A desktop music player
with a warm, analog soul.

Espresso Player is a local music player for people who still keep a real music library — with a loop editor and pitch tuner for musicians, one-click lossless-to-MP3 conversion, and a built-in internet radio browser with 30,000+ stations worldwide.

Everything a local music library needs

Five things people actually open Espresso Player for.

Library

A real playlist, not a queue

Import whole folders at once. Tracks are grouped by album with full-size cover art, sortable by artist/album/track number, with instant search across your entire library and support for multiple playlists.

Loop editor & tuner

Built for practicing, not just listening

Drag directly on the waveform to set a loop region, slow playback down to 0.5× without changing pitch, and read the exact note and cents off-pitch in real time — made for musicians working out a solo or a riff.

Favorites

Heart the tracks you keep coming back to

One click favorites any track — in your library or on internet radio — and a single toggle filters your whole playlist down to just the songs you've marked.

FLAC / WAV → MP3

Save disk space without losing your tags

Drop in lossless files and Espresso Player offers to convert them to MP3 on import — artist, album, title and embedded cover art all carry over. Whole albums ripped from a single cue-sheet file are split into properly tagged tracks automatically.

Internet radio

30,000+ stations, zero setup

Browse live stations by country and genre, hit "Random" to discover something new, and favorite the ones worth keeping — with a live spectrum visualizer while a stream plays.

The smaller things that add up

Tag editor

Fix artist, album, title, track number, year and genre right from the playlist — no separate app needed.

Drag & drop import

Drag a folder straight onto the playlist, or use "Update Folders" to pick up new files added since the last import.

Speed presets

0.5×, 0.75×, 1× and 1.25× playback speed with pitch preserved — one click, no menus.

Filter your whole library by artist, album or title as you type.
