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.
