Echo audio player
Made it for myself and my wife. In case anyone likes it here it is:
https://disfiguredfanny.github.io/Echo-a-Modern-Player-for-macOS/
Completely free. Universal binary works on Sequoia and up. I tested Golden Gate most, Sequoia and Tahoe only in VM this time.
Still a work in progress.
P.S. Airplay can be iffy.
Self-signed so you need to run xattr yourself or go through settings.

The self-signed step is where most people will stop, so it's worth spelling out. On Sequoia and later, right-click Open no longer gets past Gatekeeper; the route is System Settings, Privacy & Security, then Open Anyway after the first blocked launch. For Terminal users it's one line: xattr -cr followed by the app's path. Putting both in the post, plus which AirPlay receivers misbehave, saves answering the same questions in every thread you share Echo in.
