MusicBee Portable

MusicBee Portable, a music manager and player!
"The one downside to MusicBee's feature-richness is that it takes some time to get used to it. While you can ignore most features, you may want to take advantage of at least some of them as they can improve how you play and organize music significantly. This is one of the best music programs for Windows and probably the best all-in-one program you can get your hands on for free." —Martin Brinkmann, ghacks.net (April 21, 2015)
MusicBee is an easy to use music manager and with a comprehensive feature set.
   It can play and convert a wide range of audio formats.
