---

🌃 Features

• ⬇️ Downloadable tracks
• 🖥️ 📱 Cross-platform support

• 🕵️ Anonymous/guest login
• 🕒 Time synced lyrics
• ✋ No telemetry, diagnostics or user data collection

¹ It is still recommended to support the creators by watching/liking/subscribing to the artists' YouTube channels or liking their tracks on Spotify (or purchasing a Spotify Premium subscription too).
