Why YTAudioBar on Windows

YTAudioBar runs as a system tray app with full SMTC (System Media Transport Controls) support, so play, pause, skip, and previous all work from your keyboard media keys, the taskbar thumbnail, and the Windows lock screen — the same controls you’d get from Spotify or any native Windows media app. Installers are signed with SignPath Foundation, a free code-signing service for open-source projects.
