MellowPlayer Integrates Music Streaming Services With Your Desktop (Cross-Platform)

MellowPlayer is a Qt-based free and open source desktop application for cloud music services. It currently supports 21 services and runs on Linux, Windows and MacOS.

The player adds desktop integration like a system tray icon, hotkeys / multimedia keys support, MPRIS v2, and notifications on top of online music streaming services.

It currently supports the following music streaming services (its website doesn't yet list all of them):

8traks
Anghami
Bandcamp
Deezer
Google Play Music
Hear this at
HypeMachine
Jamendo
Mixcloud
Player FM
Plex
Pocket Casts
Radionomy
Soundcloud
Spotify
Tidal
Tune In
Wynk
Yandex Music
ympd (MPD Web GUI)
YouTube

Each online music streaming service is integrated as a plugin, which makes it easy to add support for more services in the future.

Not all services are supported on every platform though - see this page for a list of supported devices and platforms.

Update: Netflix and YouTube Music have been added in a new MellowPlayer release (3.5.0). The 3.5.0 release also adds HiDPI scaling, option to start minimized, and more. To be able to use the new Netflix integration offered by MellowPlayer, you'll need to install qt5-webengine-widevine. Ubuntu users will need to compile qtwebflix.

Here is MellowPlayer using Tune In with the Gnome Shell Media Player extension:

You can also control the application using its optional system tray icon:

Supports user scripts
Proxy support

MellowPlayer 3.4.0

The application was updated to version 3.4.0 a few days ago, receiving some important enhancements, like support for Yandex Music, and a settings page for each plugin. Only the YouTube plugin currently has its own service-dependent settings right now, which allow you to set the app to automatically mute and skip ads.

Google Play Music was also enhanced with favorites and seeking support, and the Spotify integration was fixed.

Also, with this release, the MellowPlayer repository was finally updated with support for Ubuntu 18.04 / Linux Mint 19.
