Winamp or xmmp/qmmp.
Is there winamp for linux?
Winamp is Winamp for Linux. It runs in wine, but a lot of the visualization stuff requires that you have fully integrated your gpu drivers and wine.
Sayonara.
Mpd has always served me well. I use ncccmmmmppp (however its spelled) to manage playlists and such. For album artwork I run sxiv pointed at file in /tmp/. I forget how that part works, actually. I have a grid layout on a second monitor, so I just square up the mpd client and sxiv. Doesn't look too bad.
Semi-related, but as a project I ripped out the pressure/impact pads of an old midi keyboard for use as prev/(pause/unpause)/next buttons, so if the song sucks I can literally punch my desk to skip it.
Firefox (invidious). Its free, no ads, and I dont have to store files locally.
I used to use Strawberry, but my collection has grown enough that I can't just sync it everywhere, so I use Jellyfin now. I still use Strawberry's library management to move files into album artist/album/00 - track.ext
though. Someday I'll dig into id3v2 to just write a script instead.
Don't have one I love. Will have to review these comments!
Currently I use the Jellyfin web UI. Usage-wise it's decent, but I don't love using a browser for music.
Previously I was using mopidy + mopidy-Jellyfin + ncmpdcpp but it broke and I never got around to figuring out why. I didn't particularly enjoy ncmpdcpp. Great piece of software, don't get me wrong, just didn't like the TUI music client experience as thought I would.
Checking out GUI based mpd client ecosystem seems like the next logical step.
I usually listen to music on YouTube when I'm using a computer. When I play my own music, it's from my Plex server with plexamp with a phone. I rarely use the plexamp desktop app.
I wish MediMonkey was on Linux...
Mostly CMUS. Clementine on rare occasions.
Amberol for its simplicity and esthetics
Spotify-wayland on hyprland. And I also definetly dont have SpotX-bash, a great spotify adblocker installed!
Considering that I'm using Emby (selfhost), it's able to manage my music collection too and I can play the music from the web player exposed by it.
Dolphin + mpv for me so I can see the album covers and metadata and see whats available, if I have a specific song in mind, then ill just use the terminal and mpv.
I really like Elisa.
I mostly use it to listen to music that's not in my Jellyfin library yet but it does that beautifully.
I used to download my music with NewPipe and listen to it on Musicolet, but since then, i just gave up and got a cracked spotify client
I have to say Supersonic.
It's a Subsonic player that integrate with my Airsonic instance in Docker.
It requires a backend like Airsonic, Navidrome etc. It's not a stand alone player.
Plexamp all the way, easily the sexiest music player I've found so far. All my music is FLAC pulled from Deezer, and since I've got a very large list of artists tracked, it's super easy to discover new music with the radio and sonic analysis features. It's also got a last.fm integration, which gives me more data than Spotify would about my listening habits.
The only feature I'm really missing in it is collaborative playlists. I can share playlists out to anyone on my Plex server, but they can't add or remove songs.
On Windows, I like Plexamp since I can keep all my music on a Plex server and access it whereever. There's a Linux version but I haven't tried it on Linux yet.
i use foobar because i can't live without dolby headphone
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
