Your music.
Your universe.

VELORA plays the music you already own — from your drives, from an audio CD, or from free internet radio. It runs on your machine, keeps everything there, and never asks you to sign in.

Everything in one place

A library that behaves itself

Point VELORA at your folders. It reads the tags and the cover art, watches for changes, and gets out of the way.

Your whole library

Songs, albums, artists, genres, folders and playlists, with instant search across all of them — and a Today list that clears itself overnight.

Sound you control

A ten-band equaliser, preamp, ReplayGain, a live volume leveller that evens out loud and quiet radio stations, your choice of output device, and a Direct mode that bypasses all of it.

Crossfade & gapless

Songs overlap by as much as you like; album tracks run straight into each other.

Audio CDs

Play a disc at full CD quality, read straight from the drive and named by its own fingerprint.

Sleep timer

Pauses the music after 15 to 90 minutes, so falling asleep to a record costs nothing.

Twenty-three decks

Machines that actually move

Tape winds between the spools at the speed a real transport would. The record turns at 33⅓ rpm, the jog wheel on the DJ deck scrubs the track as you turn it, and the VU needles use proper meter ballistics. Every button on a deck works — none of it is a picture.

  • Long song names scroll across the displays, as they do on real hardware
  • Seven colour themes, and an accent that can follow the album art

VELORA's radio page with a vintage tuner and station list

Free internet radio

A tuner, not a list of links

Thousands of stations from the community-run Radio Browser directory, opening on your own country. VELORA reads the song on air from the stream itself and looks up the release and its cover when it can.

  • Five receivers: vintage tuner, wood cabinet, LED deck, pocket set, car radio
  • Opens on stations from your own country — or the one you set in your profile
  • Receiver, genre and country are dropdowns; only the station list scrolls
  • A volume leveller evens out loud and quiet stations
  • Save the stations you keep coming back to

One player, three screens

Same library, wherever you are

The same decks, the same settings — sized for whatever you are using.

Windows

Folder indexing, audio CDs, keyboard shortcuts, media keys, and three ways to shrink it: a slim strip, a card with lyrics and what's next, or a mini player that stays on top.

Android

Plays the music already on your phone in the background, with lock-screen controls, a mini player that swipes up into Now Playing, and a gallery of 29 skins.

Android TV

A ten-foot layout you drive with the remote, with focus you can see from the sofa.

Windows installer · coming soon v1.1.0 · 64-bit · 95 MB · Windows 10 and later

Android

VELORA Mobile 2.0: a new home screen, a skin gallery with 29 skins, and the music Android has already indexed, with lock-screen controls and background playback.

Android APK · coming soon v2.0 · Android 5.1 and later · 6.2 MB

Android TV

The TV build lays itself out for the ten-foot view and is driven by the remote, with focus you can see from the sofa.

Android TV APK · coming soon Sideload with adb install, or a file manager

The Android builds are signed with a local debug key, so Android will ask you to allow installs from the app you open it with. Prefer to build it yourself? The source is a npm install && npm run package away.

What's new

Built from how people actually listen

The latest release: VELORA 1.1 on Windows and VELORA Mobile 2.0 on Android.

The new VELORA Mobile home screen The skin gallery in VELORA Mobile The radio tuner in VELORA Mobile

  • A ten-band equalizer with presets, preamp, crossfade and gapless playback on the phone

Mini player & card player

One tap shrinks VELORA to a small square with just what you need — cover, play, skip, the position, shuffle and repeat — and one more takes you back. The card view adds the song's lyrics, following along line by line, and what's playing next.

Volume leveller

Radio stations are mastered at wildly different levels. The leveller measures each one over a few seconds and brings them all to the same loudness, with a limiter so nothing clips — for radio only, or for everything.

Your profile

Your name, country and city in one place — radio opens on your stations, the weather on your city.

Six new decks

A double cassette deck, two reel machines, a field recorder, a disc vault and a vinyl pocket card.

Made for the phone

Decks and receivers drawn for the phone, with big knobs and keys a thumb can work.

Local first

Honest about what it does

Your library, play history, playlists and settings live in one folder on your own machine. Nothing about what you listen to is ever sent anywhere. The only features that use the network are radio and song lookup, and a single switch turns both off.

  • No account, no sync, no telemetry
  • Your files are never moved, changed or deleted
  • Every control does something — nothing is there for decoration

What VELORA will not do

It cannot play Spotify, Apple Music or other subscription catalogues: those services do not license third-party playback and their audio is protected. VELORA plays files you own and free internet radio — and says so rather than pretending otherwise.

Questions

Before you download

Does it cost anything, or need an account?

No to both. There is no sign-up, no subscription and no account to make.

Will it move or change my music files?

Never. VELORA reads the folders you point it at. Editing tags changes its own database, not your files, and removing a folder removes index entries only.

What formats does it play?

FLAC, MP3, WAV, OGG, Opus, AAC and M4A, plus audio CDs on Windows. ALAC, DSD, WMA and APE are indexed with their tags but cannot be decoded, and VELORA says so rather than failing quietly.

Can it play Spotify or Apple Music?

No. Those services do not license third-party playback and their audio is protected. VELORA plays files you own and free internet radio.

Does anything leave my machine?

Only radio lookups and the song titles radio stations broadcast, and only while online services are on. Nothing about your library is ever sent anywhere.

Bring your own music.

Install it, point it at a folder, and listen. Nothing to sign up for.
