MinmoTech / Electo

Audio player that lets you choose your streaming service

Electo music player

Note	This is a very ambitious project. It is currently just a draft of ideas which will hopefully incrementally come to reality. Some of these ideas might not be possible.

Electo is a (soon to be) music player, that aggragates multiple music services.
This means you can use one app to listen to all the different music services you want.
An example would be an artist posts an exclusive song to youtube and it is not available on spotify.
Using Electo you can put the spotify songs and the exclusive youtube song in one collected playlist and listen to it.

Goals

• Target multiple streaming platforms as music sources

• Cross platform: target Android, iOS, Linux, Windows and Mac (priority targets are Android and Linux)

• This should probably be doable with React Native - see Plexamp

• Multi-streaming-platform playlists (name suggestion: aggregations)

• Music video finding - via search or community databases (e.g. https://vocadb.net/)

• Download aggregations by default to prevent missing songs on video deletion

• Service migration - in case a song gets deleted on one service, you can migrate it

• Database of aggregations can be exported as a text file to sync between devices, additionally a paid backend service using cloud object storage?

• Song discovery is a low priority, maybe only within each individual service initially
