You might choose it for its vast collection of online music that\u2019ll still be available with the desktop app, but Spotify for Windows also allows you to play music from your PC, locally.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Spotify desktop app is similar to its smartphone counterparts. Once you log into your account, it\u2019ll sync across all your devices, and all the features Spotify has will be available to you on every system. Use it to listen to podcasts, play your favorite songs offline or online, or select a private session.

Aside from that, iTunes is a great free media player for Windows 11. It can play your locally stored music files and music you bought from the iTunes store, and it can also stream audio from Apple Music if you have a valid subscription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>iTunes supports a vast variety of audio file formats such as MP3, WAV, Apple Lossless, AIFF, or AAC. But it also serves as a great audio file manager which you can control manually. However, the best feature iTunes offers is home-sharing, which allows you to stream songs from your PC to other devices connected to your local network.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.  <a target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" href=\"https:\/\/www.videolan.org\/vlc\/download-windows.html\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"45370\">VLC Media Player<\/a>\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Best Open Source Media Player.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Plays almost any audio or video file format.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>User-friendly interface with different themes support.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No ads.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Different playback controls available.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Available for all popular platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS, Chrome OS, Apple TV, Android).\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/10\/9-best-music-players-for-windows-11-4-compressed.jpg\" data-lasso-id=\"45371\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"677\" height=\"485\" src=\"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/10\/9-best-music-players-for-windows-11-4-compressed.jpg\" alt=\"9 Best Music Players for Windows 11 image 4\" class=\"wp-image-74115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/10\/9-best-music-players-for-windows-11-4-compressed.jpg 677w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/10\/9-best-music-players-for-windows-11-4-compressed-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/10\/9-best-music-players-for-windows-11-4-compressed-610x437.jpg 610w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/10\/9-best-music-players-for-windows-11-4-compressed-70x50.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 677px) 100vw, 677px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Although VLC is mostly used for playing video files, it can easily meet all your music-playing needs.

That means if you\u2019re slightly tech-savvy, you can tweak this media player yourself and have it just the way you like it. You can change the playback speed, enable audio visualization, or normalize audio.

It can arrange your music library logically, and it\u2019ll keep all the information about the tracks up to date, as you add, edit, or remove files. However, this music player won\u2019t allow you to organize the files manually unless you download a third-party plugin for MediaMonkey. It\u2019ll also identify the missing info about the tracks you\u2019re playing, and display their metadata. On top of that, you can tag music during the playback, a feature you can use to label the tracks and generate appropriate playlists.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, the free version of MediaMonkey doesn\u2019t have as many features as some of the open-source competitors like VLC. Instead, you\u2019ll find them in the premium version for which you\u2019ll need to pay.  The paid Gold version comes with a party mode which will lock the interface so no guests can make any unwanted changes to your playlists. It also has a conversion option for TV and smartphones, and MP3 encoding.

You can customize sound levels with a built-in equalizer and edit metadata with tags for easier music and playlist sorting. However, don\u2019t expect this music player to have advanced customization options found in other players such as Winamp or even the new Windows Media Player.

Among other features that you won\u2019t find in Dopamine are CD ripping and the ability to access ZIP, 7z, GZIP, and other compressed archives.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. <a target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aimp.ru\/?do=download\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"45382\">AIMP<\/a>\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Best for online listening.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Various different playback controls.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easy-to-use Interface.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easy search options.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Editing tags support enabled.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supports a large number of audio codecs.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/10\/9-best-music-players-for-windows-11-10-compressed.jpg\" data-lasso-id=\"45383\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/10\/9-best-music-players-for-windows-11-10-compressed.jpg\" alt=\"9 Best Music Players for Windows 11 image 10\" class=\"wp-image-74124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/10\/9-best-music-players-for-windows-11-10-compressed.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/10\/9-best-music-players-for-windows-11-10-compressed-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/10\/9-best-music-players-for-windows-11-10-compressed-768x500.jpg 768w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/10\/9-best-music-players-for-windows-11-10-compressed-610x397.jpg 610w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/10\/9-best-music-players-for-windows-11-10-compressed-77x50.jpg 77w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/10\/9-best-music-players-for-windows-11-10-compressed-130x85.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Artem Izmaylov Media Player, or AIMP (named after its creator), was released in 2006, and since then it has become one of the top-rated music players.
