Tunes - Standalone FiveM Music System

Tunes is a standalone FiveM proximity music player built for servers that want clean, easy-to-use music in vehicles and on foot. Players can search YouTube, play tracks, manage their own station, use boombox playback, and share music naturally with nearby players through distance-based audio.
