HTMLPlayer

HTMLPlayer is a local-first audio player for the browser and, through Tauri, for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Version 1 was a single HTML file. Version 2 is a rewrite in React, TypeScript, Vite, and Zustand. The library lives in OPFS, so playback does not need a server.

#Features

• Import with drag and drop, the file picker, a directory picker, the OS share sheet, or Web Share Target.
• Playlists and folders, with drag-and-drop reordering and bulk select.
• Metadata details: codec, bitrate, sample rate, channels, bit depth, container, profile, and gapless offsets.
• Lyrics drawer that prefers embedded lyrics and falls back to lyrics.ovh.
• Crossfade, optional gapless playback, smart shuffle, and preloading of the next track.
• 60+ visualizers and a Document Picture-in-Picture mini player.
• Themes, icon sets, wallpapers, editable keyboard shortcuts, and light, dark, or auto mode.
• English and French translations.

#Build

• Web: run npm install then npm run dev:web or npm run build:web inside Build/.
• Desktop: npm run build:desktop with Tauri. Rust stable is required.
• Node.js 18+ and npm 9+.

Development happens on the v2.0.0 branch. The main branch is behind.
