listen1_desktop

Project Overview

Listen 1 Desktop is a cross-platform music player that searches and plays songs from several mainstream music sites for a broader catalog. It supports NetEase Cloud Music, QQ Music, Kugou, Kuwo, bilibili, Migu, and Qianqian Music, and offers favorites so you can build your own playlists. Built with Electron, it runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Combine several music platforms' catalogs into one desktop player.

Key Features

• Multi-platform playback: NetEase Cloud Music, QQ Music, Kugou, Kuwo, bilibili, Migu, and Qianqian Music
• Cross-site search: one search finds songs across several platforms
• Favorites and playlists: favorite tracks and create your own playlists
• Cross-platform: runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux
• Installer distribution: download platform installers from the project page
• Multi-platform packaging: scripts for Windows, Mac, and Linux builds

Target Audience

Quick Start

1. Visit https://listen1.github.io/listen1 to download the installer for your platform
2. Launch the app and enter keywords in the search box for cross-platform search
3. Play songs and add favorites or create new playlists
4. Developers must first run git submodule update --init --recursive
5. Run npm run start for development, or the npm run dist commands to package installers

Core Advantages

• Wider catalog: one search across several platforms reduces switching to find songs
• Native desktop experience: runs as a desktop app, more stable and convenient than the web

Notes

• Playback content comes from music platforms and belongs to them; do not freely download or copy it
• Some platform APIs may break after redesigns, requiring an updated adapter
• Self-builds need the submodule initialized first, or the code is incomplete
• Full functionality requires normal access to the corresponding music platform APIs
