Hey DT, please bring more these types of videos where you talk about such open source apps. I'm really into it also benefit from it. Much love always ❤️
For me the only problem is that the audio quality is worse than on spotify's free (with ads) version, but other than that it seems like a great product (bugs aside) an example download from nuclear was capped at ~16kHz and encoded at 64kbps
The flatpak version of Nuclear (haven't tried the other one) takes up 76% (!!) of my CPU (that's way more than any virtual machines would take up). Am I doing something wrong? Closing nuclear instantly makes my machine's fan turn more quietly.
This is exactly what I was looking for. If you install neither the appimage nor the flatpack and go with the file for your distro it is all working as expected, listening and downloading. (at least so far) fingers crossed.
You should make a video about Mopidy. It's a music server that is extensible with plugins and therefore lets you stream music from whatever provider you want. The plugin support is really good (beautifuls graphical frontends like Iris, streaming adapters to soundcloud, spotify, youtube, radio stations, local media, etc) It can also act as a mpd server and therefore also support all the existing mpd clients like mpc etc. It's honestly everything you would ever need for streaming audio.
on one hand, this is a very nice piece of software. on the other hand, artists barely get any money as it is from streaming, and this completely removes that from the equation. if you like a piece of music, at least try to support the people making it, especially if its from a less popular group/person
The idea sounds lovely on paper but unless you're the type of person that listen to a handful of songs or album it isn't feasible. I consume way too much music for me to pay and support every single artist I listen too. I wouldn't mind paying $20-30 a month to have a subscription service that actually pays artists fairly, but those services are few and far between.
Spotify pays musicians at most $.003 per stream and it's often only a fraction of that number due to record labels taking a huge cut. An artist will make far more if you buy a single Tshirt or see a show than if you spend years streaming them on Spotify.
This is super cool! Unfortunately, the audio quality is not great. For now, I will stick to Spotify premium, but will continue to keep an eye on this project.
Any additional info where from and what quality of music I'm downloading/listening to? Is it all 64kbps free Spotify, is it better, can I choose FLAC somwhere?
I was getting interested, until you mentioned it's an electron app.. It's not just that it's a whole browser for a music player, electron just gets fucky on dwm so I can't use it.
My guess would be to go to the latest release on their GitHub: github.com/nukeop/nuclear/releases/tag/v0.6.17 And then download the .exe file and try that on Windows.
Well i also recently made something very similar to this with electron sadly i was not able to remove the adds and it was very basic compared to this . Nice project
Just installed it on Win11, it adds random music into the Queue xD Also I quickly noticed, it does have sm content but not all of it, I don't think it actually has access to anything from Spotify, if you will search for podcasts even by copying the exact name it will not find anything, it seems to utilize well YT as a source but I'm not sure if anything more ;) It will randomly loose streaming source of music that has been already listened to :D its great idea, I hope it will actually become usable :)
Nice wallpaper you got there! This resurfaced a question I've had for a long time ....why does changing desktop background to a download wallpaper of mere 500kb increase ram usage by a whopping 300MB.
This is pretty cool. I tried it myself and it is a tad broken (given it's early), but this will be my endgame if it gets both Bit-perfect support for my DAC and Qobuz support.
Is there a way to import a spotify playlist? I got a playlist of about 500 of my favorite songs. Could just add it manually of course, but that is tedious to say the least.
A part the fact they use Pisa tower image under german music category... Does it work? One things it can be useful it is the fact you can find music that are outside spotify but it seems it takes ages to find them if not very popular and it can't find the more obscure songs.
"Why does vscode/atom need to be an electron app" Because they're targeting developers on all platforms, and there's not a lot of decent ways to make and then support something cross-platform without tripling the effort. I don't like electron and avoid it myself, but it's not hard to see why it's needed if you take a moment to think.
There are obviously many ways to target all three/four operating systems without tripling the efforts and mutialising many pieces of code, it's of course one of the reason but electron also happened to bring web development skills into desktop which is handy. That doesn't in any way means that there are no other ways to avoid tripling efforts, it doesn't take too much to understand that. We aren't even speaking about the tremendous funds Ms has for development. They've certainly spent much money optimizing Vscode to run decently fast than it would have taken to adopt the sublime text's or many other editors/IDEs way.
Nice, i was searching for something like this just yesterday, found blackhole, which is similar but it currently only available on android, with windows and linux in the pipeline
Just installed. Works fine with my local library. Searches and plays no problem. But online? KEK. It will search the song, find the song, but when you "play" You get 00:00. Infact, every song this thing finds, lists it with the same play time 00:00. Anyone got any tips?
Can you please teach how to install this?? Accessing github looks like a programmer thing - lots of complicated files, and i don't have any idea about what file i must donwnload. I want the version that allows to download music without errors. Can you link this file, please? I'm not a advanced user or programmer :(
Is there an audio player with audio control {for podcast and audiobook listening} ? So far I've been binding audio files to mpv but I can't get emacs to use it for that
It takes some setup, but you can use mpd, mpc, and ncmcpp. Mpd is the daemon actually playing the music in the background, mpc is the client that controls the daemon, and ncmcpp is a curses interface for mpc. You can also make keybinds to control mpc directly
The streaming services are doing so via HTTPS / TLS. I honestly don't believe they can stop Nuclear nor any other scraping grabber. If you can hit the service with curl then it can be scraped with JavaScript / Python, etc. So streaming / downloading is still going to be entirely possible. Unless they write Apps for all the major platforms and go with a proprietary streaming protocol with a custom secure API. They really can't stop it.
Now that's a fun software naming coincidence: Nuclear, Atom, Electron, Proton.
Neutron when?
Next comes the Boson. Bazinga!
Not a bad naming convention
Molecule when they decide to implement a better version of electron in atom
Combine Proton and Electron and get a distro called Hydrogen

