I really think you're being a bit too unfair to yourself and to your
work, so I suggest you remove that line. Most great programs start off
simply and grow.
The screen-cap image implies it's a ms-windows program, but readme.md
does not list any system or build requirements (particularly OS and
toolchain).
If you have a website for the project (implied by the "Website" code
directory), you should link to it from github.
All in all, it looks great. Thanks for ShowHN'ing it.

I remember reading a post about hiring 'rock star' programmers where it said they are usually pretty humble and don't think their accomplishments are especially great, ie. they don't realize how good they are. Christoffer seems like one of those guys. Great job!

Should have gone with the neutral screencap - OS X...

Err wow. I think you just killed off my use of VLC media player.
This fixes two major annoyances I've had with VLC in that it never handled displaying the Genre in the playlist and there was some minor problems in the meta files in my MP3s that meant I could never have all my files displayed as it crashed when loading in the files.
It found all my MP3s both without me having to tell it where they were and loaded them in quickly.

I solved it by clicking on the last "Content" button in the menu bar and switching the language twice (first to the second option, then back to English).

At a glance this looks like a good project to learn from, specifically about how to structure non-trivial programs. I write lots of spaghetti code and struggle to keep things separate. This code looks clean and well documented.

Does it have support for WASAPI output on Windows? The output via DirectSound is unacceptable for some with the obsession on bit-perfect output (or Audiophiles, I suppose).

or.. you know.. a few screenshots on different platforms.
[edit] And it's clear from the about section of the home-page that the developer uses windows, since he credits other's for the Mac & Linux support.

This project doesn't show much signs of life, how is it news?

Awesome work!
