About Zuno

Zuno brings YouTube Music to the desktop as a focused application rather than a browser tab.
It plays audio natively, with gapless playback, crossfade and a ten-band equaliser, and keeps
synced lyrics, offline downloads, tabs and a mini player close at hand.

Zuno is an independent, unofficial project. It is not affiliated with, authorized by,
sponsored by, or endorsed by YouTube or Google.

What's new in 1.4.0

Accounts
- Switch between multiple YouTube Music accounts without signing out — add a second account and switch instantly. Settings → Account has full management (add, switch, remove); the title bar picker is a quick switch.
- Fixed: a stale macOS Keychain key could make a previously-signed-in session vanish after an update, showing as signed out even with a cached library still on screen.
Playback & Sound
- Pick your exact audio output device from Settings → Playback.
- Real output device list on Linux — actual speaker/headphone names via PipeWire/PulseAudio, with ALSA plugin/virtual noise filtered out.
- New equalizer bypass toggle, and a mini EQ right in the player bar.
- Fixed: some tracks would play 5-10 seconds then auto-skip.
- Fixed: crossfade could stall when the window was minimized.
- Fixed: a YouTube embed error (150/101) now falls back to native audio automatically instead of stalling playback.
- Fixed: a failed track preload could keep retrying the same broken URL instead of reloading fresh.
Playlists & Library
- Shuffle now truly shuffles the entire playlist, including songs already played — not just what's left in the queue.
- Loop button in the collection header cycles through all three states (off, loop all, loop one) instead of getting stuck on.
- Hide (and unhide) any playlist from your library.
- Start a radio station from any track's right-click menu.
- Fixed: shared/collaborative playlists now show up in "Add to playlist".
Interface
- Loading skeletons on Home, Album, Artist and Playlist pages instead of a blank flash.
- Larger, clearer Home section headings.
- Fixed: Home carousel cards could overflow the row horizontally.
- Fixed: hovering the mini player could drift it left over time.
- Fixed: switching tabs could show the wrong scroll position.
- Fixed: closing the last music tab while Settings/Library/History/Browse was open could break every playback control until restart.
Fixes
- Launching Zuno while it's already running now refocuses the existing window instead of opening a second one.
- "More recommendations" count now matches "Listen again".
- Zuno now prefers the official audio track over a music video release of the same song.
