We're excited to introduce the Desktop player, an enhanced and interactive player for Windows and macOS. In this guide, we'll walk you through the simple steps to download the player and start playing music.
💡 Please note that this player currently supports user login only, without the need for a pairing code. If you require the interface limitations that come with using a pairing code, please consider our other supported devices listed here, which are optimized for less local control.
