Aideo Music Player

Aideo Music Player is a modern, lightweight, open-source desktop music player built for audiophiles and music lovers on Windows 10 & 11 (powered by Tauri v2, Rust, and React 19).

As an alternative to legacy players like foobar2000 and MusicBee, and subscription apps like Spotify and Roon, Aideo combines uncompressed bit-perfect sound with real-time karaoke lyrics and a fluid liquid-glass interface.
