Hi everyone!

I’m a CS student. I spent the last few months developing a music player because I was frustrated with how much RAM modern players consume just to play a simple FLAC or DSD file.

I built Glaerix Music Player with a focus on two things: Extreme Efficiency and Audio Purity.

What makes it different?

Minimalist Engine: While most players eat 500MB+ of RAM, Glaerix stays consistently between 90MB and 101MB.
Bit-Perfect Audio: It uses WASAPI Exclusive mode to bypass the Windows mixer for a transparent listening experience.
Pro Formats: Native support for DSD (dsf/dff) and a custom 5.1 to Stereo downmix logic for multichannel files.
Privacy First: No cloud, no accounts. All hardware profiles and favorites are stored in local JSON files.
The Tech Stack: I used Python and compiled it to C++ via Nuitka to ensure high performance and a native feel on Windows.

I’m really trying to reach my goal of paying for my studies through my software, so I’m offering it as a one-time purchase ($9.99) instead of the usual subscription model.

If you want to try it out, just leave a comment and I’ll DM you a code.

Thanks for supporting student-led projects!
