## What is this?
nuclear is a free music streaming program that pulls content from free sources all over the internet.If you know [mps-youtube](https://github.com/mps-youtube/mps-youtube), this is a similar music player but with a GUI.
It's also focusing more on audio. Imagine Spotify which you don't have to pay for and with a bigger library.## What if I am religiously opposed to Electron?
See [this](docs/electron.md).## Features
- Searching for and playing music from YouTube (including integration with playlists and [SponsorBlock](https://sponsor.ajay.app/)), Jamendo, Audius and SoundCloud
- Searching for albums (powered by Last.fm and Discogs), album view, automatic song lookup based on artist and track name (in progress, can be dodgy sometimes)
- Song queue, which can be exported as a playlist
- Loading saved playlists (stored in json files)
- Scrobbling to last.fm (along with updating the 'now playing' status)
