Alternative to iTunes 12

[MacScout]

Looking for a good alternative to iTunes 12 or a way to make iTunes 12 useable....

Currently I have about 1TB of music, which has rendered my iTunes library pretty unusable since I updated from iTunes 10 to 11 back in 2013(?)
iTunes 12 is just more of the same.

Finally getting fed-up of not accessing my library because of the immense lag time in searches and playback (average 3-5 second delay in every command)
It's not like this if I have a small library on another computer.

I have tried turning off features in iTunes which connect to the internet, but none seem to have helped.

Also, a pain in iTunes 11/12 is that I can't double-click a playlist and open in a new window. Is this possible?

I use iTunes to archive songs, create playlists for radio broadcasts and connect with RadioLogik software for Automation playback while on-air.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is what I get for trying to post from a small device.
Sorry.

"Also, a pain in iTunes 11/12 is that I can't double-click a playlist and open in a new window. Is this possible?"

I have been researching and asking for solutions about this for months. I've yet to find anything helpful.

A very useful feature that was taken away.

You have all your smart playlists dumbed down?
They can be real time-eaters.

iTunes 11 went single window, which is a big part of the reason I've stuck to 10.

What about plex, does playlists also? Or VLC for playing of songs?

Elmedia Player might be worth taking a look at. It does a lot more than music, but it's probably worth taking a look at. They offer a free and a pro version.
