I use Audacious.
It can use Winamp skins which is great, though lately I’ve been using its default UI.
I use Mopidy and NCMPCPP for mine
No mention of VLC?
Ive been using vlc so long I forgot there was anything else…
My janky 20 year old Foobar2k setup and plugin workflow is easily the thing I miss most when using Linux.
Really missing smth like musicbee :(
wait spin a docker container with navidrome and another docker with aonsoku web player and call it done or use any subsonic compatible clients. And this work anywhere!
“The state of Linux music players” but no mention of Audacious or Deadbeef? For shame.
Yeah, I did not expect them to do that title justice, because how in the hell could anyone try 200 music players, but how did they get down to 7 and somehow skip some of the most popular players…? Did all of those somehow look broken on their setup? 🫠
Quod Libet’s my player of choice
No mention of Cantata, nor acknowledgement of Amarok’s recent revival. Whatever the reason might be for those omissions, this article doesn’t do a very good job of representing the state of linux music players.
Very nice article. Very useful.
Doesn’t even mention deadbeef lmao
is this your article? It’s a really nice summary and helped me narrow down some choices as I prep a box.
For my mpd + ncmpcpp folks I would highly recommend RMPC. It’s more of a modern take on TUI players (and actually supports displaying album covers!)
That does look neat, album covers are definitely a feature that’s sorely missing from ncmpcpp!
I use Lollypop and I love it. I would like it to have more information about the track being played. Which audio player do you recommend for Gnome that is in GTK4? Thanks
