Elevate Your YouTube Music, Tidal & Apple Music Experience with Dynamic, Karaoke-Style Lyrics.

Streaming services offer great libraries, but their web interfaces so trash, with this extension, it replace streaming shitty lyrics player to Apple Music-like lyrics

• YouTube Music: Transforms the default static or plain text lyrics into a rich, timed, karaoke-style experience.
• Tidal Web (Experimental): While Tidal Web offers synced lyrics, they are limited to line-by-line synchronization. YouLy+ make them to word-by-word.
• Apple Music Web (Experimental): The native web player attempts word-by-word sync, but the implementation is flawed:
  • Precision Issues: Native AM Web uses setTimeout and their musickit uses timeupdate which is inaccurate, causing lyrics became offsync and hard to read.
  • Performance Hog: Heavy JavaScript-based animations spike CPU usage, causing lag on single-threaded or older devices.
  • Broken Layout: Frequent visual bugs occur with pronunciation guides and word breaks on syllable-synced song lmao.
  • Inferior Animation: The web animations feels so broken, idk how to tell it, but it's a pain.

YouLy+ trying to replaces these broken implementations with a lightweight, precise (idts), and visually faithful rendering engine.

YouLy+ is come with a features that designed to fix and enhance your lyrics experience:

• Advanced Synchronized Lyrics: Enjoy real-time, accurately synced lyrics with line-by-line highlighting. (cuz it uses apple ttml)
• Word-by-Word Highlighting:
  • YouTube Music: Adds syncing where none exists.
  • Tidal: Upgrades line-sync to word-sync.
  • Apple Music: Replaces the buggy native engine with a high-performance alternative.
• Apple Music Engine Overhaul: Replaces the resource-heavy native UI. YouLy+ solves the setTimeout drift issues and layout bugs while significantly lowering CPU usage. It also expands the lyric sources—if AM lacks synced lyrics, YouLy+ finds them elsewhere!
• Official Subtitle Fallback: Automatically uses official subtitles if synced lyrics aren't available.
• Multiple Providers: Choose where your lyrics come from! Works seamlessly across all three platforms.
• Native Integration: Replaces default lyrics panels with custom, interactive elements. Click-to-seek, scroll to find lines, and more!

• Instant Translation: Translate lyrics on the fly using Google Translate or the powerful Gemini AI (API Key required).
• Romanization: See lyrics written in the familiar English alphabet, even for languages that use different writing systems (like Japanese, Korean, or Russian).
• Full Gemini AI Control: For advanced users, connect your own Gemini AI account to customize translation instructions and AI settings.

• Dynamic Theming: Lyrics and backgrounds automatically adapt to the song's color palette.
• Visual Effects: Enable an Apple Music-style blur for inactive lines to improve focus.
• Custom CSS: Full control for web designers to inject custom CSS and style the lyrics exactly how they want.

• Optimized Renderer: Unlike the native Apple Music Web player, YouLy+ is designed to run smoothly on older hardware (e.g., dual-core CPUs) without freezing the browser.
• Performance Modes: Utilize Lightweight Mode or Compatibility Mode to ensure 60 FPS animations on any machine.
• SponsorBlock Integration: Automatically skip non-music segments like intros, outros, and sponsor messages (YouTube Music).
• Smart Caching: YouLy+ remembers lyrics it has found, reducing data usage and loading times.

The benchmark machine used to develop this project is older hardware (AMD FX-6300 + GT 620 from ~2012). YouLy+ is optimized to run where native web players fail.

GPU Performance (Targeting 60 FPS):

• 768p (1366x768): Stable 60 FPS on NVIDIA GT 620 (1GB) or equivalent integrated graphics.
• 1080p (1920x1080): GTX 650 / GT 1030 or above recommended for a locked 60 FPS.
  • Note: Legacy cards (GT 620) can still achieve 45-60 FPS at 1080p with minor jitter.
