Sounds

A boring music player for Windows

Tired of applications that want their own music library, or look like a bad relic of 90s attitude? Sounds is a simple and minimalistic music player for Windows that respects your file organization, the platform's look and feel, and your own time. Inspired by Muine in regards to interface.

Facts

• Written in C#.
• No music library managed by the application; that's the file system and file metadata's responsibility. Just add (or drag) the files into the playlist and you're good to go.
• Uses the system libraries to play music, and TagLib to cut through file metadata.
• No skins, plugins, or any other funny business. You get what you see.
• Speaks Japanese.

Download

You can get binaries that automatically update or get the source code.

Requirements

At least Windows Vista with .NET 4.5 is required. For taskbar thumbnails and controls, Windows 7 is required. To play Vorbis and FLAC files, Windows 10 or the xiph.org DirectShow codecs are required.

Non-Windows is theoretically possible to support with extreme refactoring, but without much point, because alternatives like Audacious (or even Banshee in Muinshee mode) exist.
