I’ve been using Strawberry for my local music for a bit, might not be the most modern looking, but I’d say it’s decent. You can set folders to be scanned, and if you double click an artist’s folder in the “collection” menu it’ll add all their songs to the queue in whatever order you’re sorting by. It’ll at least remember the last played song, so just pressing play should start that song assuming you didn’t clear the queue. Doesn’t seem to remember how far into the song you were before closing it if that’s what you’re after though.
