Is it?

The Win10 edition is the same as the other, but with all the menus and options removed. It was never something I found useful or attractive. The only thing added is a visualization that shows images ind titles, and that's useless if I'm not looking at it.
So I looked at the skins on that page. There are fewer than 150 of them, and most of them change colors and buttons and/or remove functions. Most are only interested in playing video (and I want the interface gone while that happens) or adding gimmicky art to the interface. Circles and blobs are not efficient use of space.

I see nothing that will present the Music folder in a clean yet useful manner. Artist> Albums with art and info> tracks with info. Heck, iTunes did a better job of it last time I saw that, years ago. The few I tried hid access entirely unless I wanted to load individual files and not see them, or play everything in a folder and still not see the files.
