What’s the Best Way to Start Building Projects as a Beginner?

I've just wrapped up the basics of C++ and I'm eager to take my programming skills to the next level by building my own project. However, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed! I noticed there are tons of unique project ideas out there that seem really complex. For instance, if I wanted to create a music player, where do I even begin? How do I figure out which libraries to use? Do I just Google things like "C++ libraries for music players" or search YouTube for tutorials on how music players work? I'm just worried I might end up missing out on crucial details and end up with an incomplete project. Any advice would be really appreciated to help me navigate this process!
