🎵 Yandex.Music Desktop (port of website)
Please note: this is only webview port of Yandex.Music website as desktop app!
### Looking for a similar desktop app for Yandex.Radio?
- 📻 [Yandex.Radio Desktop](https://github.com/koddr/yandex-radio-desktop) app
## 💭 The Why?
I love listen music 🥰 and always want to do it as easy as possible. Concept of Yandex.Music service (web for desktop clients and app for mobile) are great, **but not so really**.
- **First** (and most important): I would like to always keep application music app _on hand_ while working at Mac/MacBook. Quickly click on the icon in macOS dock, open app, switch to another song and collapse again. At the same time, without opening a browser and not looking for the desired tab with Yandex.Music.
- **Second** (and important too): my smartphone is _always busy_ with other applications that use headphones with mic, like Skype, Zoom, Discord, mobile calls and so on. In order not to run into browser, look for a tab and pause music. Just took off these headphones and put on others!
- **Third** (and no less important): as an active macOS user, I got used to _native desktop apps_ for listening music (for example, built-in Apple iTunes) and place it on side-mode with another apps (like Telegram) on a separate workspace.
Therefore, I was very upset that _Yandex.Music_ does not have a macOS (or Windows/Linux) desktop application... and created this port of the official Yandex.Music website! 😉
## 🔗 [Download](https://github.com/koddr/yandex-music-desktop/releases) latest version:
- [Apple macOS 10.11+ x64](https://github.com/koddr/yandex-music-desktop/releases/download/0.3.0/yamusic_desktop-macosx-amd64.dmg) (`.dmg`, 2.39 MB)
- [GNU/Linux x64](https://github.com/koddr/yandex-music-desktop/releases/download/0.3.0/yamusic_desktop-linux-amd64.tar.gz) (`.tar.gz`, 1.7 MB)
- [Microsoft Windows 10 x64](https://github.com/koddr/yandex-music-desktop/releases/download/0.3.0/yamusic_desktop-windows-10-amd64.zip) (`.zip`, 2.11 MB)
## ⚙️ Under the hood
Since this is an open source project, you can easily see how it all **actually works**. The code is written with Go (Golang) `1.11.x` and using `Go Modules`.
Yandex.Music Desktop source code
```go
package main
import "github.com/zserge/webview"
func main() {
// URL params
p := "origin=music_button-header&retpath=https%3A%2F%2Fmusic.yandex.com%2Fhome"
// Init app
w := webview.New(false)
defer w.Destroy()
// Settings
w.SetTitle("Yandex.Music Desktop")
w.SetSize(800, 960, webview.HintNone)
w.Navigate("https://passport.yandex.com/auth?" + p)
// Run app
w.Run()
}
```
But all magic is done by absolutely awesome [webview](https://github.com/zserge/webview) module by [Serge Zaitsev](https://github.com/zserge).
More about webview module
A tiny cross-platform webview library for C/C++/Golang to build modern cross-platform GUIs. Also, there are Rust bindings, Python bindings, Nim bindings, Haskell and C# bindings available.
It supports two-way JavaScript bindings (to call JavaScript from C/C++/Go and to call C/C++/Go from JavaScript).
It uses Cocoa/WebKit on macOS, gtk-webkit2 on Linux and MSHTML (IE10/11) on Windows.
Installation `.dmg` images for macOS was created by [node-appdmg](https://github.com/LinusU/node-appdmg) (many thx to [Linus Unnebäck](https://github.com/LinusU)).
MS Windows 10 version available thanks to [xgo](https://github.com/karalabe/xgo) (Go CGO cross compiler by [Péter Szilágyi](https://github.com/karalabe)).
GNU/Linux version compiled and tested at Arch Linux (Manjaro 20).

### For Windows 10 users, who removed Microsoft Edge browser
Yandex.Music Desktop app running from default OS webview layer, if you removed Edge browser — webview layer is Internet Explorer 11 (not Google Chrome/FireFox/Opera/etc., because it's third-party software for Windows!).
I check it from my test-stand with Windows 10 Pro x64 (version 1903, OS build 18362.535)
On screen (from left to right): _Yandex.Music Desktop app, Internet Explorer 11, MS Edge 18:_
> And, I thought, web site Yandex.Music not working in Internet Explorer 11 without Flash player (see [this](https://yandex.ru/support/music/troubleshooting/player.html?lang=en)), who not installed by default with system.
