Headset

This project is currently not being actively maintained and is not accepting new pull requests or issues. Thank you for your understanding.

ATTENTION: Headset no longer uses a shared YouTube API Key. Please create your own key by Following this quick guide and make sure you are running the latest version.

Build Status

Headset is a simple music player for Mac, Windows and Linux with integrated YouTube search, a home screen with popularity list by genres and eras, and best of all, a radio powered by Reddit. Headset takes the songs that are shared in over 80 music subreddits, categorizes them and plays them automatically. It's a great and pretty unique way to find new music as it is chosen by other humans like you and not by algorithms.
