Launching with Bitz

Play it before it's finished.

Most media players make you wait. Bitz Media Player doesn't. Stream music and video the moment a download starts — no progress bar, no waiting room.

Everything in one player

Play While Downloading

A dual progress bar shows both your playback position and download progress simultaneously. Start listening or watching the moment a download begins — no waiting for the file to finish.

Your Music Library

Point the player at any folder and it builds a browsable library organized by artist and album, with cover art loaded automatically. Search your entire collection and queue up full albums from one clean interface.

Playlists

Create as many playlists as you want, add tracks from anywhere in your library, reorder them, and play straight through. Playlists are saved and waiting every time you open the app.

Automatic Lyrics

Start playing a song and the lyrics appear on screen without you doing anything. Saved locally so they appear instantly the next time you play the same track.

Live Audio Visualizer

A 46-bar equalizer graphic responds to your music in real time, moving and pulsing with the audio.

Picture-in-Picture

Shrink the player into a compact floating window that stays visible on top of everything else you're doing. One click to pop back to full size.

Movie & TV Discovery

A full browsable catalog of movies and TV shows is built right into the player — trending titles, search, season/episode browse, all without leaving the app. No account required.

YouTube Downloader

Search for any YouTube video directly inside the player, queue multiple items, and choose your format: audio only, 720p, 1080p, or 4K. Downloads happen in the background.

Full Keyboard Control

Every function has a keyboard shortcut. You never have to hunt for the mouse.

How Bitz and Bitz Media Player work together

Works on its own

Point it at any folder on your computer and use it as your everyday music and video player — no P2P app required.

Better together

When you find a file in Bitz and start downloading, the player opens automatically and begins streaming immediately. No extra buttons, no setup — the handoff is seamless.
