## What it is
Wora is an open-source, cross-platform desktop music player designed for audiophiles, built with Electron and Next.js. It plays lossless formats like FLAC and WAV, supports playlist management, synced lyrics, and a command-menu quick play interface.

## Use cases
- play flac and wav lossless music files on desktop
- organize local music library with playlists
- view synced lyrics while listening to music
- find a beautiful open-source music player for macos or windows
- quickly search and play tracks with a command menu

## When to choose
- you want a polished, open-source lossless music player on macOS, Windows, or Linux
- you need FLAC/WAV playback with playlist and lyrics support
- you prefer a modern Electron-based UI over minimal players

## When to avoid
- you need active development right now - the project is migrating to a Tauri version and only critical fixes are merged
- you want streaming services integration rather than local file playback
- you need a lightweight native player without Electron overhead
