💻 PC & Downloads
Where can I download the official MUZI Android app?

Why is the APK hosted on GitHub instead of Google Play Store?

🎧 Audio & Lyrics
Which audio codecs and file formats are supported?
MUZI supports both studio-grade lossless formats (FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF up to 24-bit/192kHz) and high-efficiency compressed formats (MP3 at 320kbps, AAC, OGG Vorbis, and Opus) with automatic hardware-accelerated decoding.
How do real-time synchronized lyrics work?
When playing any song, tap or swipe up on the player screen to reveal karaoke-style synchronized lyrics. The text highlights dynamically in sync with the vocals. Tapping any line of the lyric immediately seeks audio playback to that exact verse.
Are lyrics available in multiple languages?
Yes! MUZI automatically fetches synced lyrics across regional and international languages including Hindi, Punjabi, Bhojpuri, Haryanvi, English, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, and more.
Does MUZI feature an audio equalizer?
Yes, MUZI includes an integrated graphic equalizer with bass boost, vocal clarity filters, acoustic staging enhancements, and pre-tuned presets for different musical genres and headphone types.
💾 Offline Crates
What are Offline Crates?
Offline Crates are MUZI's built-in local caching system that stores audio files directly onto your device's internal storage or SD card. Once saved to a crate, tracks play instantly offline without requiring any cellular data or Wi-Fi connection.
Do downloaded offline songs expire or require periodic check-ins?
Never. Commercial streaming services revoke downloads if you do not connect online every 30 days. In MUZI, your downloaded music has no DRM locks, never expires, and remains permanently playable on your device.
Can MUZI play local songs already stored in my phone's storage?
Yes! MUZI automatically scans and indexes existing audio files from your device folders and SD card, organizing them by Artist, Album, and Folder with full embedded tag and album artwork support.
🔒 Privacy & Security
Does MUZI track my listening habits or collect analytics?
Zero tracking. MUZI adheres to strict Zero Telemetry principles. No listening history, search terms, device identifiers, or IP addresses are logged, monitored, or transmitted to any server. Read our full Privacy Policy.
Do I need an account or email to use MUZI?
No account, phone number, or email is required. You simply install the application and enjoy your music immediately with total anonymity.
How can I review the source code or report a bug?
The entire source code is openly hosted on GitHub. Anyone can review the code, file bug reports on GitHub Issues, suggest enhancements, or contribute pull requests.
