AGPL-licensed. Gets music from YouTube, Soundcloud, and Bandcamp but does not run any non-free JS. It's still in an early stage, with some yet-to-be-implemented features and bugs to navigate around, but it is usable.
Thanks for sharing.
> What about the JavaScript?
Dev seems steadfast against proprietary JS.

> Does it use Electron?
Hm. Looks like it does. Are you of the opinion that Electron is non-free? I have tried to understand that issue and found various threads about it, but none that end in consensus, so I'm unclear on whether Electron (a) is free, (b) has non-fatal freedom issues, or (c) has fatal freedom issues. Hopefully it's (a) or (b). I've seen a lot of promising projects lately that use Electron, so I hope that at the very least a freed version can be developed and used as a drop-in replacement.
I am a translator!
Aside from freedom issues, running Electron is similar to running a full session of Chromium which uses lots of computer resources. If you want to download files independently from the browser (or on a device incapable of running a modern browser) using considerably less resources you are better off using the command line programmes such as youtube-dl/hypervideo, plowshare, pyLoad etc.
This is very intriguing, thanks chaosmonk! It's pre-alpha, so it crashes frequently. When you can get it to work though, it is an extremely good-looking program, and does find an extremely wide variety of music. Very nice find, I hope the developer keeps working at it.
