Me2Tune

English | 中文

Me2Tune is a macOS local music player. The official one just didn't feel right, so I made my own.

✨ Features

• Supports FLAC, MP3, AAC, ALAC, and other common audio formats
• GPU-accelerated half-disc rotation animation
• Mini floating player window
• Dedicated lyrics window with line-by-line highlight scrolling
• Playback statistics with charts
• Full macOS media key support and Now Playing integration
• Window-aware update throttling for reduced CPU overhead

💡 Tips

• Drag & drop: Both the song list and album list support manual reordering. You can drag audio files or albums into any part of the window to add them.
• Lyrics lookup order: Local .lrc file with matching name (e.g. a.lrc for a.mp3) → cached lyrics directory → LRCLIB API.
• Cover art lookup order: Memory cache → disk cache → embedded metadata → local image in the same directory (first supported image alphabetically, e.g. .jpg, .png).
• Window dragging: The window can be dragged from any area other than the Playlist and Collections.
• Database backup/restore: Located at ~/Library/Application Support/Me2Tune. I use PocketPrefs for backup and restore.

🖥 Requirements

• macOS 14.0+ (some features require macOS 15+)

📦 Installation

The app is signed with a free Apple Developer account, so you'll need to remove the Gatekeeper quarantine attribute after installation.

xattr -cr /Applications/Me2Tune.app
codesign -fs - /Applications/Me2Tune.app

🛠 Tech Stack

• Swift 6 + SwiftUI with strict concurrency
• SwiftData for persistence with schema migration support
• Observation framework (@Observable) instead of Combine
• Structured concurrency (async/await, TaskGroup)

🙏 Acknowledgements

This project is made possible by SFBAudioEngine for audio processing, and the generously open LRCLIB API for synchronized lyrics.
