Dusk Player

A minimalistic music player, designed for simplicity. Built on electron, uses Howler for handling music playback, AngularJS and Bootstrap for the frontend, and jsmediatags to retrieve the ID3 tags.

This can also serve as a starting point to implement your own front-end/UI for a music Player.
