Highly recommended for audiophiles and pros alike!
I installed the player yesterday and I am genuinely impressed. The app is incredibly fast and responsive, it indexed and loaded my FLAC library instantly with zero lag.
The tabbed playlists are a real killer feature for me. Working with playlists that behave like browser tabs is a game changer. I can easily keep multiple thematic lists open, rename them on the fly, and switch between them instantly. It makes music management super clean and organized.
As a mixing engineer, I also absolutely love the VU meter. Having the option to toggle it to a peak meter is a fantastic professional touch that you rarely see in standard players. Also, a special shoutout for the visual design, it triggers a really warm, nostalgic feeling. I am using it on macOS.
Since I come from an audio engineering background, my ultimate wishlist for future updates would be MIDI control support and a remote control feature from mobile devices.
Fantastic job by the developer, this is already a solid and lightweight player.
How does it handle larger libraries, like over 10k tracks? Curious if search and performance stay snappy at that scale.
@naznegi1edi Great question! Performance and snappiness were my top priorities, especially since heavy streaming apps can get sluggish with large collections.
I just stress-tested it with a library of over 5,900 tracks: the entire collection loaded in literally one second, and the instant search stays absolutely bulletproof and snappy. Plus, it only takes around 119 MB of RAM at that scale, keeping it incredibly lightweight.
Give it a spin with your collection, I'd love to hear your feedback!
Love the no-subscription, local-files approach, that's exactly what the macOS music scene has been missing. One thing I'd love to see is a proper smart playlist builder, like AIMP had, where you can define rules based on rating, play count, or last played date. Would make managing a big library so much easier.
@tanerklnamvsz6 Thank you so much! Yes, the no-subscription, lightweight approach for local libraries is exactly why I built this—I missed that straightforward experience on macOS so much.
A smart playlist builder based on rules (ratings, play counts, dates) is a fantastic idea, and it totally fits the AIMP/Winamp philosophy. I’m definitely adding this to my roadmap for future updates!
Right now, I'm focusing on making sure the core performance is bulletproof, but smart playlists are high on my priority list. Thanks for the awesome feedback!
Finally gave it a spin and it really does feel like coming home. Scanned my FLAC folder in seconds and the interface stays out of the way.
@ngunendi13049 Wow, 'feel like coming home' is honestly the best compliment I could have ever hoped for! Thank you so much.
That exact feeling of a fast, distraction-free player that just plays your music without getting in the way is exactly what I was missing on macOS. I'm thrilled to hear it handled your FLAC collection so smoothly.
Enjoy the music, and thank you for giving it a spin!
Finally a Mac player that gets the simplicity right. The classic vibe is there without feeling dated, and loading my FLAC library was instant.
@furkanbeki61828 Thank you so much! Balancing that classic, nostalgic vibe with a clean, modern macOS feel was one of the toughest parts of designing it. I’m so glad it hit the right spot for you.
And hearing that your FLAC library loaded instantly is music to my ears! Keeping it lightweight and fast is my main mission.
Thanks for the support and enjoy your music!
the choice to keep it focused on local files without any streaming hooks or social clutter is genuinely refreshing. love that you prioritized the actual listening experience over feature bloat.
@meral25451 Thank you! You completely nailed the core philosophy behind this project.
I felt so tired of music players turning into bloated social platforms or trying to push streaming subscriptions when all I wanted was to just listen to my own files. Prioritizing a clean, distraction-free listening experience was a non-negotiable for me.
I'm incredibly glad to hear that this focused approach resonates with you. Thanks for the amazing support!
The fact that this came from a real "I missed my old player" frustration comes through in every detail. Love that it stays focused on local files instead of trying to be another streaming wrapper.
@muhammetmijyo8 Thank you so much! It really means a lot because that frustration was 100% real. Spending decades with a software ecosystem that just works for you, and then feeling lost after switching — that's exactly what drove every single feature and detail here.
Keeping it strictly focused on local files and avoiding the streaming wrapper trap was my main goal. I'm so glad you felt that attention to detail. Thanks for the support!
