Is there a good add-on similar to WMC for playing your own music? - michaeljc70 - 2017-12-02
I am looking for a good interface to play my own large (20k) library of music. The built in music is slow and seems ill suited to a library my size (using Pi 3). I also prefer the look and feel of WMC, which I used to use. Is there anything out there? Most searches turn up only streaming add-ons.

No, the built in player is what you want. Not sure why are having problems, I assume you have scanned your library?

I scanned it. I had better luck on my Pi version of Kodi. On Windows it only scanner 5k out of 20k songs. And none of my playlists (m3u with relative references). I started the scan again...we'll see what happens.
Are there any better visualizations other than soundwaves on the screen? I preferred scrolling album art from my collection like WMC.
Edit: I am using the Arctic Zephyr skin which I love but the music part is boring.
