Everything you need.
Nothing shouting for attention.
PixelMusic brings a modern, expressive Android interface to a serious music player. Album art shapes the atmosphere, controls stay close, and the experience is built to feel native rather than decorated.
Bit-perfect playback with smart queue preloading.
Powered by AndroidX Media3 (ExoPlayer), with live itag bitrate resolution (160 kbps OPUS / 128 kbps AAC), dual-player architecture for instantaneous transitions, gapless playback, ReplayGain volume normalization, and built-in equalizer tuning.
Adaptive Monet colors derived from your artwork.
Dynamic color harmonization with your active wallpaper and album art, flowing ambient profile rings, fluid AGSL shader animations, AMOLED true black toggles, and customized wallpaper blurs.
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago
Lyrics that keep time down to the syllable.
Real-time scrolling lyrics with karaoke highlights, .lrc file embedding, smart title normalization to strip remix noise, and an AI-powered fallback engine to reconstruct lyrics when standard databases come up empty.
Offline storage, self-hosted servers, and direct web streaming.
PixelMusic brings three distinct listening sources together under one unified interface:

.lrclyrics via TagLib & JAudioTagger. - 2. Self-Hosted Cloud Libraries: Native Subsonic API compatibility (Navidrome, Gonic, Airsonic) and Jellyfin media server streaming with two-way scrobbling and remote playlist sync.
- 3. Direct Online Streaming: Direct GoogleVideo CDN streaming engine for YouTube & YouTube Music. Streams unencrypted Opus and AAC streams directly with zero tracking, no ads, and multi-account switching.
