A personalisation-first music player, based on a minimalist application. The app is extremely lightweight, with the universal release around 10MB. In contrast, Spotify and Youtube Music's APKs are all 60MB or more. Still, this is feature-packed, with settings such as Discord Rich Presence, line-by-line lyrics, a special UI editor (still WIP), and much more. It has a dynamic Material 3 theme and multiple player styles.
Currently, we are working on movable UI elements and a visualiser. Both of these are still in the WIP stage, so some features may be introduced in part. Although an alpha release of the app with these functions is not going to be here any time soon, you can still try out the latest beta features by compiling the APK yourself.
I NEED A CAT!
Note
This is a fork based on OuterTune/OuterTune.
Occasionally, release APKs would be uploaded, but to test the latest release, please compile the APK yourself, please read the wiki (https://github.com/notK50BML/OuterTune/wiki/Getting-started).>

OuterTune is a supercharged fork of InnerTune. This app is both a local media player, and a YouTube Music client.
- YouTube Music client features
- Song downloading (offline playback) at 130kbps bitrate
- Seamless playback: no ads & background playback
- Account synchronization
- Full playlist sync from the app to the remote account is temporarily unavailable
- Local audio file playback (ex. MP3, OGG, FLAC, etc.)
- Play local and YouTube Music songs at the same time
- Uses a custom tag extractor instead of MediaStore's broken metadata extractor! (e.g tags delimited with \ now show up properly)
- Sleek Material3 design with dynamic accenting
- Up to 30 self-saving queues which auto-update
- Synchronized lyrics, and support for word by word/Karaoke lyrics formats (e.g LRC, TTML) using a variety of providers
- Audio normalization, tempo/pitch adjustment, skip silence, inbuilt parametric equaliser and various other audio effects
- Android Auto support
- Support for Android 8 (Oreo) and higher
Note
Android 8 (Oreo) and higher is supported. While the app may work on Android 7.x (Nougat), we do not officially support this version In order to help people understand the version naming, currently, the convention is v0.xx for a stable release, and v0.xx.x for a small beta release. This beta release typically adds small new features or improves the performance of the app slightly. Occasionally, if something breaks the app, I will push a v0.xx.x update, but I'll explicitly mark it as important. Each major release advances the stable release by 0.01, and any beta release advances the beta release by 0.00.1
Warning
If you're in a region where YouTube Music is not supported, you won't be able to use this app unless you have a proxy or VPN to connect to a YTM supported region.

Outertune and (https://github.com/yuuichi-s/OuterTune) for almost all the main code, this is just a casual project to fix some small errors, but almost ALL credit goes to them.
Note: this builds on a few other Outertune forks, so a lot of credit goes to https://github.com/reocat/OuterTune and of course https://github.com/yuuichi-s/OuterTune
