My current favorite music player on PC is Quod Libet. It gives a bit of the old FB2K vibe with how its music selection works as well as all the plugins. I use it on Linux, but I know they have a Windows version as well.

MPD and whatever terminal MPD client you like.
LMS + Squeezelite would be my recommendation! Supports local music libraries, podcast subscriptions, last.fm, web radio, and streaming services! LMS would be the server which runs in the background, and Squeezelite would be the player software. Since LMS is a server, you can have other devices in your network use it too!
Also, I highly recommend the Material Skin. It's not just gorgeous visually, but it adds so many extra useful UI features the stock skin doesn't.

What I’ve ended up doing (after being an AIMP user myself) is running a Jellyfin server and then using the Jellyfin app on whichever platform I’m on. Or the browser interface when I don’t want to install on that device.
Haven’t tried scrobbling with this setup, but a quick web search makes it seem like it’s possible.
And you can use the jellyamp app if you are on Android as well. Make sure to join the beta for a better UI
Finamp you mean?
