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)

What plugins do you use? I cannot imagine to add even 10 plugins to foobar2K, especially now,when "exclusive" access to sound card is built-in and doesn't require WASAPI/ASIO plugin anymore.

i try to install them all and only remove ones that break or really bother me - its fun to play with things from time to time. in terms of which ones i use:

  - decoders
  - asio output, virtual audio cable setup as needed (but for the most part the output i rarely change anymore)
  - DSPs, audio (i upmix to 7.1 depending on output; but not exactly a requirement due to equalizer apo), video stuff for funzies
  - Network related stuff (control, upnp)
  - theme related stuff though i think this is lacking for my use
  - lots of tooling stuff (though ive slowed down on a lot of that as of lately)
the app is a powerhouse for power users
