BlackBird is a sleek, modern, and locally-focused desktop media player built with Electron and Vite. It supports importing local music/video folders natively as well as integrating with YouTube to manage and play online media within the same beautiful interface.

Features

  • Smart Folder Import: Select any local directory, and BlackBird will recursively scan and extract ID3 tags, album art, and durations automatically.
  • YouTube Integration: Paste a YouTube link to instantly fetch its metadata (oEmbed) and append it to your library. Play the video directly within BlackBird via an embedded player overlay.
  • Automatic Metadata Extraction: Automatically parses local files to extract Title, Artist, Album, Duration, and Cover Art.
  • Smart Categories: Your media is organized intelligently into All Songs, Albums, Artists, and All Videos. Playlists: Create custom playlists, drag & drop your tracks into them seamlessly, and manage collections.
  • Deep Advanced Search: Find what you want lightning fast using the top search bar. Search filters comprehensively across titles, artists, albums, formats (Kind), and your custom descriptions concurrently.
  • Dynamic Theming System: Alter the entire look of the app interface on the fly. Import pre-configured or custom .json themes (like the Cyberpunk Theme) via the Theme Options modal in the sidebar.
