A personal music player

Play your library by the people who played on it.

A music player that reads like the liner notes. Point it at your music folder. It plays your whole library, and it lets you pull up every track a sideman appeared on, or every session a composer wrote. Not just whose name is on the cover.

Features

01

Plays everything local.

MP3, FLAC, M4A, OGG, Opus, WAV. Gapless playback straight from disk. Queue, shuffle, repeat. No streaming, no re-encoding, no DRM.

02

Every credit, indexed.

Reads ID3 multi-value artist tags the way they were meant to be read. Sidemen, composers, and features are first-class, queueable citizens.

03

Local, always.

Nothing leaves your machine. IndexedDB caches the scan; the second open is instant. No account, no cloud, no telemetry.

04

Own & guest, counted.

See at a glance how often someone leads a session vs. plays on someone else’s. The story of a player, in numbers.

05

Tag the instrument.

Mark Ron Carter as bass, Tony Williams as drums. Then browse the library by instrument: every bassist, every drummer, like a session-musicians directory.

06

Smart playlists.

Rule-based, personnel-based, auto-updating. “Every track Ron Carter played on, rated four or five mics, never played.” It refills itself.

07

Edits write back.

Fix a typo, add a missing sideman, save. MP3 gets a native ID3v2 write; FLAC, M4A, OGG, Opus, AAC go through ffmpeg. Other players see the change too.

08

Two PCs, one library.

Export a snapshot, drop it on a Dropbox/Tailscale share, import on the other machine. Ratings, plays, edits, personnel all sync. No server in the middle.

Screens

What it looks like.

01 Album Personnel weighted above the track list. Click any name to jump to that player.
02 Artist Bio, Albums, Collaborators, Contributions, Similar Artists. Bio pulls a biography, top tracks, and same-genre neighbours from Last.fm; every mention that resolves to your library is a one-click link.
03 Stats Local listening counts and history by default. Optional Last.fm scrobbling for Pro; nothing about your listening is shared anywhere else.
04 Help Full reference shipped inside the app. Hit ? anywhere for the keyboard cheatsheet.

How it works

Three steps, then it’s yours.

Your library deserves better than “Various Artists.”
STEP 01

Point at a folder.

Choose your music directory. We read structure like Artist/Album/track.mp3, plus disc subfolders. No uploading, no sync. The picker is local.

STEP 02

We read every tag.

MP3, FLAC, M4A, OGG. Every file gets its ID3 parsed for title, multi-value artists, composer, year, and genre. Cover art is pulled from folder images.

STEP 03

Play like a liner-notes reader.

Search and queue by player, composer, or session. Hit play on “everything Ron Carter touched” as easily as on an album. Personnel is weighted above titles; summaries show how often a name appears across your library.
