Jellyx Player

Jellyx Player is an alpha-stage desktop background music player for people who work with music on. Built with Rust + Tauri v2 + Svelte, it plays YouTube, SoundCloud, and local files — audio only, no video. It includes queue/playlists/favorites/history, real-time visualizers, cinematic ambient mode, and v0.3.x mini-player skins.

Status: Alpha. Not a Spotify clone, DJ app, media center, or production-grade app. Expect rough edges.
