My laptop uses an HDD too, startup times are bearable for me as I've disabled its indexing features (by removing the folders under the "Choose where to look for music" setting). My needs are simple: I just need an MP3 track to play when I double-click on it, I have no intention to bother setting up a dedicated media system in the age of Spotify. Groove does the job, and it even shows a nice, minimalist and no-frills UI while at it.
