Lumen 0.2.0 adds Sonora's streaming engines to the existing native player. Select Settings > Storage > Music providers, choose YouTube Music, and click Use guest playback to stream without waiting for a permanent download.
- YouTube Music guest playback and optional account sign-in.
- Deezer and Apple Music connections for accounts entitled to play the requested audio.
- Subsonic/Navidrome server connection and song import.
- Provider catalogue search and recording matching for imported Spotify songs.
- Existing saved files still play locally first. The separate download mode remains available for permanent offline files.
- Provider sign-in and browser attestation use a disposable helper process. Credentials remain local.
- Combined releases now use GPL-3.0-or-later. Original MIT and component notices are preserved. The matching source archive includes locked Rust dependency sources and offline build instructions.
Spotify streaming still requires Premium. Apple Music requires a compatible Widevine module, installed separately after reviewing and accepting its terms; the module is not bundled. These providers do not unlock subscriptions, and their streams are not exported as permanent downloads.
Validation: strict Windows/Linux lint checks and regular tests; live YouTube Music guest catalogue and muted audio-output checks on Windows; extracted corresponding-source dependencies resolve offline with an empty Cargo cache. Deezer/Apple Music/private-server playback still requires testing with authorized accounts.
Windows: use the setup installer. Linux Mint, Fedora, Arch and gaming desktops: use Flatpak; Ubuntu 24.04+ also supports the Debian package. Existing Lumen installations can use Settings > Updates.
