Show HN: Open source music player in beta

Genuine question: what's the need of music players these days? I mean, all the songs are locked in music streaming app (apple music, spotify)- where do you download your songs from?

Some people like their music without DRM and vendor lock-in. We rip it from Audio-CDs or buy mp3 albums when available. Sometimes we even resort to piracy (SoulSeek, torrent, one-click hoster+piracy blogs).

Also if you often travel between borders, streaming music is just not an option.

I have an offline collection of about 500GB of music, but there are people who have substantially more.

On SoundCloud you can find tons of mixes. I don't have a data plan so I prefer to listen to podcasts offline.

I do have a data plan and prefer to listen to podcasts offline. The amount of data podcasts can take up is crazy

Have you heard about that those ancient things called music CDs? That's where people get their offline music from ;-)
