Nagi

Nagi is a music player for Windows that will remind you of classics like Winamp for its smooth performance, only now with a more modern interface developed with WinUI 3. This will allow you to customize the background with native Windows effects such as Mica, Mica Alt, and Acrylic. For example, when playing a track, you will notice how all the visual elements adopt the same color palette as the album's cover art.

How to set up and get the most out of Nagi

After installing Nagi, you will be able to enjoy a powerful audio engine compatible with both MP3 and M4A files, as well as high-resolution formats such as FLAC, DSD, WAV, AIFF, and WavPack. Additionally, this player features a customizable 10-band equalizer and ReplayGain support. With this, you can automatically normalize the volume to avoid sudden jumps when switching between older and newer songs.

Link your accounts from external tools

Another advantage of using Nagi is the ability to link your accounts from other tools in the settings to activate Last.fm's scrobbling or Discord's Rich Presence. This way, your friends will be able to see in real time what song you're listening to. Additionally, if you download .lrc files, you can tap any line of the lyrics to jump directly to that exact moment of the track.

My experience listening to music on Nagi

Although I am a regular user of Spotify, when trying Nagi, I found that the player performed perfectly in terms of audio quality, privacy, and control. All I had to do was link my music to start creating my own playlists and enjoying all of my favorite songs offline, without paying monthly fees. Additionally, I found the interface quite intuitive, and its appearance was nice, with border colors that changed according to each album's cover art.

What I liked most about Nagi and what could be improved

• What I liked most: the interface, playlist management, and compatibility with almost any audio format.

• What I would improve: if you don't have audio files physically downloaded on your PC, then this player will be of no use to you.

Download Nagi for PC to take advantage of this open source music player. Although the era of streaming has replaced keeping local files, the technical quality of these files more than compensates for the effort of maintaining your own library.
