From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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?
I just use mpv
mpd + ncmpcpp
Nothing honestly. Couldn't find a music player that doesn't look like a file manager, has good search and queue features and doesn't make strong assumptions about how music is organized. Tried to run Musicolet through waydroid but it doesn't support Nvidia gpus
My distro came with Rhythmbox and I've pretty much just stuck with it. It does podcasts and radio which I appreciate and I can also edit track metadata in it. For playing music from my file browser I use MPV because it's fast.
How do you get dark mode in Strawberry under KDE? I remember trying to follow some guides and not having much luck. But that was a long time ago at this point. Does this "just work" now?
Probably a tie between audacious, strawberry, and qmmp
Strawberry [clementine fork]
MPD + Cantata
For the most part I just lump all my music into one playlist regardless of album or genre, but day to day I also use several different computers, and I find MPD to be the best for syncing configurations across all of them. Cantata also allows me to see album artwork and track information really easily and has good touchscreen support compared to terminal-based MPD clients.
Clementine
Clementine
No one really. I've tried a bunch but never found one that felt just right. Clementine is the one that gets the closest.
I really wish MusicBee had a Linux port, it's the only thing I miss from Windows.
Clementine
If you liked Clementine, check out Strawberry. Clementine hasn't been updated since 2016. Strawberry is a fork of the Clementine code base and essentially picks up where Clementine left off.
lightweight media server Super fast indexing. Smooth web client. Also supports the subsonic api. I've been using the web client locally for some years now. I can also access my library on the go with substreamer on Android which is great. https://github.com/epoupon/lms
I simply play music using mpv.
Strawberry.
Our desktops are almost identical, lol.
if I'm using gui on my laptop, then amberol
if I'm using my headless server, then you can't get anything better than mpd
I'm a fan of cmus. simple and easy.
Quod Libet is my current favorite. It gives me a lot of the features and layout I used in Foobar2000 in Windows and isn't gigantic.
I agree with Strawberry. I'd love if Music Bee ever got a linux port or equivalent though
Elisa, better thank strawberry imo
Just mpv for me. Simplest and most versatile option
Strawberry+1
strawberry-qt5 from AUR
Going to ask here, anyone know a music player that is similar to AIMP? It has no native support, unfortunately.
Amarok 1.4 from TDE
Rhythmbox
VLC when I'm listening to local files, ncspot for Spotify.
