What the f is this program

Guys,
What's the point of having the left side menu if I can't use it to play music. No, I don't want to use a playlist. Who the fuck wants to use a playlist? What percentage of people are you appealing to? A minimum amount.
If I double click an artist on the left side menu, the program should start playing the first song from that artist. The right side menu should change to that artist and should display that artists songs.
This kind of stuff makes me want to go back to Itunes even if my music magically disappears from my HDD like usual. 

When I double click an artist on the left side it just expands the subfolders. Obviously I (The end user) am not a retard, and I know what songs go in each album. I don't need the program to display this when it's easily accessible in my file explorer through windows.

If I want to find a song from a particular album I have to scroll miles down the right side menu. This is terrible design.
What does it take to find a flac capable player that doesn't have 10000000 random features that nobody uses? Just play the music I have on my HDD. Why is this so complicated? Do I have to learn foobar 2000? Why is this process not retard-proofed?

Perhaps 1by1 suits you better.

Or perhaps Peter's other project, Boom:

As for the OP, perhaps do your research on the intended target audience for a software before loudly complaining about features meant for - and very much appreciated by - the target audience. There are various programs out there meant for all kinds of use cases. So is it possible the real problem lies not in the software, but somewhere closer to the keyboard perhaps? I wonder.

If you don't like it, FB2K is almost infinitely configurable and you can change it to do what you want.  That's the whole point.  There are many user-contributed "skins", choose another or create your own.  You may have to make compromises and adjust expectation to some extent, but that's life.

Ultimately, if you really can't get on with what FB2K has to offer, don't use it – nobody's forcing you, and neither have you paid money for it.  Just walk away.

Why is that so obvious?  It's pretty retarded to assume just because you don't like something some way nobody else does either, and then come onto an enthusiast forum to sound off about it as your first post.  What would get a better welcome is to come on and ask how to achieve what you want instead of making ridiculous absolute statements.  Nobody's going to be willing to spend their free time helping you achieve your personal goals if you don't ask nicely.
It's your privilege to disagree, but that doesn't make you right and me wrong.

I agree.  It is sufficiently dubious to be nuked.
