When you play a generated track, Unsora starts a global music player that stays active as you move around the dashboard. You can review images, edit videos, or queue new songs without stopping playback.
Start playback
On the Music generator results list, click the play button on any completed card. The same track highlights with a ring while it is active.
Playback also works from the floating player after you navigate away from Music generator.
Player modes
The player sits in the bottom-right of the main content area (full-width on small screens). It never covers the sidebar.
| Mode | What you see | When to use |
|---|
| Mini (default) | Title, play/pause, progress bar, minimize & close | Everyday listening while you work |
| Expanded | Mini controls plus rolling synced lyrics and skip ±10s | Following lyrics on desktop |
| Minimized | Small circular chip with play/pause or music icon | Maximum workspace; chip expands back to mini |
On phones, Expanded is hidden — use synced lyrics on the active result card instead. The player auto-collapses if you resize the window to mobile width.
Synced lyrics
Lyrics scroll and highlight in time with playback — similar to a streaming app.
- Active line — bold, full contrast
- Nearby lines — softer emphasis
- Section tags —
[Verse], [Chorus], etc. shown as small labels
The API returns plain-text lyrics only — no word-level timestamps. Sync timing is estimated from line length and track duration, so highlights are approximate, not karaoke-precise.
- On the active result card in Music generator
- In the expanded player on desktop
Work without blocking the UI
Generation tools (image, video, thumbnail, and others) use a fixed prompt bar at the bottom of the screen. The music player is designed to coexist with those bars:
- The player docks in the corner instead of a full-width bar
- Prompt bars lift automatically when music is playing so generate buttons stay reachable
- Scroll areas gain bottom padding so lists are not hidden behind the player
You can play a song, open Image generator, and submit a prompt without closing the player.

Stop playback
Click Close (×) on the player, or delete the track from results. Minimize only hides the UI — audio keeps playing until you pause or close.
