Hello guys,
I’m looking for a music player, I have checked some wikis but none of those give me their personal opinion of the music players thus I would like to know your experience. Currently I am using musikcube as I just though it would look since since it can use your terminal colorscheme and I have also used Cue.
Anyway, what music player would you recommend for someone who has thousands of songs and wishes to create playlists seamlessly. Thanks in advance
As any person that lives under a rock I barely blinked and everyone was using streaming services while I kept half of my hard drive full of pirated mp3 and never got to understand why people fell for that trap. I really like MPD, though when it goes yolo it’s a pain in the butt to re-configure it.
I used ncmpcpp for like 10 years (or even more, but I can’t recall) but only a couple years ago re-discovered ncmpc and liked its minimalism (compared to ncmpcpp, that is). Even wrote a couple stupid patches to change the default progress bar.
But a few weeks ago learned about mmtc. Which is written in rust.
I didn’t have rust installed and the 12 GB of RAM weren’t enough to compile rust in my Gentoo box so I used this as an excuse to buy more RAM. And then compiled rust and it took a bit more of an hour so I could use this shiny “new” MPD player. Only to discover its so minimal it doesn’t have an database update function - the author literally says you have to set a key combination to call mpc to do so.
My family fell for it, and it is really hard to convince them otherwise.

They are probably referring to the streaming services bit
