![]() The fact that it uses YouTube is actually an incredibly good idea. There are some restrictions if you use it without paying, like the number of songs in the playlist (just 50), but it shouldn't be an inconvenient if you just want to test it. The application doesn't have any weird dependencies, so pretty much anyone can use it. The only reason might be that the developer knows what he has and that there isn't any real competition in this niche. It's worth mentioning that MusicTube is a commercial application, and it costs €9, but it might be different depending on your location. From what I can tell, only Ubuntu or Debian system are supported, and only DEB files are provided, but it doesn't mean that you won't find it in your local repositories. I installed MusicTube in Ubuntu 15.04, and you can find the DEB files on the official website or on Softpedia. MusicTube can also be categorized as a cloud player, but it has only one source for the music, the YouTube platform. Tomahawk is a good example and it's defined as a cloud player. There is also another type of music players that have started to show up in the past couple of years and that play music exclusively from online sources. Everything can usually be found under the same roof, and lots of applications are capable of performing these tasks. You can usually listen to locally hosted music, online radios, or online music platforms, like Spotify for example. Music players are a dime a dozen on the Linux platform, and many of them support online sources. It's not made for locally hosted music, and you can't add other online sources, but YouTube is a huge resource. MusicTube is a very interesting music player designed for multiple platforms using YouTube as the music source.
