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 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.

      Same here, I migrated from Windows more than a year ago and like everything about Linux (Mint). But I really miss my Foobar 2000. I customized it for years, it was such a powerfull, versatile, elegant tool. I tried lots of players, converters und taggers, even tinkered with Deadbeef a couple times but it isn’t as polished and feature-rich. Converting music and editing audio-tags still feels very clumsy and restricted to me and isn’t nearly as fun and powerful as it used to be with Foobar in Windows.

      If you are not opposed to payed software, you could check out JRiver MediaCenter. I used that heavily on Windows back in the day and continued using it on Linux once they offered native builds.

    On Gnome, G4Music, because it looks great and integrates well with the rest of Libadwaita apps.

    On KDE, Elisa, because it’s pretty minimalist and does what it should.

    But I don’t have much long term experiences with both, since I mostly use Spotify/ Spottube.

    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.
