Mine is Strawberry since it has a ton of options and plays a ton of formats. It’s also (distant) fork of Amarok 1.4 and integrates well with KDE Plasma. I’m curious what other people are using these days. What’s your favorite player?

      I use Clementine because it lets me rate my songs. Does Strawberry do that? If it does I’ll give it a try.

    CMUS! I’m surprised more people aren’t using this. It’s very cool, ultra lightweight, and easy to use. Maybe I just like stuff that runs in the console.

    I don’t really love any that I’ve tried so far, but I dislike Audacious the least. FLAC, Musepack, and ReplayGain support are requirements for my library.

    The last one I loved was foobar2000 on Windows, which supplanted Winamp. Linux UIs mostly feel a bit clunky by comparison. When the window has focus I like to have spacebar for pause/play, arrows up/down for primary gain, and arrows left/right for seek.

      YES, foobar2000!

      I also gravitated towards Audacious, but I foobar2000 was 10/10. Might consider running it through Wine, since Audacious is not quite there unfortunately

      I use this with my Jellyfin server, but holy shit has it been wonky. I hit shuffle on my entire library and there’s albums it’s never even played and other with more plays than other albums combined.

        Are you sure it’s a Tauon issue and not a Jellyfin issue? I can’t say I’ve had it mis-report play counts for me but I use it with Navidrome, not Jellyfin - maybe Jellyfin doesn’t follow the Airsonic API as strictly or something?

          Not sure. I’ve got an issue up on the git after I randomly had 30 plays on one song. New album that had been downloaded too.

          This is the wonkiest application though. Feels like early Winamp days again.

    Rhythmbox. It was pre-installed on Ubuntu back when I was on Ubuntu, and I kinda just got used to it. Strawberry looks really cool though, I may have to give it a try

      Rhythmbox is great and works well for editing tags for my 15,000 track library. I went to Lollypop for a while trying to get some more features but I ended up back at Rhythmbox.

      I just have my music collection in Playlist and use Audacious to play them. All the music in the Playlist are saved in relative format so I can just copy the folders and keep the same Playlists

        I ended up writing a perl script to generate a .m3u from a root music directory that shuffles all the subdirs so I can listen to full albums in random order instead of just tracks.

          I did something similar except I wrote a C# program and used AvaloniaUI to build a cross-platform GUI. It was a project to learn C#. I have to make some updates to that now that I think about it…

    Lollypop. Simple interface that shows me album art. I can’t always remember band names or artist names but I know what the damn album cover looks like 👍
