Small Server • Invite Only

Stream Everything. Together.

Toca Tudo is a free, open-source music player. We integrate Spotify, Last.fm, Vagalume, and YouTube to deliver a seamless experience, hosted entirely on a small, community-driven server.

How It Works

Core Features

Free & Community-Focused

100% free to use. Supported by a small, dedicated server and limited to a community by invitation.

Metadata, Lyrics & Scrobbles

Leverage Spotify, Last.fm, and Vagalume APIs for rich track info, lyrics, and scrobbling.

YouTube Audio Source

Play the audio directly from YouTube content, ensuring a wide and always up-to-date library.

Car Integration

Connects via Bluetooth to your car, allowing control via steering wheel buttons.

Under the Hood: The Audio Workflow

Toca Tudo leverages a robust, redundant workflow to locate and stream audio from YouTube, ensuring high reliability while acknowledging that no system is infallible.

1. Metadata Collection (Spotify, Last.fm & Vagalume)

The PHP server requests track info (Artist, Title) from the Spotify, Last.fm, and Vagalume APIs.

2. Primary Search (pytubefix)

The server uses the pytubefix library (Python/Flask) to search YouTube for the track and stream the audio-only portion.

3. Fallback Mechanism (yt-dlp)

If pytubefix fails, the system automatically switches to yt-dlp (Python/Flask) to extract audio, ensuring high reliability.

4. Audio Playback

The extracted audio stream is sent back to the client for immediate playback.

Access & Community

Toca Tudo is free, but to ensure performance on our small personal server, new accounts are available only by invitation.

This exclusivity allows us to maintain quality and foster a dedicated community. Want to join?

About the Developer

Mário Rocha | Creator

I’m a passionate software developer who built Toca Tudo from scratch, leveraging PHP/Python/Flask for the backend and MySQL for data management. This project is a testament to open-source development and self-hosted solutions.

Toca Tudo isn’t a giant corporation; I’ve just got coffee and persistence. Still, it plays your music just fine and free.

Entirely coded in Notepad++, a true proof of dedication.
