Question 1

How do I install YesPlayMusic on Linux?

Accepted Answer

You can download the Linux .deb package from the GitHub Releases page, or use the provided Electron build commands for ARM-based systems like Raspberry Pi. Alternatively, run it as a PWA in a supported browser.

Question 2

Does YesPlayMusic work without a NetEase account?

Accepted Answer

No, you need a NetEase Cloud Music account to log in via QR code, phone, or email to access your library, playlists, and personalized features. It acts as a client for that service only.

Question 3

YesPlayMusic vs official NetEase app: what's the difference?

Accepted Answer

YesPlayMusic offers an ad-free, social-feature-free interface with better customization and UnblockNeteaseMusic integration for restricted songs, but lacks official support, social features, and may have API instability compared to the official app.

Question 4

How to deploy YesPlayMusic on my own server?

Accepted Answer

Clone the repository, install dependencies with Yarn, set up the NeteaseCloudMusicApi backend, configure environment variables in a .env file, build the project, and serve the dist folder using a web server like Nginx. Detailed steps are in the README for Vercel, Docker, or manual setups.

Question 5

Can I use YesPlayMusic with YouTube Music or Spotify?

Accepted Answer

No, YesPlayMusic is exclusively designed for NetEase Cloud Music and does not support other streaming services. It's built around NetEase's API and catalog, so you'd need a different client for other platforms.

Question 6

Is YesPlayMusic safe for my NetEase account?

Accepted Answer

It uses official login methods, but as a third-party client, there's inherent risk; the project is open-source, allowing code inspection, but users should be cautious and avoid sharing sensitive credentials. No major security issues are reported, but it's unofficial.

Question 7

How to fix grayed-out songs in YesPlayMusic?

Accepted Answer

In the desktop app, enable the UnblockNeteaseMusic integration to automatically fetch alternative sources from providers like YouTube. For the web version, this feature is not supported, so you may need to use the desktop app or rely on NetEase's availability.
