I'm a little surprised that anyone still plays music on their computer. Surely now we've moved into the era where we all have dedicated devices for that. Your phone for 99.9% of people, I'd imagine. And for the audiophiles there's a bunch of very high quality DAPs to pick from.

I can see why, when I work/focus, I like to use my computer instead of my phone because that's where my headphones are connected (easy switch for meetings, etc.) and I generally like to be nice to my phone battery.

My own software on a raspberrypi, a bluetooth receiver on my yamaha amp and my phone between the two. Simple setup, a joy to use.

Plex. Connected to a digital audio input. Or, chromecast compatible audio equipment. Tidal does this too.

Yes, I am surprised too. I moved back to MC and vinyl years ago.

Well, I play music on my computer when I'm working on my computer. Nicer interface and I don't have to swap headphones or whatever when going to a video meeting.
