qmmp (with a Winamp 2 skin of course) and Rhythmbox. JuK in the past too, until a JuK upgrade removed all my existing playlists. :-(

qmmp is nice for creating playlists on the fly, e.g. playing all files in a folder, which is not really possible with players that follow the iTunes-like library approach. I also like that I can quickly turn on and off plugins, especially for MOD and SID file types which clutter the playlist with their multiple tracks per file.

Is it possible to show album art on the lower left corner on Rhytmbox? And it is too small for my taste.

Yes, album art is definitely too small in RB. They should copy iTunes or Juk and make it clickable or "hoverable".

sayonara. I think I've tried 5 - 6 other players before finding one where you could change the playback speed, it seems like a basic feature so I was surprised that so many don't have it

I would like to take the opportunity to ask you if are there others music players (within a GUI) that allows to change settings like the ratio, and bit depth, as audacious has. Like its sample rate converter, and/or to choose the interpolation's method. Do those options might change the sound's quality? Or it depends from the file's source quality at first? ...Like the sample rate converter cannot change the quality, but the bit's depth may offer anyway a better sound, e.g.?

QuodLibet is my favorite

arijitd · 2019-05-28 16:40:42

Well you can use mpd or cmus. My favorites ❤️ Mpd is difficult to setup but you can use cmus. It's a great option

mmdamin · 2019-05-28 17:16:21

I didn't found a beautiful music player, but Lollypop is best of them. Its UI design is better than other players I've seen.
It has categories on left side containing Artists, Albums, Playlists, ...
And shows them in a good way.
It's also a little buggy and sometimes crashes or shows things wrong.
Deepin Music is a little good but Lollypop is better, Deepin lacks a lot of options. I didn't like it.
I like Windows 10's Groove Music Application.

MPD on Server to Creative USB sound card to JVC amp.
Controlled with Cantata on Desktop and MPDroid on Phone.

Clementine and Google Music on Desktop for local playback
Clementine can be controlled with KDEConnect on Phone.

CD's and Vinyl on JVC amp.

Google music on phone to various bluetooth speakers.
JVC amp has a bluetooth receiver attached to it.
Sony bluetooth speaker in kitchen.
IHome iBTN24 in bathroom and on deck
IHome iBT16 when at friends houses

IPod Shuffle 2GB when on the go.
Clementine has good support for it.
GTKPod to send music to it also works well.

I think that is all the ways.

Thinking of casting my Clementine to Server and dropping Cantata and MPDroid since seldom do I listen to music without the desktop running and then I only have to deal with one music database instead of two (Clementine and MPD).

syn42_ · 2019-05-30 04:23:25

Honestly I just use the Spotify flatpak

Used Clementine for quite a while, now I am very happy with QuodLibet, the only reason I moved to it is to remove dependencies that were used only for Clementine, otehrwise, Clementine is great player.

mmdamin · 2019-06-02 14:31:55

I would switch to QoudLibet, too.
I just searched for it and I liked it.
I think it's better than lollypop.

qinohe · 2019-06-04 17:04:53

Nice thread, have an Ampache server and an MPD server providing a few streams (including Ampache).
Manage them with Ampache website, ncmpcpp and M.A.L.P(Android).
The streams play on multiple systems DAC trough MOC or VLC on the Androids.

Rhythmbox...plain and simple.

But then it's also for movies, TV series, EPG and photos. I also like the audiovisual effects and (sometimes) the optional bouncy lyrics!

UncleSpellbinder · 2019-06-10 19:10:52

Right now I'm using Strawberry. It really handles large libraries rather well. But I'm gonna give Sayonara a shot as well. No clue on how it handles large libraries.

d_fajardo · 2019-06-10 20:29:08

Cantata for me. I have an external USB DAC and some DSD music files so I feed the DAC bit-perfect from ALSA via mpd and works very well. There are also internet contents in Cantata like radio stations I can stream directly. The info section searches for articles about the artists and the lyrics.

archimboldo · 2019-06-11 07:56:53

Audacious, pure alsa.

Vlc or Mikmod.

cynicfm · 2019-07-03 20:02:27

Well my favourite way of listening to music is through cd player or turntable connected to some nice speakers...
However this is not portable at all so i rip cds i have to my laptop with .wav or .flac formats so i mainly use Audacious, used parole sometimes, vlc not fan, however i can say that when i don't use external usb audio i prefer alsaplayer <- this one is nice but when i do then Audacious

Organisation is done with beets, which allows for a consistent directory structure and automatic tagging of my library.

I use mpd for playback.

For selecting music to play, I normally use mpc from the command line.

Arch Linux
