While I like Strawberry as a music player, keep in mind that since a few releases you can’t download it for free on windows anymore, so that’s something OP needs to consider. In the download page it is stated “Access to macOS and Windows releases are currently restricted to sponsors, a 5 USD monthly sponsorship is required.” Further down it also explains why. Iirc KDE’s Elisa music player should work on windows too, so it is something worth at least checking out if one doesn’t want to pay for Strawberry.

I agree with you and the confusion which may arise with linux file system’s nomenclature if one isn’t used to it. However how many non tech-savy people would venture outside of /home? In my experience, a lot of people I know have no idea of what C: is and usually browse trough the usual documents, music, downloads and so on; in this case a user’s home folder would virtually give them the same experience. If someone wants to go a little bit deeper, at one point has to understand that we are talking about different OSes and cannot expect everything to be 100% the same and should start learning what those differences are.
