Strawberry is the way to go for linux users. Also Navidrome for streaming to my mobile
I use jellyfin it means I can listen from a bunch of devices and not need to duplicate my files which is handy when you have a large varied music collection
Jellyfin is awesome for both music and video libraries.
Still at foobar2000 :)
Same here. Set it up once and it's all good.
Quality? ✅ Performance? ✅ Usability? ✅ Powerful and Vast Add-ons? ✅ Massive DSP? ✅ Good Looking? ❌ (Easy to use UI, but man it looks Windows 98 as hell!)
Foobar2000 is a Fantastic choice if you do not care about the look of your player but only the quality and ease of use. At some point and time I remember Foobar had a ton of custom themes made by the community, but they all were a pain to install or remove. 😅
(I'm not an audiophile by any means, but for me Aimp and MusicBee did sound good as well, but I preferred Foobar since I had more control over DSP and other stuff...)
Plexamp on my phone, Plex via browser on my PC since Plexamp for Windows is garbage. Sometimes I still fire up my old iPod classic
winamp ftw
I'm loving Symfonium streaming via Navidrome/Tailscale, Spotify killer.
Kodi for 10ft interface, mpv or mpv+ranger for desktop/laptop/ssh.
Same. Symfonium has the most polish of the subsonic apps I tried. Don't miss Spotify at all.
Are you using the warwickh Kodi plugin? It's been working pretty well for me.
Sticking with Sonixd for desktop for now but watching the development of Feishin (MPV).
Plexamp on the go, musicbee at home base
vlc
why?
it's just what i am used to and have installed, it plays the sound and that's good enough for me
I found VLC's Android app surprisingly good. It's easy to use folders as playlists and combine playlists if you want. The only issue I've had is I can't figure out how to have VLC auto-add songs I add to folders and how to add thumbnails to playlists
Now I'm curious if there is something else I shoukd be using lol. Vlc works well and I only listen to my ancient collection of music on my phone.
also musicbee for windows and simple music player for android, I don´t stream pirated music, I use a deezer modded apk
Colibri Lossless under macOS, Foobar under Windows
Harmonoid is pretty cool (though the dev is a bit of a dick.) Also Metro on Android.
I used Harmonoid too and I found it cool too though it lacks some features compared to other players. What did the dev do tho?
Kicked Damon (one of FMHY's mods) after he answered a question in their discord.
(these msgs have since been deleted)
Ayo didn't know about that, this is some bullshit..
Strawberry on my PC, Poweramp on my phone. Currently I don't stream music.
Melodista works well for me.
Feishin on windows, Symfonium (paid) on android, both using jellyfin for the files
AIMP mainly on android
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.symfonik.music.player
For android this is definitely the way to go
Audacious has a very nice neat user interface and just werks on Linux and windows both
Musicbee on desktop, Musicolet on Android. The latter is honestly amazing feature-wise, lots of cool ways to browse my library.
QMMP (Winamp clone) on Linux Music Folder Player on Android
Winamp my beloved
mpd/ncmpcpp on desktop. Handles an absolutely massive music collection and very large music queue flawlessly.
Vinyl Music Player on Android. It's not perfect but it gets the job done
Foobar2000 at home, an old iPod classic on the go
I use airsonic. So airsonic's webUI when on Desktop and Audinaut(on android) when on the go.
Dsub is still an awesome android app for subsonic. Feel like I need to replace air sonic but haven't found anything that works as well
Yeah. I seen that air-sonic has not been updated in quite a while. I would be willing to try something new. The only other one I know of is FunkWhale. But that is what I switched from. Airsonic worked a lot better for me. Funkwhale keeps getting updates though.
At this point I literally just use heavily adblocked youtube for music. Newpipe lets me save local playlists on my phone.
I use plexamp. it's great.
i used to use musicbee when I was still on windows, but I haven't found a compatible version for my linux distro. I ended up going with quodlibet instead, it has many of the same features and does a pretty good job of making my brain happy :)
Elisa is in the KDE suite of applications, so I use that. I used MusicBee in the past, good stuff
Musicbee for local playback. Used to use plex but I switched to jellyfin and use symfonium on my phone to access it.
I stream it everywhere via Plex. Previously I used MusicBee on Windows, AIMP on Android, and Strawberry on Linux.
AIMP on Android, and I highly recommend it.
Rhythmbox, it is a really good gtk music player
I originally downloaded potplayer because my VLC had this weird issue where non of the UI would show, only the video stream and I couldn't fix it with reinstalls etc. etc.
I absolutely love it, and I recently been using it for listening to audio as well and it does a tidy job at that too. I use rekordbox for formating and organising my music, potplayer for listening to it now and poweramp on my phone.
Just a bonus - I use syncthing to automatically keep my phone music collection always updated with my latest tracks.
ncmpcpp on Linux as a mpd frontend. I started using it during the "I want to do everything in the terminal" phase of a linux user, and it kinda grew on me.
