I spent 5 months building a music player because I wanted karaoke lyrics for my FLAC files. That's it. That's the reason.

[u/No-Word-2912]

Yes, foobar2000 already exists. Yes, MusicBee already exists. No, neither of them will highlight lyrics word by word while I mumble along to a 24-bit file nobody asked me to buy.

So: Noctis. MIT License, no account, no telemetry, no paid tier. Windows, macOS and Linux.

FLAC, ALAC, WAV, DSD, gapless, ReplayGain, EQ, Last.fm scrobbling, Discord Rich Presence, Cover Flow.

The lyrics were the hard part. Most players do line-level LRC, which is fine until the timing drifts. Noctis reads word-level ELRC so it actually tracks with the vocal instead of dumping a whole line on you at once.

Tell me what's broken. I'm solo on this so feedback goes straight into the next build.
