'Is there a better programming language to approach media playback programs?

I have experience in java and c++ but I haven't worked on anything media-related. I'm about to start a small project for myself where I need to cache media files (sound) in mp3 or other widespread formats or links to play and mix.

the required goals are:

  • to cache more than one track
  • having a primary track playing as a queue, with transition in between
  • being able to play other small tracks (eg 3 seconds sound effects) while the playing track is still going
  • able to link my Spotify if possible if not youtube and cache the music/sound effect. (meaning from links)

is there a language better suited for media playback/caching media?

I intend to use this program on a windows laptop, locally. and if possible later add an ios version for the program, (i do not currently know swift)