Same, never know when those services like TH-cam, Spotify, etc. take down the music you want to listen to.
Spotify is great.
Hey DT, you're my hero. Thanks for sharing this amazing app!
I installed a flatpack version and it works great. Downloads work no problem. Cheers.
Love your singing at the end, DT!
I want more!
For me the only problem is that the audio quality is worse than on spotify's free (with ads) version, but other than that it seems like a great product (bugs aside)
an example download from nuclear was capped at ~16kHz and encoded at 64kbps
What are the bitrates on Spotify and Nuclear?
@@the-real-zpero Nuclear is 64kbps stereo, Spotify is 160kbps on free and 320kbps on premium. Nuclear just sounds kinda flat compared to others.
64? I'll bet that sounds awful. Reminds me of the Limewire and Napster days, free music but it sounded terrible 😂🤣😅
Was it opus though? 64k should be fine
the testimonials on their website is some of the funniest stuff ive seen in a while
It sucks that all this software is like a stupid house of cards. You never know when it will breaks down.
The Journey part at the end caught me off-guard! hahah. Nice.
great! i can finally have nuclear powered computer! 😀
Wow, could they not even handle this encoding?
7:30 have you tried changing some settings with flatseal to get it working?
Maybe it has trouble accessing the location it is trying to store the file?
This is great! Thanks for telling us about it DT!

install the non flatpak then and see if that works or install tlp

Thanks for the recommendation, think I'll try it out tonight
Is there a CLI equivalent?
Too fancy for me, QMMP is the only audio player I need for Linux ! (Winamp skin, of course)
QMMP! Is it made by Quinnware? That was always my favorite player on Windoze but they vanished.
I remember what The Linux Cast brought this up last year in one of his videos. It's great!

A very benign instance of the Nuclear Option. Interesting content.

cmus is fine when it doesnt teleport you to the beginning of the track when seeking
Auto track detection and saving links to them is the coolest thing about it
"Why does it look electrony?"
DT: "...we're dealing with an electron app here"
**groan**
I guess I'll check it out though.. lol
The end credits song was DA bomb :D
The first testimonial about it will most likely shut down soon kinda makes sense
DT becomes the opensourse rapgod by the end of every video.
The testimonials on their website are hilarious.
Where do you get your music though? I mean a specific song or an album, etc
Thanks for sharing this cool app. Please more of this stuff
Did you try fiddling around with Flatseal? Maybe the file permissions for the flatpak are not set correctly.
7:14 Did you check the flatpak permissions? 🤔 I'm not at my pc now, but maybe it doesn't have permission to access that dir
That's a common problem with Flatpack, many flatpak apps have this issue.
Creed, that was my first CD (My Own Prison) . Brings me back.
Any additional info where from and what quality of music I'm downloading/listening to? Is it all 64kbps free Spotify, is it better, can I choose FLAC somwhere?
Clementine and Tomohawk used to be so amazing for this kind of integration back in the day.
I was getting interested, until you mentioned it's an electron app..
It's not just that it's a whole browser for a music player, electron just gets fucky on dwm so I can't use it.
I too dislike electron. Its slow, big and eats ram like crazy and i don't have that much to spare. But i'll try it out. It maybe really cool
So does android apps
Spotify tends to be my streaming platform of choice, does Nuclear support it?
No.
For those of us who are not quite so tech-savvy, where can us Windows users find this?
My guess would be to go to the latest release on their GitHub:
github.com/nukeop/nuclear/releases/tag/v0.6.17
And then download the .exe file and try that on Windows.
Excelente video. Saludos desde Colombia
why did you never do a video on zorinos? it should be recommended as the first choice for beginners
Well i also recently made something very similar to this with electron sadly i was not able to remove the adds and it was very basic compared to this .
Nice project
You could try to contribute to the project if you like working on music software.
It's a great way to find new music.
I wouldn't use this for just listening to music though.
The audio quality is ass.
Hey DT how about making a video on Amarok, I've read you can sync it with your iPod?
Is this a better player than clementine?
Very helpful video thanks a lot

Depending on what you use, both gnome-shell and proprietary Nvidia drivers have/had a bug related to that.
As Olivia developer i can see lots of feature have been taken from Olivia :)
i think this is a good alternative to spotify
Is there an corresponding Andoid App available?
Going to give this a try
Remember Winamp? I loved Winamp.
This is pretty cool. I tried it myself and it is a tad broken (given it's early), but this will be my endgame if it gets both Bit-perfect support for my DAC and Qobuz support.
Hey DT, you forgot to mention the 'Visualizer' feature and it different options.

The Downloads is borked on flatpak probably because of permissions, if you use flatseal you may be able to correct that.
Can Nuclear sort local files by album?
The app doesn't load anything when I try to use it.
Thanks for sharing.
the flatpak probably needs file system access which can be provided by using flatseal
Testimonials on their website are 🔥🔥🔥
They are all bashing this software
there has already been a fix but aur hasn't been updated. There is a newer build if you read the bug.
Getting weird errors when I try to play anything... How to report errors/crashes?
