Get Who Played That?
Pick your platform below. Nothing to configure, no account, no telemetry. Once installed, the app updates itself in the background.
What you get.
A native desktop music player for Windows, macOS and Linux. Plays MP3, FLAC, M4A (AAC and ALAC), OGG, Opus, and WAV straight from disk. Gapless. No streaming, no re-encoding, no DRM. The library index lives in IndexedDB on your machine.
How it installs.
On Windows, run the installer. The EXE is signed; Windows SmartScreen may still warn on a fresh machine until the certificate builds reputation. Click More info → Run anyway and you’re in. Installs per-user, no admin rights. Prefer no install? Pick the portable zip from the Download menu and run WhoPlayedThat.exe from anywhere. On Linux, download the AppImage, chmod +x, and run it. On macOS, open the .dmg and drag the app into Applications, then see the note below about the first launch.
How it updates.
The app checks for updates on launch and downloads them in the background. You never have to revisit this page. It’s only here so the first install has a home.
macOS, first launch.
The Mac builds are not yet signed with an Apple Developer ID, so double-clicking gets you a warning that the app can’t be checked for malicious software. Right-click the app in Applications, choose Open, and confirm. macOS remembers the choice and every launch after that is normal. Signing is coming; it’s a certificate and a notarization step, not a rewrite.
What’s inside.
Personnel as first-class citizens: click a sideman to see every track they appear on. Tag instruments and browse by bassist, drummer, or trumpeter. Smart playlists that refill themselves. Last.fm scrobbling. In-app tag editing including cover art. Send-to-phone over Syncthing. Artist bios pulled from MusicBrainz and Wikipedia.
Source & releases live on GitHub. Bugs and ideas welcome.
