SAUND

Press play once. Music for your whole stream. SAUND is a tiny native Windows player built around one job most apps do badly: play local audio continuously for hours without anyone touching it — gapless, crash-resistant, and light enough to run next to your game and OBS. It doubles as a clean file manager for a messy DJ library.

What it does

• Play once, run for hours — a Rust audio engine queues the next track before the current one ends, so playback is gapless across an entire stream, unattended. Optional crossfade, repeat, and shuffle keep the set going.
• Unattended-safe — a bad or missing file is skipped and logged instead of freezing; if the output device drops it's re-acquired; close it Friday and reopen Saturday to the exact same queue, paused and ready.
• A real file manager for DJs — browse folder crates, move and import tracks, delete safely to the Recycle Bin, find byte-for-byte duplicates, and grade tracks with half-star ratings and rekordbox-style color labels.
• Curation survives a rescan — ratings, colors, and inline tag edits are SAUND-owned, so a library rescan never wipes your work.

Light, native, and yours

A native WASAPI engine idling around 12 MB and near-zero CPU, in shared mode so your game, Discord, and OBS stay audible. A built-in 10-band EQ tunes the output to your room. Fully offline — no subscription, no accounts, no telemetry — and it ships bundled with royalty-safe music, so a streamer can play within seconds of install with no DMCA risk.
