Accounts & Login
Sign in to YouTube, Spotify and Discord — and how login differs on the Desktop app.
SimpMusic has three independent, optional integrations, all managed from Settings. None is required to play music — the app works fully as a guest.
YouTube / Google account
Signing in with Google gives you a personalized Home and library, authenticated playback, and playlist sync. SimpMusic supports multiple Google accounts that you can switch between.
On Android, login happens in an in-app browser:
Go to Settings → YouTube Account.
Tap Add an account.
Sign in to Google in the in-app browser window.
When it reaches YouTube Music, SimpMusic captures the session and adds your account.
From the YouTube Account dialog you can:
- Tap an account to make it the active one.
- Choose Guest to browse without any account.
- Log out to remove all signed-in accounts.
- Add an account to sign in with another Google account.
Spotify
Signing in to Spotify unlocks Spotify lyrics and Canvas (the short looping visuals). Both require a Spotify login.
Go to Settings → Spotify.
Tap Log in to Spotify and sign in.
Back in Settings, turn on Enable Spotify Lyrics and/or Enable Canvas.
Tapping Log in to Spotify again while signed in logs you out.
Discord
Connect Discord to show what you're listening to on your profile via Rich Presence.
Go to Settings → Discord integration.
Tap Log in to Discord and authorize.
Turn on Enable rich presence.
See Playback & Queue and the Settings reference for more on what each integration adds.
Logging in on the Desktop app
The desktop app does not have an in-app login browser. Instead, SimpMusic opens an external guide that walks you through signing in and pasting your session cookie/token manually:

- Discord: How to log in to Discord on the desktop app
