Electron Music Player

Though convenient, streaming music may not be for everyone. Some users own entire discographies' worth of songs on their drives, so finding a way to enjoy those tunes takes precedence over looking them up on streaming platforms and hoping they're there.

Offline music players are still used and appreciated by many, and Electron Music Player is a bit of an interesting one in that regard. Besides having an interface that is faintly similar to iTunes', this music player supports FLAC, allows one to create playlists, edit track metadata, and transcode any tunes they wish to a lower bitrate.

To make the most of their tunes, users prefer to have a nice interface to go along with it. The importance of interface design when it comes to music players cannot be overstated, as using a program whose interface you don't get along with can lead to a world of frustration. This one is somewhat reminiscent of iTunes, owing to minimalist, but sufficiently functional elements, as well as the Light mode-heavy look, so it's already quite familiar from the jump.

What remains for you to do is locate your music libraries via Settings. Multiple locations can be set, and you can also have the tool automatically download album and artist artworks for your tracks. From then on, all that matters is enjoying your favorite music: we noticed no delays or erratic behavior while playing our songs, which made for a worry-free experience overall.

The program supports FLAC playback, so the enthusiasts among you will see this as a viable solution to try out. For those who are looking to reduce the size of their music files, uncompressed or otherwise, can make use of the Transcoder function available under the Tools menu. You can set a target bitrate, which will reduce the file size of the respective song.

Those who like organizing their music files will enjoy what the metadata editor functions have to offer. Aside from the usual information you'd find in a metadata file, the tool can also recognize the sample rate and bit depth of a given track.

Electron Music Player works well as a player, metadata editor, and transcoder, which makes it quite the versatile tool when it comes to working with an offline music library.
