CLUSTER MUSIC-STREAMING-CLIENT · 35 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2024-11-03

Desktop streaming music clients

This cluster comprises desktop applications that wrap or interface with online music streaming services, delivering native playback controls, theming, scrobbling, and sometimes downloads or radio features. Dated entries before the index start are sparse: one from 2011 and one from 2020, then a gradual increase from late 2024 through mid-2026, with the highest dated monthly count (3) in May 2026. Echo-Music leads traction with 905 stars, far ahead of 163help (16) and SoundWave-Desktop (2).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
