreen media controls, persistent notifications, and Quick Settings tile.
- Device integration (Android): Levyra recognizes the phone it runs on and turns on what that system supports. On HyperOS 3 it shows synced lyrics in the Super Island, on OriginOS it shows the current track in the Atomic Island, and OPPO, OnePlus and realme keep their system lyrics panel. Samsung’s Now Bar and other phones use the standard media controls. Settings → Integrations shows what was detected and links to the right battery page for background playback.
- Song recognition: on-device music identification through the microphone or internal audio, saved in local history.
- Explore: live radio stations, international charts, and genre or mood browsing.
- Levyra Vault: backup and restore playlists, favorites, history, and preferences in a single local file.
- Private stats: on-device play counts and listening hours, with optional Last.fm and ListenBrainz scrobbling.
