I am looking for an MP3 player that will run on Windows 10 platform. I have some programming skills but way out of date! (I am 78 and the last serious program I wrote as in VB6!)

The specification of the MP3 player:
A fixed playlist of up to 8 clickable tunes to be displayed on screen.

Instant playing of a track on clicking on the list item. I will need to control the sound with only a volume control, a Stop button, a fade to silence & stop. (a pause control will never be needed)

Once a track is played or terminated via the stop or fade to silence, no automatic 'Play next track' is wanted. The only way a track will be played will be a deliberate click on the track title (or a play button next to the title)

If anyone could point me to a solution that would be suitable for me to 'play' with and modify to those simple but specific needs, I would be most obliged. Thanks you.
So Mote It Be...

What I have tried:

I have tried doing it in Adobe Flash but I cannot get a flash to play on any of my laptops.

Hi Griff
Thanks for the welcome back! and thanks for the reply. I did have a look at the first one you suggested before posting my query. The only thing that made me hesitate was having to add-in Bass stuff. I will give a serious look ate the three you suggest and thanks for the comments.

Have a look at some of these:
MP3 Player for Windows 7[^]
A Simple C# Player Mp3 with NAudio[^]
A very simple MP3 Player[^]

You'll be unlikely to find any VB6 specific stuff these days - it's been superseded for a very long time!

I'd suggest that you look at learning C#: modern VB uses the same .NET framework, and looks so similar to VB6 that you'll fall into bad habits that aren't compatible with "modern" paradigms. C# is easy enough and there are plenty of learning resources available for it. Like VB, it's a part of Visual Studio, which is available free from Microsoft in the Community Edition.

Good luck - and welcome back!
