I love this, but I want it as a plain desktop app instead of a server + a web app. I don't want the headaches of self-hosting (regardless of whether it's on the same machine or a different machine on my network or he cloud), I just want to open an application and it works.

https://github.com/clementine-player/Clementine, main website is out of date but the app is still getting releases.
I am a current Clementine user. It is pretty good, but I don't feel it is optimized for collectors with large libraries the way Meelo appears to be. For example, the duplicate finder can't distinguish between the same track that appears on two different albums, e.g. the album it debuted on and a "Greatest Hits" release.

Honest question, why would you want to? What's wrong with having the same song on two different albums in your collection?

Right, it's exactly the opposite of what you're thinking. I want the duplicate finder to NOT report them as duplicates, but it currently does.
