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.
