Headset

This project is currently not being actively maintained and is not accepting new pull requests or issues. Thank you for your understanding.

ATTENTION: Headset no longer uses a shared YouTube API Key. Please create your own key by Following this quick guide and make sure you are running the latest version.

Headset is a simple music player for Mac, Windows and Linux with integrated YouTube search, a home screen with popularity list by genres and eras, and best of all, a radio powered by Reddit. Headset takes the songs that are shared in over 80 music subreddits, categorizes them and plays them automatically. It's a great and pretty unique way to find new music as it is chosen by other humans like you and not by algorithms.

Build from source

If you would like to create a build for a different environment (e.g Manjaro or Aur, etc.) please follow these steps:

1. Install NodeJs 8 or later

2. Clone the Repo

$ git clone https://github.com/headsetapp/headset-electron.git

3. Install dependencies

$ cd headset-electron
$ npm ci

4. Create your build:

electron-packager . \
  --executable-name headset \
  --ignore "(^/bin$|^/sig$|^/gh-pages$|^/player$|^/test$|Procfile|\.md$|^\.|^\/\.)" \
  --prune true \
  --out build/ \
  --overwrite \
  --asar \
  --platform=linux \
  --arch=x64

5. [Optional] For the Ubuntu build, we're using electron-installer-debian and for the Fedora build, we're using electron-installer-redhat. There might be an installer for your specific version, just have to google it.
