I've been looking for something like this for months, ever since I switched from Windows for work. I miss foobar2000
The developers of Foobar2000 released a Mac app recently [1], not under active development and with very limited functionality but I hope for more. [1] https://www.foobar2000.org/mac

Some really nice folks are trying to figure out the whole "not iTunes" issue - it's called hyperamp: https://github.com/hypermodules/hyperamp

You can drag it and move it wherever you want. I usually put mine in the top 2/3rds of my screen as I'm a habitual +space
Fun fact: if you press and hold the spotlight icon in the menu bar, the spotlight window is reset to its default position.

I never understood why Apple always hides functionality beneath undiscoverable gestures. Especially on iOS where once I had a friend complain that they cannot see the time that a message was sent or received. I had to show them to hold and swipe so they can see the hidden column of times. I guess they don’t want to clutter up at the interface with things like labels and options.
But sometimes a quick look at the manual is all that's needed,
> Tip: To see what time a message was sent or received, drag a bubble to the left.

The problem is, it takes away from power usage, and now that's a lot of users alienated. Another example is the three button mouse. Steve didn't want any buttons at all, remember, but settled on one. So we have command-x/c/v instead of left click select and middle click paste like in X windows.
