Music player with high dpi support?
I usually use Clementine as music player. Unfortunately, it does not have any hidpi support (3200x1800 resolution on a 13.3'' display). So do you know any good music player with hidpi support?

Re: Music player with high dpi support?
You could use MPD and either a terminal client, Qt5 client (Cantata), or a web client.
I just looked at the Arch Linux wiki page for HiDPI. The state of HiDPI in Linux is kind of a mess, isn't it.

I have a 13.3" 3200x1800 screen on which DeaDBeeF (Community) scales like other GTK apps in Gnome 3 and suits me fine.
Enough is more.

Re: Music player with high dpi support?
Thanks for the suggestions. I don't really want to try mpd, I prefer a simple music player without Client/Server infrastructure... I've just installed deadbeef, but there I have the same problem as with clementine (the icons are way too small for my screen).
I would appreciate further suggestions. And podcast support would be nice.

DeaDBeeF supports podcasts.
Can't you just fix the issue with the icon size? I assume someone has figured out how to resolve it...

Re: Music player with high dpi support?
I should maybe have added that I'm running Gnome 3 with 'Window scaling' factor 2 and I enabled the GTK3 plugin in DeaDBeeF's 'GUI/Misc' preferences (GTK2 appears to be the default) -- not least because that plugin embodies any claim DeaDBeeF might have to HiDPI support. 
Enough is more.

Re: Music player with high dpi support?
Thanks for this information. With gtk3 enabled deadbeef looks great! I'm going to try it.

Re: Music player with high dpi support?
as already mentioned, cantata uses qt5, which should work fine with hidpi
