Which music player do you run under Linux?

cmus looks interesting and familiar to me as a moc user.

Think they’re pretty similar.

I’ve started getting into moc now. Almost so I like it better than cmus. It has some stuff I like better.

For example, it is better at choosing albums if you have several of the same. Flac and mp3.

Quod Libet.

Quod Libet for me too.

Before that, I used Lollypop (still installed), but it couldn’t play stream links (or I don’t know how to do it). Quod Libet seems closer to foobar2000 (maybe the only program I miss from Windows).

I don’t get AAC to work in MOC. Can someone point me in the right direction? AAC works in all my other music players. Cmus and so on. I don’t have that many AAC files luckily.

it should out of the box … I use cmus ( only quick look for MOC )

from above

Supported file formats are: MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, Musepack (mpc), Speex, Opus, WAVE, those supported by FFmpeg/LibAV (e.g., WMA, RealAudio, AAC, MP4), AIFF, AU, SVX, Sphere Nist WAV, IRCAM SF, Creative VOC, SID, wavpack, MIDI and modplug.

I’ll have to take a look at it. Doesn’t work on mine.

I made it work. I had missed installing moc-ffmpeg plugin.

I use VLC. And I also enjoy Spotify music on Linux. But I use the tool DRmare Music Converter to help me. I use it to convert Spotify for Linux and then move the songs to Linux for listening offline.

I think it would be useful to have another go at this thread from a features perspective. Also, does anyone have a good system for playlist management. I’m getting a bit tired of regenerating all my playlists each time I reinstall my system. Ideally, something portable, although I’m probably asking a lot there.

On my desktop I had been using Lollypop on Gnome. It looks pretty, but I find that every interaction seems to take one click more than should be necessary. Also, the inability to view all song titles in a list is annoying.

On my ARM laptop I had been using vvave. It’s got potential, but it’s buggy as hell.

I think VLC4 is going to be great for music. I’ve tried it a couple of times. It’s not stable yet. I know a lot of people don’t like having it all in one program. Film, music and so on. But if you do everything right, it can be fine.

I use MPD with ncmpcpp and mpc, pretty good setup, especially with a WM or a panel like polybar

I have been using Clementine for a long time but just started with Quod Libet wich also looks nice and sounds better.
I only can’t seem to figure out why both players are unable to find every music-folder.

Been playing around with tags to no avail.
All those unlisted songs are sorted under unknown artists.
