Vela – A new music player for Windows

Vela is a new Windows music player currently in development.

The idea is to create a clean and enjoyable music experience with more control over how music sounds.

The interface is completely custom-designed, with both dark and light modes. A lot of attention has gone into making it look clean and feel responsive.

Vela also includes features like a built-in slowed + reverb editor, pitch control, bass boost and other audio customization options.

The application is written in Rust and designed to be lightweight. It's also completely free, with no subscriptions or paid features.

The beta is planned to start in approximately 1–2 weeks. I'm currently preparing the first release and looking forward to getting feedback from people who are interested in trying it.

I'd be interested to hear what you think about the design and what features you'd like to see in a music player.
