Desktop YouTube Music App Musictube Gets ‘Major Overhaul’
A new version of Musictube, a Qt-based desktop app that lets you stream music from YouTube, is available for download for Windows, macOS and Linux.
Musictube 2 is described as a “major overhaul” offering an improved search algorithm that now supports genres in addition to artists, albums and song titles.
The user interface has been refreshed, sporting a “more modern, flatter and generally cleaner” look — a look matching the revamped UI Flavio’s local music player app Minitunes received a few months back.
Other changes in Musictube 2 include lighter resource usage by only streaming audio when videos are hidden; zoomable fonts; larger lyrics in the info panel; and a few underlying upgrades to Qt 6 components.
