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
