I am pretty proud of this project and wanted to share. I have a ton of mp3s from the past, flac from live shows, and blah blah blah. I have finally given up on Spotify and the like... and just didn't find any real players that felt inspiring. I know that Foobar is cool - but like I said... I am proud of this. Please check it out and give me some feed back.

Bullet Points About Project (AI Written):

• Four UI shells — Retro (Bloomberg-density Winamp 2 homage), Modern (rounded, content-forward), Liquid Glass (translucent stacked panes with backdrop-filter), Concourse (operator-console split-cells)
• Nine deck (compact-window) skins — Windowshade, Winamp Classic, Winamp Industrial, Record Player, Jukebox, Cassette Deck, Discman, Hotdog Deck, and Retro TV. Each declares its own native window size — no letterbox
• 13 color skins — Classic, Ops, Midnight, Neon, Amber, Oxide, Steel, Walnut, Jukebox, Terminal, Ice, Miami, Mono. Plus full Winamp 2.x .wsz skin import
• 0–100 decimal track scoring — Drag, scroll-wheel, keyboard-nudge, or double-click to type 88.3. Stars stay in sync for legacy sorts and smart rules
• 0–200% volume with a red-zone past unity — VLC-style amp boost, full 0 dB / +6 dB tick labels, runs after the master limiter so it amplifies without clipping
• Magazine-style Home — greeting hero with blurred album backdrop, Today's Pick (high-rated track you haven't played in 6+ weeks, with a reason chip), Your Highest Rated rail, NewAmp News editorial card, Listening Stats This Week, plus the classic Harmonic / Taste / Loved / Heavy Rotation / Fresh Imports rails
• Living Library Discover mode — local-first crate-digging missions that turn ratings, plays, skips, fresh imports, deep album candidates, and underplayed corners into playable sessions with Deck / Full Vis / Save as Playlist actions
• Bloomberg-density Now Playing with a tabbed side panel (On Air / Album / Lyrics), draggable spectrum-split, selectable spectrum styles, VU + waveform overview, LRCLIB-synced lyrics, optional karaoke mode, custom-lyrics editor, tempo trainer, practice A/B loop, track bookmarks
• Milkdrop visualizer + Xbox-inspired fullscreen modes — Butterchurn presets, spectrum modes, aurora, plasma grid, and neon ribbon renderers built for 4K fullscreen use
• Auto DJ + smart playlists — BPM/key-aware harmonic mixes, taste-learning from plays/loves/ratings/skips, smart rules with min-rating filters
• Album art rescue + Metadata rescue — embedded art, folder art, Cover Art Archive, MusicBrainz lookup, and manual cleanup tools for rough local libraries
• Artist facts and images — musician-first artist context and large artist images without confusing bands for species, cities, albums, or other same-name pages
• Custom playlists — create named playlists, reorder tracks, export portable folders, and pick or drop playlist artwork for the playlist icon
• Native guitar tab companion — cache local/Ultimate Guitar-style tabs and pop out a native tab window when a playable match exists
• Audiophile chain — WASAPI output, ReplayGain (per-track + per-album), crossfade/gapless playback checks, software limiter, 10-band EQ, lossless WAV export of any track, output-device picker with test tone
• CUE sheet playback — one-file albums split into playable, seekable tracks with performer/title/year/genre metadata
• Last.fm — full scrobbling + now-playing + offline outbox queue
• Local-first — SQLite library, sql.js, no account, no telemetry, no required network
