Unpopular Music Player
Instead of "Artists" and "Songs" in pop(ular) music, this program uses the metadata composer and grouping to organise the music in works (e.g. a symphony) consisting of movements (parts of this work). Further, no text is truncated, i.e. long movement names or performer lists will take as much space on the screen as they need to be visible in full length. The program can work together with the Classical Music Tagger and the Classical Music Scanner.
