Hello everyone.

I'm on a campaign to move my audio listening closer to nearly all offline. My current quest is to research which are the best options for offline music player on the PC.

I have a mix of FLAC and MP3 files, and desire to add more high end music files from physical media in the future. But the main need right now, is to learn what are the best free music players out there.

My current knowledge of PC music players worth a try are, WINamp, foobar2000, and VLC.

What would you recommend I check out?

Late to the party, but Musicbee is the best out there for Windows. For ANY platform in fact, but it's only available on Windows.

VLC is the popular choice, but in some ways, it kinda sucks. Musicbee is beautiful, configurable, has great library management, and...well, it's just really good.

I've been using it for a decade or so. Now that I've switched full time to Linux, I'm suffering withdrawal.
