Strawberry or VLC. I wish someone would port Winamp but Strawberry is pretty close. I miss my skins. Showing my age here.
I really enjoy Tauon.
Seconding Tauon!!
Strawberry
Cmus or mixxx
VLC forever and always
Fooyin is my local player, it’s basically Foobar2000.
Finamp is what I use to stream songs from my Jellyfin server.
Gapless
VLC.
But then I’m one of those strange people who doesn’t listen to music much, so maybe I’m missing a trick.
I listen to music a lot, and I also just use VLC. I have a well-sorted media collection and just drag whatever files/folders I want into VLC.
Been using vlc for… 15 years? Maybe more!
Amberol or gapless depending on whether I want to have a built-in library
Sayonara player on desktop.
Lollypop on mobile.
I feel like you just made that up.
HastaLavista on desktop
Locus in mobile.
mpv. I have very simple taste.
Same, but that’s not a dedicated music player.
Same, but that’s not a dedicated music player.
Is it not? May I ask if there is a specific reason?
I will admit I also use mpv like my default video player, but it still is my default audio player and use it like one, with playlists and stuff like that ;)
A dedicated music player would not just play the file, but could organize, show album covers, etc. I don’t use one, like you I use mpv for pretty much everything.
Thx, I had not considered those aspects.
Rhythmbox for me. I was using Spotify for a long time but I’ve been dialing that usage back a lot this year. Another factor was that I have an older PC and when I play games it uses more resources than I’d like. I took the time and setup my playlists in Rhythmbox and I’ve been happy. It’s not winning any design awards but it does the job.
Strawberry, was the first one I got to work with my iPods and that’s my main use case
Fooyin’s great so far.
That’s what I use but honestly I find the UI frustrating. Its difficult to search and make playlists
I came over to Fooyin from Foobar2k, so the UI translated right over.
Feishin, connected to my jellyfin server.
