What is MUDE?
MUDE is a VS Code extension that brings music playback directly into your development environment. It uses MPV as the audio backend and integrates with YouTube Music to provide a seamless music experience while you code. The extension activates automatically when you start VS Code and provides a status bar interface for controlling playback. You can search for songs, create automatic playlists from recommendations, and control playback without ever leaving your editor.Key features
Ad-free music streaming
MUDE streams music from YouTube Music without ads or interruptions. Simply search for a song and start playing - no subscription or login required.Automatic playlists
When you play a song, MUDE automatically fetches recommendations and creates a playlist. When the current song ends, the next recommendation plays automatically, creating a continuous listening experience.Complete playback controls
MUDE provides all the controls you need:- Seek forward: Jump ahead 10 seconds
- Seek backward: Go back 10 seconds
- Play/Pause: Toggle playback
- Next track: Skip to the next song in the queue
- Previous track: Return to the previous song
Status bar integration
All playback controls are accessible from the VS Code status bar. See the current song title, playback status, and control buttons without opening any additional panels.How it works
MUDE usesnode-mpv to interface with the MPV media player for audio playback. It uses ytmusic-api to search YouTube Music and youtube-dl-exec to download audio streams. The extension stores downloaded tracks temporarily and manages automatic playback of recommendations.
When you search for music using the MUDE: Search Music command, the extension:
- Searches YouTube Music for your query
- Fetches recommendations for the selected track
- Downloads the audio stream
- Plays the track using MPV
- Automatically plays the next recommendation when the track ends
