Strawberry or VLC. I wish someone would port Winamp but Strawberry is pretty close. I miss my skins. Showing my age here.
I really enjoy Tauon.
Seconding Tauon!!
Strawberry
Seconding this. I used foobar2000 until I switched to Linux, and Strawberry has been the best replacement I’ve found (actually better imo)!
Only downside is no DSD support.
VLC forever and always
Cmus or mixxx
Fooyin is my local player, it’s basically Foobar2000.
Finamp is what I use to stream songs from my Jellyfin server.
Gapless
VLC.
But then I’m one of those strange people who doesn’t listen to music much, so maybe I’m missing a trick.
I listen to music a lot, and I also just use VLC. I have a well-sorted media collection and just drag whatever files/folders I want into VLC.
Been using vlc for… 15 years? Maybe more!
mpv. I have very simple taste.
Same, but that’s not a dedicated music player.
Same, but that’s not a dedicated music player.
Is it not? May I ask if there is a specific reason?
I will admit I also use mpv like my default video player, but it still is my default audio player and use it like one, with playlists and stuff like that ;)
A dedicated music player would not just play the file, but could organize, show album covers, etc. I don’t use one, like you I use mpv for pretty much everything.
Thx, I had not considered those aspects.
Rhythmbox for me. I was using Spotify for a long time but I’ve been dialing that usage back a lot this year. Another factor was that I have an older PC and when I play games it uses more resources than I’d like. I took the time and setup my playlists in Rhythmbox and I’ve been happy. It’s not winning any design awards but it does the job.
Amberol or gapless depending on whether I want to have a built-in library
Strawberry, was the first one I got to work with my iPods and that’s my main use case
I’ve been happy with Strawberry so far. The default music player in Gnome is okay-ish but I wanted a music player that can be set up with multiple music folders and Strawberry can do that.
Fooyin’s great so far.
That’s what I use but honestly I find the UI frustrating. Its difficult to search and make playlists
I came over to Fooyin from Foobar2k, so the UI translated right over.
