Which music player do you run under Linux?

General system Gaming, sound and video
241

I just installed LollyPop.
But it’s too fancy for me. The whole web stuff is just annoying, sorry …

But the equalizer is nice …

242

I use good old quodlibet just showing the artist/track title/track duration. Sometimes I use G4music for variety, but lately it has failed playing some tracks randomly. For the time being, I’ve returned to Amberol instead when I want to use something slightly fancier.

243

That’s totally ok. Some like it simpler. I like it when my musicplayer also plays radio streams and also downloads missing album covers. But you are right that the whole last.fm and musicbrainz stuff is really annoying. I hardly do not thinking of it, sorry :wink:

244

audacious, its the closest ive found to rhythmbox that looks native on plasma

245

Just found out about the pragha music player and it looks great

Lots of good options, for now im testing strawberry and audacious. Im on kde so i try to use apps that mesh well with it. Also, all kde apps are great. When i have to be on windows i use foobar2000…

247

Recently switched from VLC to cmus and I’ve been really digging it.

hey welcome @RSta :enos:
sad to see guayadeque gone… webside seems already offline by now… AUR build still exist… but will be getting non-working with time…

I do fall back on basic mpd and mpdevil (mainly only to create playlists)

I use Cider for accessing my Apple Music Library. Besides my Linux based Gaming Rig I am quite stuck in the Apple ecosystem…cause it just works :grimacing:

252

how did you get album art to display so nice? :smiley:

253

Museeks. AUR. Plays music and organizes it. No pyrotechnics or flashing or beeping or seizure-inducing. Or skins. Or any kind of context menus. Or album art, In fact I forget how to get music into it sometimes.
If you are absolutely bored and unimpressed with complexity, there is this:

Latest Plexamp seems to have some issues. Keyboard shortcuts aren’t working and the AUR version is stuck in a “play next” loop, just keeps switching song repeatedly, very fast and is not responsive.

255

I used audacious in the past but lately have been using just vlc for audio and video files.

256

Audacious for audio, VLC for video and Timidity for midi.

257

Quod Libet for playing music. Beets for organizing it. MusicBrainz Picard for cleaning up and tagging.

258

Most of my life I used Foobar in Windows and since I moved to Linux I very quickly settled on Audacious.

I am however quite liking Elisa this last month or so.

I do like how when you go to make a post it tells you of similar posts. Leads to a bit of necro posting but at least it’s tidy.

259

Seems guayadeque is back! Phew… :smiling_face_with_tear: Wouldn’t have liked to live without it.

Thanks to @anonbeat for years of maintaining, and to @thothix for picking it up again.

AIMP 5 (no installer) using wine, works perfectly for me, I’m more of “double click” on music files than manage albums.
