You mean a dedicated hardware device?
No, just software that is specifically designed for this purpose, so less applications like VLC and more applications like DeaDBeeF (or MPD for multiple devices). I’m just interested in what people use.
Rhythmbox for me. I was using Spotify for a long time but I’ve been dialing that usage back a lot this year. Another factor was that I have an older PC and when I play games it uses more resources than I’d like. I took the time and setup my playlists in Rhythmbox and I’ve been happy. It’s not winning any design awards but it does the job.
Strawberry, Audacious, qmmp and Amberol are all decent audio players I have been happy with.
I second Audacious, it’s ALMOST foobar, the only thing it doesn’t do is create a new playlist from a folder drag into empty space.
EDIT: also, I like to put it into the system tray
I started with Clementine for a few years, and then migrated to Strawberry, I love the mood bar.
I am still on Windows, but am looking to switch to Endevour OS next year or so…
I’ve been happy with Strawberry so far. The default music player in Gnome is okay-ish but I wanted a music player that can be set up with multiple music folders and Strawberry can do that.
Feishin, connected to my jellyfin server.
mpd with rmpc - unix philosophy at work. Have been rockin it for 3 years now. probably gonna stick with mpd for the rest of my linux journey.
Same. I’ve tried dozens of music players, but I always return to mpd, though I use Cantata as my front end. And M.A.L.P. allows me to control playback from my Android devices.
I also quite like QuodLibet, but my computer has a bug where the music randomly pauses when using Gstreamer (which QL uses), so for the most part I use mpd.
Extremely ergonomic terminal music player.
while not exactly Linux, i always stood by AIMP - it runs quite well through wine
Strawberry, was the first one I got to work with my iPods and that’s my main use case
I use Strawberry. I like it’s Dynamic Random playlist feature, and I can customise it if I want.
Audacious
I used a few, but right now, I think I have Rhythmbox for podcasts, but Strawberry for music (432Hz shenanigans).
Sayonara player on desktop.
Lollypop on mobile.
I feel like you just made that up.
HastaLavista on desktop
Locus in mobile.
Amberol or gapless depending on whether I want to have a built-in library
I use YouTube Music installed as a brave app with ads block on. I’m always connected to internet so I save storage space and time watching ads.
