Allow me to show you why. + +### Moosync: Overview ⭐ + +![][3] + +Moosync is a music player that has been written primarily in the **Vue** and **TypeScript** programming languages. + +It is **highly customizable** and has support for services such as [**YouTube**][4], [**Spotify**][5] and [**LastFM**][6]. Some of its key features include: + + * **Lyrics Support** + * **Ad-Free Playback** + * **Local File Support** + + + +#### Initial Impressions 👨‍💻 + +After I set it up on my Ubuntu system, I started **the quick-setup wizard**. + +It took me through many steps to set Moosync up. The first step was to set the location for my music library, from where it would source the local files. + +![][7] + +Thereafter, I was shown **options to connect to services**. + +I **tried connecting my Spotify account** , but **it refused to work** even after I provided Moosync with the required details. Luckily, **this step was optional** , so I skipped it. + +![][8] + +It then took me to the “ **All Songs** ” tab, which is empty for now as I do not have anything connected nor any local music files. + +![][9] + +I started populating Moosync by **searching for some songs.** Considering I did not have local or Spotify music, I clicked on the YouTube filter to search for my favorite music. + +![][10] + +The search feature also includes filters such as Songs, Artists, Playlists, and Albums. + +![][11] + +I was also able to right-click on individual songs and add them to the queue, or even play them right then. It had several other options too, see for yourself. 👇 + +![][12] + +I tried doing the same while searching the Spotify database, but sadly, I would **have to log in to Spotify for using it on Moosync** , and that, as you know, didn't pan out earlier. + +![][13] + +📋 + +I would suggest you to try the [****BlackHole****][14] music app if you are looking for better Spotify support. + +Anyway, I moved on to **check out the music player**. It could be accessed either by going into the “Queue” tab, or from the small upwards pointing arrow in the bottom-right of the app. + +It had **a very neat layout** with a familiar feel to it. + +![][15] + +The “ **All Songs** ” tab housed all the songs that I added to Moosync, I had **options to either play from the beginning of the list** , or **add it to the current queue** , and even **play 100 random songs** from it. + +![][16] + +The “ **Playlists** ” tab had all the playlists that I saved from YouTube. It also provided sorting options between local files and YouTube. + +![][17] + +The “ **Albums** ” tab had my saved albums, arranged neatly in a grid layout. + +![][18] + +Similarly, the “ **Artists** ” tab featured the artists I added to my Moosync library. For some reason, it wouldn't load the thumbnails. + +I also skipped over the “ **Genres** ” tab as it **didn't seem to function properly**. + +![][19] + +And finally, the “ **Explore** ” tab that showed me **how many** **minutes of music** I **** listened to. + +![][20] + +Furthermore, **you can find useful customization settings on Moosync** to tweak your experience. + +First up is the “ **Theme** ” settings that let you choose between **three themes** and **two layout views** , with the option to **upload or create a custom theme**. + +![][21] + +Then there were **numerous extensions** available, one was to **enable rich presence support on Discord** , another to **integrate with Soundcloud** , and more. + +![][22] + +Not to forget, **Moosync also supports keyboard shortcuts** that could be configured according to personal preference. + +![][23] + +Moosync has its quirks here and there at the time of writing this, but I think it is a good contender as one of the [best music players for Linux][24]. + +**Suggested Read** 📖 + +![][25] + +### 📥 Download Moosync + +Moosync is available for **Linux** , **Windows** , and **macOS**. Head over to its [official site][26] to get the package of your choice. + +[Moosync][26] + +**For Linux** , you can also get Moosync from the [**Flathub store**][27], [**Snap store**][28], and [**AUR**][29]. + +**Y** ou can also explore its [GitHub repo][30] for the source code and more information. + +_💬 What are your thoughts on this app?
