YTerMusic is a terminal player for YouTube Music. It connects to an account using authentication information supplied from a browser and presents a compact interface for choosing music.
The application combines a local media cache with a background download manager. Previously downloaded tracks remain available without a connection, while online access is needed to obtain content that has not been cached.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Browse and play YouTube Music playlists and Supermix.
- Search for music, including tracks stored in the local library.
- Shuffle playback and remove tracks from the main playlist.
- Pause and resume playback, move between tracks, and seek forwards or backwards.
- Adjust volume using keyboard shortcuts or the mouse-operated volume control.
- Navigate lists and select playlists or tracks using mouse input in compatible terminals.
- Display download progress and limit background downloading when the queue is full.
- Customise interface colours, including hexadecimal colour values and transparent styling.
- Configure the visibility of homepage channels, albums, and the volume bar.
- Display authentication and playback errors within the terminal interface.
- Support a separate account identifier for YouTube brand accounts.
- Provide commands to repair the cache database, clear cached data, and locate application files.
- Cross-platform support – runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
