About Harmonoid
Harmonoid plays and organizes a local music library on Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS. Playback runs on mpv and FFmpeg, so it handles a wide range of formats, and tags are read with TagLib. Audio options include playback speed, pitch, volume boost, crossfade, ReplayGain and exclusive mode.
It includes a tag editor, playlists, lyrics lookup, a built-in Last.fm scrobbler and Discord Rich Presence. It integrates with each platform's media controls, such as MPRIS on Linux, and is not an Electron app.
