Harmonoid is a program for Windows, an audio player that combines local library playback with modern streaming and rich metadata integration.
Source
The app supports direct playback from YouTube Music, allowing users to stream songs and albums without switching between tabs. Similar to SoundCloud, there is a massive online catalog in addition to the local library. The searching process is straightforward and comes with numerous filters.
The built-in scanner automatically organizes audio files into a coherent music library. Songs are categorized by artist, album and genre for easy browsing and playback. Moreover, the player displays synchronized lyrics for tracks in real time, both from local files and YouTube streams. You can follow along with compositions using the karaoke-style highlight system.
Quality
This is an open source project, built using Dart and Flutter, providing smooth animations and a responsive UI across desktops. Audio playback is powered by native system decoders to reduce latency and improve quality. You can enjoy gapless playback, meaning there are no silent breaks between tracks, perfect for listening to long and concept-focused albums.
