Open source, cross-platform, unofficial YouTube Music Desktop App with built-in ad blocker and downloader. Native look & feel, aims at keeping the original interface. Framework for custom plugins: change YouTube Music to your needs (style, content, features), enable/disable plugins in one click. Install the youtube-music-bin package from the AUR. For AUR installation instructions, take a look at the wiki page. Block all ads and tracking out of the box. Apply compression to audio (lowers the volume of the loudest parts of the signal and raises the volume of the softest parts) Next/Back navigation arrows directly integrated in the interface, like in your favorite browser. Allows setting global hotkeys for playback (play/pause/next/previous) + disable media osd by overriding media keys + enable Ctrl/CMD + F to search + enable Linux mpris support for media keys + custom hotkeys for advanced users.

(Windows version) - Interface is intuitive and has a lot of options. Downloading option was active but there was no clear directions on how to activate it? Had to refer to github and look through documentation to find its in the vertical 3-dot menu. However, even though it said it was active, it did not appear until I reloaded the application. The 'Play Next' and "Start Radio' are great options for music control. The plugin options are plentiful and offer a plethora of additional features.
