VLC works but it's ugly and<br> clunky. Windows Media Player is basically dead. Spotify doesn't play local files the way I want.</p> <p>So I built Aria — a local music player that runs as a tiny web server on your machine. Open your browser, your whole<br> library is there. </p> <p>It's free, open source, runs fully local, nothing leaves your machine, no account, no subscription.<br> Landing page: <a href="https://arianova613.github.io/aria" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://arianova613.github.io/aria</a><br> GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/AriaNova613/aria" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/AriaNova613/aria</a><br> Would love any feedback.
