[HOMEBREW] Made a background music player + lyrics overlay for Switch homebrew (StreamSnagNX)

[u/Effective-Comment601]

I just wanted this for myself.

I wanted to be able to play some music while playing games on my Switch, with lyrics floating on the screen. I couldn't find exactly what I wanted, so I figured:

Fuck it, I'll make it.

So I made StreamSnagNX.

It lets you:

• Search YouTube Music directly from your Switch
• Download songs for offline playback
• Download synced lyrics
• Keep music playing while you're playing other games
• Display floating lyrics over your game
• Control everything through an overlay or snag-ctl
• Manage your downloaded tracks and playlists

It doesn't require an account or API key.

And yeah, it's AI-assisted. I'm not going to pretend otherwise. AI helped me with parts of the development, but I still had to put everything together, debug it, test it on actual hardware, chase down stupid bugs, and make the damn thing work.

I originally made it because I wanted it myself, but once it became usable I figured why not share it in case someone else wants it too?

It's still a work in progress and there are definitely some rough edges, but it's usable enough that I've been happily using it myself.

If anyone wants to try it out, feedback and bug reports are welcome.

(And yes, you can absolutely play Bury the Light while hunting in Monster Hunter.)
