I use musicbee and I find it to be perfect. Also used plex's Plexamp to stream music to my phone, It genuinely feels premium and is worth the plex pass for this alone. Though I still used pirated .apk anyway lol

I use jellyfin it means I can listen from a bunch of devices and not need to duplicate my files which is handy when you have a large varied music collection

[-] PhasedMoon@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Jellyfin is awesome for both music and video libraries.

Quality? ✅ Performance? ✅ Usability? ✅ Powerful and Vast Add-ons? ✅ Massive DSP? ✅ Good Looking? ❌ (Easy to use UI, but man it looks Windows 98 as hell!)

Foobar2000 is a Fantastic choice if you do not care about the look of your player but only the quality and ease of use. At some point and time I remember Foobar had a ton of custom themes made by the community, but they all were a pain to install or remove. 😅

(I'm not an audiophile by any means, but for me Aimp and MusicBee did sound good as well, but I preferred Foobar since I had more control over DSP and other stuff...)

[-] Harpuajim@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Same here. Set it up once and it's all good.

[-] DarkTides@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Good old foobar is what I use. Sometimes I get weird though and listen with MPC

vlc

why?

it's just what i am used to and have installed, it plays the sound and that's good enough for me

[-] CorrodedCranium@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I found VLC's Android app surprisingly good. It's easy to use folders as playlists and combine playlists if you want. The only issue I've had is I can't figure out how to have VLC auto-add songs I add to folders and how to add thumbnails to playlists

[-] Ataraxia@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Now I'm curious if there is something else I shoukd be using lol. Vlc works well and I only listen to my ancient collection of music on my phone.

[-] knowncarbage@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I'm loving Symfonium streaming via Navidrome/Tailscale, Spotify killer.

Kodi for 10ft interface, mpv or mpv+ranger for desktop/laptop/ssh.

Love this thread! Here is my setup (with some questions for the experts!):

  • For my """HiFi system""" (amp + loudspeakers) I use Moodeaudio in a Raspberry Pi with a HiFiBerry DAC hat, so it is a mpd with modifications reading my FLAC collection from a NAS (an Odroid XU4 with the custom case and a 3TB harddisk drive).

  • Connected to my amp there is an old Mac Mini Server 2011 which I use to download and "curate" music before it goes to the NAS. In macOS, VLC is my preferred way to listen to music, but sometimes I use Tidal to stream music. I tried Pine Player but it is unstable as hell, at least the version that you can install on High Sierra. Any solutions here?

  • I have a Navidrome instance running in my NAS and use Substreamer in my daily drive phone with a external DAC (Truthear) and Truthear Zero IEMs. I need help with Android resampling, how can I avoid it?

  • Also, I use an old iPhone connected to a Headphone Amp that I use as a network streamer. iOS doesn't resample sound :D with Substreamer. The headphone Amp powers an Audio Technica M40x headphones.

[-] FullOfBallooons@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Foobar2000 at home, an old iPod classic on the go

[-] chrisbit@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Symfonium (Android) and Sonixd (Windows) to stream from my self-hosted Navidrome server. Has worked great for me with my 35k song library.

[-] Unmapped@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I use airsonic. So airsonic's webUI when on Desktop and Audinaut(on android) when on the go.

[-] festival8204@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Dsub is still an awesome android app for subsonic. Feel like I need to replace air sonic but haven't found anything that works as well

[-] Unmapped@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah. I seen that air-sonic has not been updated in quite a while. I would be willing to try something new. The only other one I know of is FunkWhale. But that is what I switched from. Airsonic worked a lot better for me. Funkwhale keeps getting updates though.

[-] buckykat@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

At this point I literally just use heavily adblocked youtube for music. Newpipe lets me save local playlists on my phone.

[-] Supermariofan67@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

mpd/ncmpcpp on desktop. Handles an absolutely massive music collection and very large music queue flawlessly.

Vinyl Music Player on Android. It's not perfect but it gets the job done

[-] pirate@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Strawberry is the way to go for linux users. Also Navidrome for streaming to my mobile

[-] Spider89@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago
[-] slowwcore@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

was using this app for the longest time and really enjoyed it, but it had some issues with the metadata on some of my music, which was a shame.

[-] KickMeElmo@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Strawberry on my PC, Poweramp on my phone. Currently I don't stream music.

[-] Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

QMMP (Winamp clone) on Linux

Music Folder Player on Android

[-] FujiTive@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Plexamp on my phone, Plex via browser on my PC since Plexamp for Windows is garbage. Sometimes I still fire up my old iPod classic

[-] DubShinzou@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

also musicbee for windows and simple music player for android, I don´t stream pirated music, I use a deezer modded apk

[-] Rough_N_Ready@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I use plexamp. it's great.

[-] snakesnakewhale@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I've been using MusicBee for a while on desktop and am pretty happy with it. I just set up Jellyfin, so we'll see how that goes -- so far I'm liking it.

[-] MF_@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Winamp my beloved

[-] blupine@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

i used to use musicbee when I was still on windows, but I haven't found a compatible version for my linux distro. I ended up going with quodlibet instead, it has many of the same features and does a pretty good job of making my brain happy :)

[-] podnyatsya@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Elisa is in the KDE suite of applications, so I use that. I used MusicBee in the past, good stuff

[-] synapse1278@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Jellyfish / Finamp

[-] ggt@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Harmonoid is pretty cool (though the dev is a bit of a dick.) Also Metro on Android.

[-] Voltage@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I used Harmonoid too and I found it cool too though it lacks some features compared to other players. What did the dev do tho?

[-] ggt@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Kicked Damon (one of FMHY's mods) after he answered a question in their discord. proof 1 proof 2

(these msgs have since been deleted)

[-] roamingaround@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Ayo didn't know about that, this is some bullshit..

[-] god@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Musicbee on desktop, Musicolet on Android. The latter is honestly amazing feature-wise, lots of cool ways to browse my library.

[-] CumLord02@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Audacious has a very nice neat user interface and just werks on Linux and windows both

[-] Sentinian@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Musicbee for local playback. Used to use plex but I switched to jellyfin and use symfonium on my phone to access it.

BlackPlayer Ex on Android. Worth the price for no ads, but you can, of course, find a pirated APK somewhere.

On Linux, QMMP for casual listening because of its WinAmp skin support and Kodi for a more organized view of my collection.

[-] LocustOfControl@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Foobar2000 (not version 2 yet, the old one works fine and I cba to have to troubleshoot anything).

CloudBeats on Android.

All my music (99% flac) is synced to my nextcloud VPS, which I can stream using CloudBeats.

[-] HectorBarbossa99@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I've been using Foobar on iphone and really like it. May end up getting it on PC as well. Only problem is that if I try to play stuff through my phone to my car via aux the car doesn't recognize any playable media. No issues using it through bluetooth though

[-] Dubois_arache 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Strawberry Music Player. Edit: And before of that, the excellent gmusicbrowser.

[-] Kratos_Aurion@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Plexamp on the go, musicbee at home base

[-] fcuks@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I originally downloaded potplayer because my VLC had this weird issue where non of the UI would show, only the video stream and I couldn't fix it with reinstalls etc. etc.

I absolutely love it, and I recently been using it for listening to audio as well and it does a tidy job at that too. I use rekordbox for formating and organising my music, potplayer for listening to it now and poweramp on my phone.

Just a bonus - I use syncthing to automatically keep my phone music collection always updated with my latest tracks.

[-] Anon5545@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

ncmpcpp on Linux as a mpd frontend. I started using it during the "I want to do everything in the terminal" phase of a linux user, and it kinda grew on me.
