A SoundCloud-first Android player with guest mode, YouTube fallback, local files, offline downloads, lyrics, widgets, and a lot of real extras.
KittyTune is an open-source Android music player built around SoundCloud, with optional login, a real guest mode, and a YouTube search / stream fallback for tracks that are restricted, missing, or annoying to access normally.
It also pulls in the things a lot of music apps either skip or hide behind rough UX: offline downloads, local folder scanning, lyrics, audio effects, Discord Rich Presence, widgets, listening stats, achievements, and Android Auto support.
~ discovery & sources
- SoundCloud-first discovery with home feed, stream, charts, moods, genres, tags, albums, and radio/station flows.
- Search tracks, artists, playlists, and albums from SoundCloud.
- Switch search source to YouTube when you want direct video/audio results instead.
- Paste SoundCloud or YouTube links directly into search and jump to the right track, playlist, profile, or station.
- Guest mode works without connecting a SoundCloud account.
> library & offline
- Keep liked tracks, liked playlists, saved artists, local playlists, and downloads in one library.
- Download single tracks or full playlists for offline playback.
- Choose a custom download location and keep tagged files with embedded artwork when possible.
- Import local music folders and scan subfolders recursively.
- Supports local audio formats including MP3, FLAC, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, WMA, OPUS, AMR, and MP4 audio.
- Backup and restore playlists, favorites, history, stats, achievements, and app settings.
+ player & lyrics
- Background playback with notification controls, media buttons, and persistent queue restore.
- Autoplay radio, shuffle / repeat, stream quality selection, and precise speed control.
- Sleep timer with custom duration, end-of-track mode, and optional progressive fade-out.
- Synced or plain lyrics with fullscreen view, inline player mode, manual search, and copy support.
- Local lyrics support for files that already contain embedded lyrics.
- YouTube fallback for restricted SoundCloud tracks when enabled in settings.
# audio & widgets
