Besides access to YouTube, SoundCloud, and Deezer, what else does the player offer?

Playlists are beautifully implemented.

At the right hand side of each track there’s three vertical dots.

Click the dots, and you’re presented with a menu that lets you add the track to your play queue, shuffle play, or add the track to a playlist.

If the track is already in your playlist, another option appears which removes the track from the playlist.

I choose to add the track to a playlist, and the window below appears, asking me which track to add the playlist to.

Let’s now have a look at memory usage. Given that the software uses a variety of web-technologies including Electron I wasn’t expecting frugal memory usage. But I was pleasantly surprised, the native player uses about 500MB of RAM in typical usage.

Also look at MusikWave – fully open source, streams from youtube and indexes from last.fm

Before looking at more YouTube players, there’s lots of general music players that you could look. How about Pragha and Museeks? Pragha is a fairly lightweight music player that is written in C and fully integrates with GTK+3. It supports Last.fm. Museeks is Electron based and in early development but it’s pretty darn good.
