In this day and age, there are a ton of different devices capable of playing music and a lot of programs to achieve that. The choices you get are likely in the thousands.
But what is your preferred Music Player? It's more important than you think, almost everybody listens to music and the program must adapt to your use case and be reliable on a day-to-day basis.
The programs I use are:
Tauon Music Box:

Tauon is a Windows/Linux Music Player that has a lot of great features, it shines in the mix of complexity and simplicity it presents. My favorite features are that it treats any folder as an album and the ability to search without clicking anything.
Although I stopped using it due to audio cutting when the system load is high (the peak when you open a program, it skips like 0.10 seconds), it's pretty heavy for a music player.
Amberol:

Amberol is a Linux only (you can run it on Windows with the WSL) Music Player that focuses on simplicity and a fancy UI. It's pretty fast and the interface couldn't be simpler, you also get a sidebar where all of your tracks appear. The biggest downside is the lack of features, but if you like that, it's Amberol's biggest strength.
I'm currently using it to avoid the issue I mentioned above with Tauon.
I will be honest, the reason I made this topic is to find a new music player that's a middle point between Tauon and Amberol.
