Music

Music is a player for the songs already on your computer. It reads your music folders, plays them with synced lyrics, an equalizer and volume leveling, and adds internet radio, downloads and batch tools for tags, conversion and quality checks.

Where it is

Superpowers › Music. To turn it off or on: Settings › Integrations › Music, switch Enable Music.

How to use it

1. Open Music. The first time, click Add music folder and pick the folder where you keep music. You can also paste a folder path in Settings inside Music.
2. Wait for the scan. The sidebar shows its progress, and later scans only re-read files that changed.
3. Click a song, an album or a playlist to play it. The player bar stays at the bottom.
4. Drop audio files, folders or .m3u, .m3u8 and .pls playlists on the window to add them.

Playlists

• New playlist: the + next to Playlists in the sidebar. Drag songs onto a playlist in the sidebar, or right-click a song and choose Add to playlist.
• New smart playlist: a set of rules (Match all or any of these rules) on fields such as genre, year, BPM, key, rating, plays or last played, with Sort by and Limit. It updates itself.
• Import M3U and Export as M3U move playlists in and out of other players.

The side panel

The queue, lyrics and sound controls open in a panel on the right, with three tabs:

• Queue: what plays next, Save as playlist, Clear, and a Sleep timer (including End of song).
• Lyrics: synced or plain lyrics. Find lyrics looks them up on LRCLIB. Edit lyrics accepts LRC or plain text, and Sync by tapping lets you press Space when each line starts. Save to chooses Next to the song (.lrc), Inside the file or Only in OmniGet.
• Sound: Equalizer with presets, Volume leveling, Transitions (Crossfade, Gapless, Automix, Skip silence), Playback speed with Keep pitch, and the Visualizer.

Radio

Discover searches a public station directory. Add URL takes an Icecast, Shoutcast, HLS .m3u8, .pls or .m3u address. When a station sends song titles, Download this song opens Download with the artist and title already typed.

Download

Music downloads use the format in Settings › Downloads, Music download format (M4A by default), and are saved to an OmniGet folder inside your first music folder (or inside your system’s Music folder if you have none). The exact path is shown at the top of Download and in Music’s Settings. See Audio only.

Tools

Tool	What it does
Analyze	Measures loudness (for volume leveling), tempo, musical key, the waveform, silence and the real frequency range of each song, in the background. Write ReplayGain tags saves the gain inside the files so other players level the volume too.
Convert	Converts songs to MP3, AAC, Opus, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, ALAC or WAV, with file name tokens, silence trimming, volume leveling baked in, sample rate and fades.
Rename	Renames and moves files into folders from their tags. Preview first; nothing moves until you click Rename files.
Lyrics	Looks up lyrics for every song without them on LRCLIB. Only synced lyrics skips plain ones.
Duplicates	Finds the same song more than once and keeps the best-quality copy first.
Quality	Draws a spectrogram. A lossless file that stops in a hard line was likely converted from a lossy file.

Analyze, Convert and Quality need FFmpeg. If it is missing, install it in Settings › Dependencies.

Right-click any song for Play next, Add to queue, Rating, Edit info… (tags, cover art and Look up on MusicBrainz), Show in folder, Remove from library and Delete file.

Common problems

Removing a folder or a song deleted nothing

That is on purpose. Remove from library and Remove folder? only take songs out of Music; the files stay on disk. A removed song comes back on the next scan if it is still inside a music folder. Only Delete file deletes from disk, and it asks first.

A FLAC file is marked as fake lossless

The Quality check found a hard frequency cutoff, which usually means the file was made from an MP3 or AAC. The file still plays; it just is not true lossless.

A radio station does not play

The message “This station isn’t responding. Try another one.” means the stream is down or the address changed. Pick another station, or paste a current stream address in Add URL.
