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?
Quod Libet is my current favorite. It gives me a lot of the features and layout I used in Foobar2000 in Windows and isn’t gigantic.
I like G4Music, beautiful and straightforward
MPD + Cantata
For the most part I just lump all my music into one playlist regardless of album or genre, but day to day I also use several different computers, and I find MPD to be the best for syncing configurations across all of them. Cantata also allows me to see album artwork and track information really easily and has good touchscreen support compared to terminal-based MPD clients.+1 for Cantata! Although it’s not maintained, there’s really nothing missing from it. It’s complete as it is! Plays anything and you can also have your podcasts and web radio stations in it.
Quod Libet
Still awesome!
Clementine
I use Sonixd as the frontend to my Navidrome server, and it’s the bees knees.
Logitech Media Server, followed by strawberry, quod libet, rhythmbox
Quod libet starts to act funny with 50,000 flac collections. Rhythmbox too. LMS is still chugging at 100k and I can get it on any room in the house, across 2 clients on computers, 2 on raspberry pi and my android phone. If I want to listen to 24/96+, Strawberry can handle it all although I haven’t warmed up to the interface.
Rythmbox. Syncs to my iPod Classic.
I wish RhythmBox can sync with my iPhone so I don’t need to rely on expensive or semi working MP3 Player app on App Store to listen to music
I usually listen to music on YouTube when I’m using a computer. When I play my own music, it’s from my Plex server with plexamp with a phone. I rarely use the plexamp desktop app.
Strawberry if I had to have something visual with buttons.
cmus right now because it loads my rather large library in a split second. mpd works great as well.
More important than the player for me is sorting, though. Beets is my saviour. I could never sort the 5 or 6 albums I get by hand and tag them by hand.
I used to like deadbeef as well, quod libet is great. There really is something for everyone when it comes to something for music. If only there were as many great email clients.
vim
Mom: switch that off!
Kid: I can’t!
I wish MediMonkey was on Linux…
On Windows, I like Plexamp since I can keep all my music on a Plex server and access it whereever. There’s a Linux version but I haven’t tried it on Linux yet.
I’m a fan of cmus. simple and easy.
