By the way, since you wrote that the FLAC stream is also set up for you and MusicBee doesn't show artist/title info either for FLAC, I'm gonna mention that I wrote a script for Windows 10 to send desktop notifications with RP main song artist/title when each song starts. Check it out if you use Win 10:

Musicbee is not bad, it has a nice UI. One thing throws me off is that the EQ degrades the sound quality on a very noticeable level. So far nothing could beat Foobar2000 for me.

MusicBee is the best music playing client I have used to date.     Still light.  Rips CDs easily to mp3 or FLAC files.  

Currently playing RP on the AAC 320 stream via MusicBee.  Also have the FLAC stream set up.   

I love the way it allows you to organize albums.   You can play in Theatre mode or Visualizer mode and within each mode, there are lots of choices such as artists pictures.  Lyrics area also available.   All gratis.   You have to be a little careful with naming if you want both mp3 and FLAC versions of the same album/CD in the library but that is not too difficult.  So much better/nicer than foobar2000.  

The visuals do not compare to RP's stunning slide shows but are still pretty decent.    I recommend it.   But would love to hear about even better clients.
