DYSC is a collection-centric music player for the music on your own Jellyfin, Navidrome or Plex servers. Instead of turning your collection into another endless streaming feed, it puts albums first, recreating the feeling of owned physical media. 1. YOUR COLLECTION Browse your library as a tactile stack of albums. Sort by artist, title, release date or recently added. Search across albums, artists and tracks, then jump straight back into the collection. 2. DISCOVER YOUR MUSIC AND FIND THE ONES YOU'VE MISSED BEFORE Album of the Day gives you one album to listen each day, with an a widget support and an optional notification. Recommendations and always streaming Radio stations help surface music you don't even know you had. 3. A PLAYER YOU CAN SCRATCH DYSC supports (and endorses) custom disc arts on your library. Shows if there is one on album view and let's that take the whole scene on the custom designed player. Hold the disc to pause, drag it for a quick reversal, or enable DJ Mode and try some scratching yourself. Haptics make the controls feel physical. 4. WTF IS A PLAYLIST, YOU MEAN MIXTAPES? Sometimes an album doesn't cut it, and that's why we've had mixtapes. Create, edit and reorder your Mixtapes. Add a track or a full album, choose a custom cover, colour and font for it and keep your favourite mix of music ready to play. 5. TUNE-IN TO YOUR OWN RADIO DYSC builds stations from the most populated genres and decades in your library. You can also create a station from a song or album, assign it a frequency and tune in to see new suggested music based on those everyday. Hop in and out anytime you want, but do you want to hear that music again? Too bad, you can't control it, it's called radio for a reason!
