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?
VLC
I also mostly use VLC these days. I also use it on android, with a copy of my flac library on my microSD there too.
I tried several and I very much appreciate Quod Libet
That said I’m interested in trying others’ suggestions 👌
Agreed, with the exception of album covers. I like it all to look nice on my Hidizs when I’m on the go.

Sometimes I poke around Wikipedia and see what other artists collaborated with, influenced, or were influenced by artists I like, and buy their albums.
Sometimes I download highly-rated shows from random artists on Internet Archive’s Live Music Archive
Sometimes friends recommend stuff.

So you like jazz?
Only free jazz
Feishin, Audacious and Strawberry
mpd + ncmpcpp
Tauon Music Box. I just point it at my Navidrome instance and hit shuffle usually.
Since I‘m only listen to music on Apple Music, I use Cider.
DeaDBeeF Player, I like lightweight and simple music players.
I just use mpv
First it was Amarok, then Clementine, and now it’s Strawberry.
I settled with Navidrome. It solves 2 use cases for me. Due to being web based it can be used by any PC or mobile device with access to my server. Additionally it supports subsonic which allows me to use a native android app (ultrasonic) and have music on the go. I don’t use services like Spotify.
For the most part I use
ncmpcpp
withmpd
, but sometimes whenever I just want to listen to a single file I usempv --no-video
instead…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.
Audacious with a winamp skin. Nostalgic.
