what music player does /g/ use and why is it not strawberry? >plays cds (on linux)>cover manager is good if you have autism for alternate covers>comfystreamfags need not apply
>>108917288i use mpd on a rpi3b hooked up to my house stereo with rompr as a front end so i can play music from any device on my network.
I use cmus because I don't need more
mpv
Does this player discount "The" at the beginning of artist or album names when sorting alphabetically?
winampstarted using it on win98 and it still works so I still use it
>>108917288>full screen music playerno. look at all that wasted space.
>>108917288foobar2000. The only reason why I use Wine.
>>108917676show pic
>>108917288i run a script that parses my music as albums via dmenu into mpv.https://github.com/nsbgn/scripts/blob/master/dmenu-mpv
>>108917407I can't get it to run on Win11 so I had to start using Foobar2000.
>>108917288mpv in the terminal. I know it's overkill, but I prefer it this way.
>>108917288I just use VLC, it works well enough. Not sure what the current state of VLC is though, my copy is from 2020.
>>108917791There's nothing to show, I use the ugly default Wine theme and a preset layout. I just use it because I haven't found another player that sorts by more than one property (such as artist name + reverse release date)
>>108917288mpvwhy even have a playlist if the filesystem is the playlist
>>108917361No
>>108918005DOA

I use Clementine on Windows 10 and Strawberry on Arch Linux.I don't really think there's a good music player on Linux, but Strawberry at least makes an effort to have decent UI.
>>108917288Back when i was on linux I used audacious and on windows I use foobar2kBoth are really good and both have playback rate/ pitch shift
>>108917288Monkeybee or whatever is called. Musicbee
>>108917288Audacious. Bonus: gtk2. :)
cmusPowerAmpI don't need anything more.
Gapless. I mostly gave up finding a music player on Linux that has both the features I want and doesn't look like it was made in 2002.Are there any modernish looking music players on Linux that has decent support for browsing by folders or custom playlists?
Amarok.It used to be better in the KDE4 days (eg it could show upcoming live gigs of the band I’m listening to), but since it got revived it’s been my go-to.I mostly use the dynamic playlists.
I use supersonic on my computers and symphonium on my phone. Both connect to my instance of Navidrome and look/feel great to me.

>>108918005>>108918040nice taste anon, that album is the shit
>>108917288Based fellow Ween enjoyer. I use Strawberry on my beefiest machines, and Qmmp on everything else. Both are superb.
>>108918368There's a bunch of eye candy players on Linux but they are still lacking many features. Amberol, Gapless, Lollypop, GNOME Music, Plattenalbum, Euphonica, Vinyl.
I don't anymore. I listen to my collection from navidrome in my car or on my stereo.
>>108920042Arpeggi
>>108917288Aimp on Winblows and some USB DAC player on Android
>>108917288i use cmus in artix linux
FOOBAR2000
>>108918072I used to use iTunes on Windows (yes), and was surprised that Linux didn't have a similarly simple option that handled my fairly simple needs. I installed Quod Libet a couple years ago or so, but it crashed all the time, enough that I never really got to give it a solid try. I use Strawberry now, but it's got some annoying behaviors for sure, even though the interface is fairly clean and the performance is usually good.- skipping to near the end of a track sometimes causes it to lose the buffer/audio for the current track entirely, you have to change to a different one- no keyboard shortcut to permanently delete a track, or even change/add most bindings- deleting tracks causes them to become holes in playlists, rather than removing them from the playlists as well (the "remove unavailable" doesn't seem to do anything here)- no option to automatically set a playlist as uniques-only, you have to manually remove duplicates- you can't just play a playlist, you have to open it as a tab first. So if you have a bunch of playlists that you want to keep open, you get a bunch of miniscule tabs open- no "date added (to library)" fieldAnd a bunch of other things. On the other hand, having all of the library and info in a sqlite database is great.
i cant get last.fm to work in strawberry

>>108917288>plays cds (on linux)Is it though? Last time when I tried to play audio CD (mounted with cdemu) it shat itself while VLC was playing it just fine.But I don't see the point of playing audio CD in 2026. First thing you must do when you get your hands on an audio CD is to rip it to flac, putting it back into case and using it as a decoration in a CD rack.
>>108917407>>108917869>listening music on wangblowsUnless you're using ASIO or Wasapi Exclusive (which Winamp doesn't support) it sound like shit. Meanwhile Pipewire just works.
>>108917361It has a toggle for that behavior
>>108923722my dude I use bluetooth noise cancelling headphones to block out a/c compressor noise for half the year, I do not care about 100% audiophile grade output
mixxx but you need some scripts and wrangle the ui to make it look like a normal music player.
>>108917288fooyinNot quite on feature parity with foobar2000, but it's damn close.
>>108917288jellyfin-tui for the nice and simple UI, and mpv backend
AIMP
>>108917288mpv with a visualizer plugin for basic listening and mixxx to have extra fun with the tracks you listened during the week.
>>108925265what visualizer is this?
>>108925287https://github.com/DonCanjas/mpv-visualizeri like it a lot. it has some other modes as well and you'll need to config the screen ratio manually to not have it be a thin bar in the middle but it's really the perfect balance of pretty and practical imho.
>>108925287it even does color but i dont know why, it gets more colorful on piano or trumpet than guitars, saxes or synths.
>>108925391the showcqt colors mean panning: left=yellow, right=cyan
>>108923768That's an odd way of telling everyone that you're retarded
>>108917288I use Navidrome + Tempus to str**m my collection when I'm outside the house but since I listen to a lot of music outside it has all my playlists and ratings. I wish there was a good Subsonic-compatible desktop client for Linux.
>>108917288Time for an history lesson anon, first there was Amarok and it was good, but development was slow so it was forked into a fruit named new music player but after a couple of years it got abandoned too, so it was forked and so on until you reach the currently fruit named music player called strawberry which will also get abandoned in a couple of years.Amarok is still around though.
