LastWave Desktop v1.0.0 — first release 🎉
A Fluent-design desktop music player: YouTube Music streaming, lossless audio,
Last.fm scrobbling, Apple-Music-style synced lyrics, and a personal feed that
works with or without an account.
Highlights
- Guest mode — skip Last.fm entirely; browse, stream, download, and get
recommendations. Connecting later is Settings-only. - Last.fm BYOK — bring your own API key + secret (no bundled keys);
validated before saving, web-auth connect on welcome and in Settings. - Local taste engine — keyless guests get real personalization from
on-device signals (play log, liked songs, downloads): Heavy Rotation,
Jump Back In, discovery, personal mix, and Mix Lab all work offline-first. - Lossless-first playback — addon/Qobuz-style FLAC up to 24/192 with
YouTube fallback, WASAPI exclusive + bit-perfect status on Windows,
ALSA path in progress on Linux. - Synced lyrics — LRCLIB + Apple word-by-word karaoke with per-track offset.
- Animated album art on Now Playing (fixed on Linux), official studio
covers, YTM thumbnail fallback so cards never show initials. - Desktop-native — close-to-tray, global hotkeys, Mica/haze materials
(solid mode keeps full lyric contrast), Discord Rich Presence on
Windows and Linux, downloads with .lrc sidecars.
Known limitations
- Bit-perfect output is Windows-only for now (WASAPI exclusive); Linux always
reports Shared mode honestly. - macOS build is unsigned;
