Sources

• YouTube — audio stream playback (no video).
• SoundCloud — audio stream playback.
• Local files — decoded locally via Symphonia.

External sources may enforce their own rate limits or ToS. Jellyx does not bypass them and adds no tracking of its own. See Privacy and License.

Playback and library

• Queue — session queue with reorder/remove.
• Playlists — named collections you manage.
• Favorites — quick-save tracks.
• History — recently played tracks.

Visual

• Real-time visualizers — driven by FFT on the PCM bus.
• Cinematic ambient mode — full-screen ambient visuals with configurable intensity.
• Mini-player skins — v0.3.x skin selection and scale control.

Settings (in-app)

See User Guide → Settings for the full list. Highlights:

• Source toggles for configurable remote sources (enable/disable YouTube, SoundCloud). Local library/folder support is always available and is not presented as the same toggle.
• Normalize audio
• Mini-player skin and scale
• Cinematic mode and intensity
• Linux: hide title bar
• Language (EN/ES)
• About: version and repo links

Non-goals (explicit)

Jellyx is not:

• A Spotify clone or streaming-account app
• A DJ or mixing tool
• A media center or video player
• A production-grade app (alpha quality)
