Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: Dopamine is praised for its modern interface and extensive features, like fetching synced lyrics and being open source, but it faces criticism for high RAM usage and lack of advanced audio output features. Some users find it less suitable for lightweight needs compared to alternatives like Foobar2000 or facing issues like difficulty in managing playlists. Overall, while appreciated for its aesthetics and continuous updates, some users seek more lightweight or feature-rich alternatives.

Is there a way to transfer the "loved" status of your songs to another computer? It doesn't alter the metadata of the file and I don't know where it stores that information or if it would even be possible to transfer it.

One of the best and sleekest music players I've ever used.

Another bloated and below mediocre Electron app - 350 MB (!!!!) in system, abridged functions, half-working. Predictably glitched at indexing my huge m4a music library, Windows 10. Not recommended, of course, Electron apps must burn in hell. Good freeware alternatives: MusicBee, Tuniac, VOV Music, Strawberry and so on.

Finally, a modern usable music player. I also love that it shows my folder-based playlist. Thus, I do not need to create them again.
