I come from the times where winamp was the go-to music player. Today, even in the age of streaming services I still keep a local music library organized in folders. So, just as others here in the comments I built myself an old-school music player as a hobby project to listen to my music offline. It's a 1 page html/js app, has full keyboard controls and also features a simple queue mechanism functionality Check it out: https://nobsutils.com/mp

To me the go-to music player has always been foobar2000. (Replaced today by Cog app)

Foobar2000 is the irfanview for audio, apps I still use regularly more than 20 years and counting.

foobar2000, IrfanView, Total Commander. The 3 apps I still miss after 15+ years of not using Windows (went through 10 years of OSX, now on Linux for probably 5 years).

There's just nothing like this trio on OSX or Linux.

i never got the hang of Total Commander; i only use the file browser on windows as the cli form is so terrible compared to bash..

irfan was fun though, i do like Emulsion even though its not really under development anymore

im currently happy with foobar2k via wine, havent yet loaded all my plugins yet but will eventually load up the 7.1 upmixer and test it out. if you have not used the later versions of f2k, its worth checking out
