Just a couple nice looking buttons. * Queue management: delete and reorder tracks in the queue. * Mini-player mode: Minimize Musicly to a small window and keep working. * Edit album and track metadata: Changes are saved to files if they are in mp3 format. * Covers: It is annoying when you can't see your covers. Therefore, covers are first-class citizens in Musicly. * Dark theme & Custom CSS: Are you an obscure hacker, typing 0s and 1s in a monochrome display? We've got something for you! * Inactivity mode: Musicly detects when you are inactive and displays the album's cover and track info. If you want to help out, I'd love to have someone sharing their knowledge with me. I'm fairly new to React, Electron and even programming itself. All help and tips are welcome! Take a look at Musicly's developer documentation (). ### Package name * musicly --- ### License * MIT --- ### Last updated * 20 August 2025 - latest/stable --- ### Websites * [m7kra.github.io](http://m7kra.github.io/ "http://m7kra.github.io/") --- ### Contact * [luiswbarbosa@gmail.com](mailto:luiswbarbosa@gmail.com "mailto:luiswbarbosa@gmail.com") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/musicly/arch#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install Musicly Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install Musicly To install Musicly, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install musicly ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
