## 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 `~/.config/drift/config.toml` (your platform's config directory); drift never rewrites it, so comments are preserved

## Installation
|
|
|
|
### Arch Linux (AUR)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yay -S driftmusic-git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Any AUR helper works (`paru -S driftmusic-git`), or build it by hand:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/driftmusic-git.git
|
|
cd driftmusic-git
|
|
makepkg -si
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`mpv` and `yt-dlp` are installed automatically.
|
|
|
|
### Other distros
|
|
|
|
Install the dependencies:
|
|
|
|
- [mpv](https://mpv.io/) — audio playback
|
|
- [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) — YouTube stream extraction
|
|
- [Rust](https://rustup.rs/) (build only)
|
|
|
|
Then build from source:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/socatlolmeow/drift.git
|
|
cd drift
|
|
cargo build --release
|
|
sudo cp target/release/drift /usr/local/bin/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or install directly with cargo:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cargo install --path .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This installs `drift` to `~/.cargo/bin/`, which is on your `$PATH` if you installed Rust via [rustup](https://rustup.rs/).
