Why a local music player in 2026?

Streaming made discovery effortless and ownership invisible. Songs vanish from Spotify when licensing deals expire. Curated playlists get rewritten without notice. Recommendations are optimized for what keeps you subscribed, not what you actually love. If you've ever lost an album you adored to a regional rights shuffle, you already know the cost of renting your music.

SongCart is a local-first music player for people who want a real library back. It imports your Spotify playlists, helps you assemble a library you actually own, and plays it back in a clean, fast desktop app — on macOS, Windows, and Linux. No streaming server. No DRM that breaks when a provider goes dark. No telemetry quietly shipping your listening data somewhere else.

Coming from iTunes, Apple Music, foobar2000, MusicBee, or Clementine? SongCart is built for massive libraries, supports lossless playback (FLAC, ALAC, WAV), and includes a smart-playlists engine for the way real collectors actually organize their music.
