Shopper questions
Is an account required?
No. Nuvo has no account system and no server. Signing in to YouTube is optional and only helps with blocked streams and your YouTube playlists.
Where does the music come from?
From YouTube Music and SoundCloud for streaming, and from folders of your own files. Nuvo does not host music. Those services can change or block access, and using them is your responsibility under their terms.
Can I use it without internet?
Cached tracks and local files play without a connection. Keep offline saves a whole playlist ahead of time, and Offline mode stops all network use. Lyrics, search and new tracks need the network.
Is it free?
Yes. Nuvo is licensed under the AGPL-3.0-or-later. You can use, change and share it. A modified version you distribute or run as a service must share its source under the same licence.
