Choose your audio output device from within the playerДЄnd the latest version adds support for YouTube Music.

Minimize to task bar for background music playing.

Smooth scrolling and overlay scrollbars for a nicer User Experience.

Supports media keys (play, pause, stop, next, previous).

Naturally you do need a Google account to use the player (and have some tracks uploaded to your online library to use the Google Play Music side). ItвЂ™s fully customizable, supports last.fm scrobbling (always a win with me) and apparently features a built-in equalizerВ for fidelity fans to fine-tuneВ (though I havenвЂ™t found it). GPMDP also boasts of being more вЂњresource efficientвЂќ than running Google Play Music in a regular browser tab (though being an Electron app itвЂ™s not going to be super lightweight). So if you know of any promising new native desktop projects donвЂ™t be shy in letting me know about them so that I can write about something other than Electron apps.GPMDP hasВ had over 3 million downloads since launch My inbox is just as welcoming toВ non-Electron, non-music players. The nature of blogging is such that, as I write about one sort of app, so itВ motivates someone elseВ to emailВ me anotherВ other, similar app,В as is the case here. If trying new music players for Linux isnвЂ™t your thing, also cool. The followingВ notice willВ make zeroВ sense to youВ if youвЂ™re part of 75% who come across articles on this site organically and/or donвЂ™t read every article posted chronologically.ДЇor those about to moan, whinge or complain: if Electron apps arenвЂ™t your thing, that is totally cool.

You can download the latest release of Harmony for Ubuntu from the projectвЂ™s GitHub page:

Harmony also has a variety of simple shortcuts for controlling playback when the app is in focus: Native desktop notifications on track change.If you try it do share your thoughts/experiences in the comments. SoundCloud integration wasnвЂ™t playing nice for me when I tried Harmony - edit: this has now been fixed - and as I have 2-factor authentication set up on my Google account I was unable to try the Google Play Music integration. The actual music track will be streamed from YouTube (!).

Once you sign in with your Spotify account youвЂ™ll be able to search, filter and play tracks in your personal playlists, as well as those that you have favourited - but only the metadata will be fetched from Spotify.

Limitations of the Spotify API means that you donвЂ™t get to peruse the full catalog of songs. Harmony getsВ a choir of online music streaming services singing from the same lyrics sheet, integrated and accessible through one app - sort ofВ like Nuvola Player 3 for Ubuntu, but in a unified interface. IвЂ™m a вЂfunctionвЂ™ guy, and can easily look pastВ the cloyingly Apple aesthetic.ДЇor the rest of us itвЂ™s a decent stab at creating a cross-platform music player thatвЂ™s open-source and integrates with a number of online streaming services. If theВ fact that itвЂ™s built using the Electron development framework doesnвЂ™t put some of you off then the fact itвЂ™s keenly inspired by the look and layout of iTunes just might!
