Summary

AudioTube is a rather snazzy client for YouTube music that doesn’t need a Google account to listen to music. And you don’t need to have an account on YouTube Music either.

AudioTube uses KDE Frameworks, xcb windowing system, Qt, and ytmusicapi (an unofficial API for YouTube music).

There’s some functionality that users would like adding such as the ability to download tracks and scrobbling support.
