Questions
Windows FAQ
Is there a free music player for Windows 10 and 11?
Yes. Fox Music is free, has no ads and needs no account. It plays your own song files and public YouTube content on Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit).
Do I have to install yt-dlp myself?
No. The installer carries yt-dlp, sets it up on the first start and checks for a newer one once a day.
Windows shows a SmartScreen warning. Is it safe?
The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows shows a notice once. Click More info, then Run anyway. The SHA-256 on the download card lets you check the file.
Does the music keep playing when I close the window?
Yes. Closing the window hides Fox Music to the tray and the music keeps playing. Use the tray menu for play, next and previous. You can switch this off in the tray menu.
