Search and sources
Which legal sources Glyph searches, search tips, YouTube resolvers and artist pages.
Glyph only plays legal, free sources. A search asks all enabled sources at once and merges the answers into one list, ranked by what you listen to.
| Source | What you get |
|---|---|
| Audius, Jamendo, Internet Archive | full songs |
| Deezer | official 30-second previews and rich metadata (albums, artists) |
| YouTube | full songs through r-dlp or yt-dlp, or the embedded player |
| SoundCloud | the official embedded player |
Order and on/off switches are under Settings › Playback › Sources.
Tips
"quoted words"match exactly.- Results that only match a song's lyrics appear in their own section, marked In lyrics.
- Glyph waits until you stop typing before it searches, so typing fast does not send a request per key.
- Paste a playlist, album or profile link from Spotify, Deezer, SoundCloud, YouTube, Apple Music, Bandcamp or Last.fm to import it. See Transfer music.
YouTube
YouTube needs a resolver. Glyph includes r-dlp, its own fast resolver, and can also use yt-dlp if it is installed (Settings › Playback › YouTube extractor). Local resolves on your computer; Server lets your Glyph server (and its companion) do it. Use YouTube only never falls back to other sources or previews.
Artists and albums
Artist pages show popular songs, the full discography (albums, EPs and singles), similar artists and a verified badge next to verified names. Playing an artist adds the artist itself to Recently played.
