📖 What is Pixel Music?

Pixel Music is a unified, privacy-first audio powerhouse for Android. It bridges your local offline library, streaming catalogs, and cloud sources under a single, gorgeous interface.

  • Local Library: Scan and play high-resolution files like FLAC, ALAC, WAV, APE, OPUS, OGG, and MP3.
  • YouTube Music Streaming: Stream the entire catalog without advertisements. Sign in securely to sync liked tracks, playlists, and subscribed artists.
  • Telegram Integration: Connect your Telegram account to stream audio directly from channels, chats, and saved messages.
  • Google Drive: Stream your personal cloud library directly from remote drives.
  • Deezer Artist Artwork: High-definition artist covers and backdrop artwork automatically cataloged.

The interface adapts dynamically to your album artwork colors using Material You, and is packed with advanced playback features, lyrics, and cross-device connectivity.
