A free, open-source desktop player for the music files already sitting on your Windows or Linux machine.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-28 issue.

Field notes

Aoide is organized around local-file playback rather than a hosted music library: tracks can come from folders, removable media, or network drives, while existing artist and album metadata remains untouched. Its playlist manager saves M3U and M3U8 files, and its customization layer accepts skins from folders or zip archives, including user-supplied fonts. The page identifies macOS, Spotify and Last.fm support as planned rather than currently available, and links bug reports and feature requests to a public issue tracker.
