I dislike streaming services. I have tried many music player apps like Foobar2000, Musicbee, AIMP, Clementine, Strawberry, etc. and just they're not for me. No disrespect to the creators, they're clearly very well-built apps. I like (tolerate) iTunes, and while it IS functional and has a ui that I find better than the alternatives, it's very out of date, sluggish overall and can cause other weird issues with other applications.
To be honest, this app is made so I can use as my daily music player. HOWEVER, if you agree with one or more of the previous statements, this app may also be for you too. It's made for Windows with WPF in C#, for this reason, Linux/macOS versions are not currently planned. My main concern is efficiency for my personal daily driver OS (Windows 10) not cross compatibility. The thought of making such a detailed and clean UI in Rust (my cross compat. language of choice) gives me goosebumps and shivers, ergo: WPF in C#, using XAML for styling.
If you have any issues, create an issue from the Issues tab and I will get back to you as quickly as possible.
