Rythmbox or Lollypop… 
Strawberry. May have done something wrong with that reply …
I also like minimalist. But I love VLC. However, VLC 3 is not good for music. Will change in VLC 4. I have tested it a bit. It is not stable yet unfortunately.
I have tested Strawberry in Linux and Windows. I’m not sold on Strawberry! Too messy and too much unnecessary stuff for my taste!
I still have not found a replacement for AIMP for Windows for Linux yet 
cmus for Linux is okay. But sometimes you want something nice to look at when you go through albums and artists in a music player.

As I had to do a fresh install of EndeavourOS due to HDD failure, I was looking for an audio player which is faster with bigger music collections (more than 50k tracks) than the ones I used to use. Since I don’t use/need any streaming services (I share SweSG’s old school view) I gave Goggles Music Manager (no, it’s not a typo 
) a chance. It fits my needs perfectly. Nice GUI, not bloated and very fast. No need to build it from AUR because it’s provided in the official Repositories.

With KDE I use audacious (qt), with Xfce I use DeaDBeeF (gtk).

I think I go with Strawberry! I have been running it for a few days and am starting to learn it. There is a lot to love about it. It is not so beautiful, but works well. Which is the most important thing. Like that it is available as AppImage as well. Yep, AppImage is my favorite when it comes to applications.
However, I hope VLC comes out soon with VLC4 which works much better for music. I really like VLC and it would be nice if you could bake music into this media player in a good way.

My entire music library is in .flac files. From the terminal I use either flac123 or moc. For a QT base, Audacious and in XFCE I run Deadbeef. Although Clementine is starting to grow on me.

Strawberry also for me. It’s the only one I have found which can deal well with a big FLAC library (1.5 Tera) and allows me to sort the music by genre, then artist, then album. Also great sound…
If not, then Quod Libet is my second choice. (It indexes the music quicker, but I prefer Strawberry display). And I use Ex Falso to tag the Flac files.

audacious -Hq “$(find ~/data/music/ -name “*” | sort | dmenu -i -l 10)”
Player is headless, quits when done playing, is controllable via media controls and accepts single tracks, directories, cue sheets and playlists.
All i need.

moc

I have been using MOC exclusively for several years now. I really love its simplicity. I also like to fool around with equaliizer settings and wrote a function to make them according to polynomial shapes and to experiment with overlap in bands. I have not come up with much better than standard settings but it does teach me a bit about how these equalizers work. I can’t really see myself switching to another player anytime soon.

Well, terminal-based music players work great in Linux. Just tested MOC. Usually run cmus normally.
I like MOC too!
