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, 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.

You can get Foobar for the Mac. https://www.foobar2000.org/mac

No idea if it's any good, I just use Music.
