### Feature Guide
Stable Search System
- The stable page uses high-quality APIs for searching audio and video.
- To control costs and quotas, this page is limited to one search per hour.
- For unlimited discovery, switch to the secondary search server via the top-right button.
-
Direct Import: Paste a direct URL from supported platforms into the input field to fetch and add tracks instantly.
Get Popular Songs (Trending)
- Discover what the world is listening to by clicking the Refresh icon on the top right corner.
- This feature fetches the currently most-listened music and trending tracks directly from global sources.
-
Limit: Refreshing is limited to once every 10 minutes to ensure stability and up-to-date results.
- Instantly play or add these popular hits to your local playlists with one tap.
Secondary Search Server
- A free, Python-powered backend for unlimited searches by song or artist name.
-
Self-Waking Server: If it shows "Offline," simply search and wait 30-40 seconds. The server wakes up automatically to save costs.
- If traffic is extremely high, please switch back to the Stable Search page.
Anti-Abuse Verification
- To keep the service free and prevent bot abuse, a quick math question may appear before processing a search.
- Once verified, you can add music directly to your local playlists.
Listening History
- Every song you play automatically appears on your History Page for quick access.
- Users can directly replay music or view details of past tracks without searching again.
-
Privacy Controls: In the settings, you can delete specific entries, clear your entire history, or pause history tracking completely.
- Like all other data, your history is stored 100% locally on your device.
Smart Playlists
- Add tracks with a single tap using the + icon on search results or the player screen.
- Everything is stored via IndexedDB on your device for total privacy.
- Includes Shuffle, Repeat, and standard loop modes.
Data Portability (Sharing)
- Share playlists by exporting them as JSON strings or .txt files.
- To import, simply paste the code or upload the file into a new playlist.
- This allows you to move your library across devices without a cloud account.
Shared Listening Rooms
- Create or join a room using a short code to listen with friends in real-time.
- A live activity log shows exactly what’s happening (joins, plays, pauses).
- Synced playback ensures everyone hears the same beat at the same time.
Room Features
-
Inbuilt Chat: Communicate with room members without leaving the app.
-
Queue Control: Anyone can add URLs to the shared queue.
-
No Limits: No cap on members or the number of songs queued.
-
Clean Exit: Use the delete button to close rooms when finished.
Deep Personal Analytics
-
Insightful Stats: Tracks Total Plays (with 30s cooldown for accuracy), Active Days, and Joining Date.
-
Visual Habits: Interactive line graphs and yearly heatmaps showing your listening frequency.
-
Top Content: Automated ranking of your Top 10 tracks and artists based on local history.
Secure Analytics Export
- Export your entire history as an encrypted string to prevent data tampering.
- Moving to a new phone? Just import your backup file to restore your heatmaps and play counts.
