What music players exist for macOS that have the coverflow feature? (lemmy.world)

MusicBee on Windows has a plugin that achieves this. On macOS I can only find one (Album Flow), and it works only with my Apple Music library.

I'm looking for something that works independently, with a directory of music I point it to. Does anything like this exist today?

I've done quite a bit of searching, I hope I'm missing something obvious because it's an extremely intuitive and accessible way to browse and listen to music. Thanks!

foobar2000 (TIL there is a Mac version) has a plugin for this https://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_chronflow

After 10 minutes of searching this is the only thing I found.

I really appreciate the effort you went to there, thank you so much.

I had no idea that Foobar2000 had a macOS port. Unfortunately, the component itself (Cron Flow) is Windows only, so it gives me that error when I try to add it.

I did try using WINE to install Foobar2000 (Windows version) just now. It crashes when I add music to the library, though. So it looks like this isn't an option. Thanks again!
