Muse

Muse is XiaDown’s YouTube Music mode. It turns XiaDown into a desktop YouTube Music client with extra player features.

  • Browse Home, Explore, Charts, History, and Search.
  • Play songs, albums, playlists, artists, and recommendations.
  • Use liked music, followed artists, and library content after sign-in.
  • Switch between audio and video playback when available.
  • Download a track you want to keep or use in a creator workflow.
  • Use lyrics, queue, equalizer, visualization, romanized lyrics, and pinyin lyrics through the shared player.
  1. Open Listen and choose Muse.
  2. Click the sign-in action when XiaDown asks for an account.
  3. Complete YouTube sign-in in the App Session browser.
  4. Return to Muse and refresh if needed.

The session is stored locally in App Sessions. If the account expires, Muse asks you to sign in again or go to App Sessions.
