What is Luminous Music Player?

Luminous is a fast, local-first music player for people who own their music instead of renting it. A modern, beautifully designed interface for a decidedly old-school idea: your files, indexed and beautifully played.

Key features:

  • Smart auto-playlists — collections built automatically from your library by genre, decade, and other criteria
  • Custom themes — seven built-in palettes, a Dynamic Artwork mode that themes itself to whatever's playing, or build your own with a live theme editor
  • Metadata-driven organization — browse and curate your library using tags, with built-in tools to clean up and enrich metadata as you go
  • Fast scanning — indexes thousands of files (MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, Ogg Vorbis) in seconds and stays fast as your library grows
  • Instant search — jump to any track, album, or artist immediately
  • Dual equalizers — a 10-band EQ with genre presets for quick tuning, plus a 20-band parametric EQ when you want full control
  • Synced lyrics — scrolling, karaoke-style lyrics for tracks that have them
