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?
Strawberry if I had to have something visual with buttons.
cmus right now because it loads my rather large library in a split second. mpd works great as well.
More important than the player for me is sorting, though. Beets is my saviour. I could never sort the 5 or 6 albums I get by hand and tag them by hand.
I used to like deadbeef as well, quod libet is great. There really is something for everyone when it comes to something for music. If only there were as many great email clients.
Tauon Music Box available on Github. You look for albums by typing on your keyboard. Once you see the result which says “Artist”, hit enter. It creates a playlist which shows all the albums of that playlist. The next time you want to listen to that artist, start typing and select “[Artist name] playlist”. This concept differs from playlists, because it doesn’t actually create playlists you can use or export. I just like the UI, although the play controls are bit weird, they don’t quite work the way you’d expect them to.
Dolphin + mpv for me so I can see the album covers and metadata and see whats available, if I have a specific song in mind, then ill just use the terminal and mpv.
I used to use Amarok, but now I have a subscription to Youtube Music. It gives me a lot of flexibility on running it in a browser or on Android without worrying about syncing.
