is there an app for mac that plays any music file type

Posted by celinaa on December 27, 2020 at 20:17:05:
hello folks!
looking for an app for a Mac desktop which will allow for all audio files playback.
is this possible without paying for a subscription service?
Accessibility to Apple's screen reading app, VOICE OVER is imporrtant!
J River for mac is a no go as the August 2018 ver did not allow the Mac OS accessibility software to work with it at all.
ALSO it would be great to have one that will incorporate major audio streaming apps like SPODOFY, TIDAL, and maybe Quboz.
I've migrated or 'am migrating' from windows OS to the latest Apple OS 10.14.3 (MOJAVE).
My current physical library (30K or so files) has every concievable music file format. the majority of which (86%) are fLAC & ALAC in 16/44k, with a few AIF, FLAC, and WAV files in HD 24/96, or 24/88.
there are about 5K worth of MP3, WMA and AAC.
I'd vewry much like to be able to open up one app and play all my files and stream music from Spodofy & Tidal as well.
it this what ever app works with mobile devices, great but not necessary.
as for the new service Quboz? Maybe it too,. I was unable to get that one to play at all for what ever reason. Pilot error perhaps.
the only substitute app I've found is VOX and I am using the free version of it presently for unsupported file playback right off the HDD via FINDER.
I'm not opposed to paying for a subscription based media player but would sure like to avoid it with maybe a paid once for app which does not demand recurring periodic payments, if no free alternative exists.
any an all thoughts are quite welcome. Many thanks.
