+## Features
+
+- **YouTube Music streaming** — search and stream tracks directly from YouTube Music via `yt-dlp` and `mpv`
+- **Vim-style keybinds** — navigate with `j`/`k`, enter commands with `:`, quit with `q`
+- **Queue management** — add, remove, reorder, and clear tracks in your queue
+- **Playlists** — save, load, append, and delete named playlists; import from YouTube/YouTube Music URLs
+- **Shuffle & repeat** — toggle shuffle and cycle through off / repeat-all / repeat-one modes
+- **Volume & seek control** — adjust volume and seek with configurable step sizes
+- **Session restore** — automatically restores your queue and playback position on next launch
+- **Artist search** — drill into an artist's discography from the results view
+- **Command palette** — full `:command` interface (`:search`, `:play`, `:volume`, `:seek`, `:save`, `:load`, `:import`, and more)
+- **Autoplay** — optionally keep playing through results when the queue ends
+- **TOML config** — persistent config at `~/.local/share/drift/config.toml`; comments are preserved across restarts
