Spotify using several processes and GB of memory just play some music and browse a library is an abomination. WinAMP did most of that 20 years ago while using a fraction of the resources.
Discord similarly is an affront.
Correction, Winamp still does this today while using a fraction of the resources.
Though if you're on Windows I'd recommend Xmplay instead, it plays basically everything.
I'm on Linux and I use VLC.
Have you tried AIMP on Windows? If so, how does it compare with Xmplay?
Never tried it, sorry
