What local players do you use? I haven't found a good one on Windows so I just use the default (formerly Groove Music).
I like Audacious. The UI does not look modern but that's not something I care about. It has every feature I need, it's lightweight and does not have any telemetry.
I'm still using an older version of Winamp. It supports pretty much every audio format ever, visualizations, and has an excellent media library format. There is a new Winamp, but I haven't tried it.
I also use VLC, which supports fewer formats, but supports all the major ones out of the box and is open source and under active development.
