iTunes

gentoo

The default one. Rockolla or whatever it's called. Why would you need more?

Audacious because it's simple and easy to create separate playlists

J RIVER MEDIA CENTRE

its so good (You) have to buy the $40 dollar linux license. Only bit of software i have bought in the past 10 years.... its thats good.

I have a pretty huge music library, clementine lets me sort everything neatly. The only thing it's really missing is a cover view.

I use plex to play all the music in my library

When I was using OS X then Clementine was almost perfect, but I didn't like the bloat.

other than that mpd+ncmpcpp is perfect in every possible way

>sort everything neatly
Any player lets you do that. I have 1586 days 21 hours and 36 minutes of music and I use the default one. You're just an audiophile to be honest.

Not any player let's you do that as efficiently as clementine.

>You're just an audiophile
You don't understand what that word means.

Spotify

More like you're a macfag. Who needs album cover view LOL get good nigger!

>known to fuck up your local files
No thanks

>players for Linux
>you're a macfag
Are you done child?

He means you are used to itunes so you have to have the faggot album cover view.

Its not that hard to just remember the albums.

i use cmus+guake

it's actually very convenient and not autistic at all when you use guake

lollypop, pic related

I use DeaDBeef because all I want really is to have a huge droplist I can randomize and just play the damn songs without other features. Very lightweight and easy to customize, but don't go for it if you want less than 100% simplicity.

moc

I've never used itunes samefag. Go be a toddler somewhere else.

fork it

QuodLibet

Lollypop.
It just werx.

If you don't want to go terminal, DeadBeeF is the way to go.

it's cool and has some nice features (web search) but it's too buggy.

Not bad, it's a shame I can't change tags within the program itself, or am I overlooking something? I'll try this out for a while, thanks lads.

mpd + ncmpcpp

> >Terminal players
> plebshit
retard

Cantata

Spotify

Get spotify premium and recreate your library from there

this
also this

youtube

You should install Source Mage.

>pay to stream music instead of owning it
kek, good joke m80

Best Linux music player
>Implying it isn't pic related

The only acceptable situation in which to use a terminal player is if you're on a server. And for that mpd is great. If you're on a regular desktop terminal players are absolutely disgusting and not an acceptable alternative.

Quod Libet

>fairly stable
>active development
>support for mp3,flac,wav,m4a as long as your system supports it
>nice wavebar plugin, as well as a simpler duration plugin that shows current position (the default position-display is a bit awkward, but plugins come shipped with it)
>shuffling, loop single, loop all
>playlists
>ratings and custom fields
>fairly at resorting large lists
>a full rescanning of library might take a while but you do not do that often enough for it to be a big impact
>keeps track of play counts and skip counts
>filters (with support for python queries with a plugin)
>keyboard shortcuts if you call it through xbindkeys or something
"quodlibet --play-pause"
m:0x40 + c:65
Mod4 + space

"quodlibet --next"
m:0x40 + c:114
Right

>python console plugin, which albeit a tiny bit awkward lets you import ratings and date timestamps from another mediaplayer database, I can post the custom script I used if there is interest (it is messy but worked)
>no dependencies on lennarts D
>no internet meme features that I have noticed without explicitly enabling it through a plugin
>very active development
>it uses gtk3 but oh well

I came from banshee since development of that died down, and it exceeds my expectations

/thread

>french shit
lmao

rhythmbox with alternative toolbar

Good, then you might finally grow up and get rid of your collection of 1TB anime soundtracks in FLAC

This. Audacious is really nice and simple, and it actually supports .xm files unlike rythmbox.

>Thinks he "owns" music he bought
Sweetie...

>projecting this hard

>Thinks I buy music

No last.fm intergration
/trash
Personally I use MusicBee (pic related). You can customize everything, layout, what is displayed, also has loads of themes. On Linux I just use the Spotify web player with ad block.

Foobar with Wine

>No last.fm intergration
It does have last.fm integration..

>Spotify
stay shilling

cmus

where? I opened it there was no menu or options menu whatsoever. why can't linux programs be just intuitive? is this like mpv where you have to make a conf file?

How to get that plugin user?
Just downloaded Quod but can't see any visualizer in plugins, but I might be retarded.

file>plugins>waveform seekbar at the bottom

the plugin has been updated a bit in recent versions on github (the last few months), so maybe distribution packages might be a bit outdated.

Import the script from quodlibet python console and run the fix function iirc

gist.github.com/Meriipu/944e648b1e16e9804ea09d6f6725e515

>Ar Tonelico
Good taste
Is the flac collection worth it?
I downloaded the mp3 one before the flac version was available

wow I am absent minded, I mixed up ratings and playcounts in that gist
but yeah

cmus

I usually get flac if it is available but I do not claim to be able to tell the difference between high bitrate mp3 and lossless so I can not say

>where?
Settings > preferences > Web > Last.fm
Seems pretty intuitive to me lad.

Cantata is breddy gud.

Damn, it must be a version issue then, thank you though, I will play with it later.

I use Fader. Looks like Lollypop.

...

okay and where is the settings button. i dont have any. show me a picture? i wanna see the receipts.

Spotify just works. I gave up on unauthorised copying [1].

>where is the settings button
mate...

anything that uses pandora

What is the Apollo of desktop?

???

kek, what DE are you using? Gnome/Unity sometimes puts shit like that in the panel. I use Xfce myself.

Oh that was it. I deactivated 'show appilcation menu' in gnome tweak tool. Thanks!

no problem mate, enjoy

deadbeef

It's the foobar2000 of the music player field, extremely customizable and plays just about every format you need it to.

What?

>I use botnet to play all the music in my library

Deadbeef will never reach Foobar levels of greatness, even in 2 lifetimes

Deadbeef.

I use Foobar but i use Windows. Sorry.

>blackplayer
>poweramp
>pi music player
Lots of create linux music players

>but it lacks an album cover view.
wut?

What don't you understand about that sentence?

are you fucking blind?

Deadbeef.

No, are you? That screenshot shows the files view. The only album cover displayed is the one playing. That's not what an album cover view is. See for a proper example.

nao?

Again, that's not what an album cover view looks like. See

ctrl+E

I know how to edit my files thanks.

Mah nigga, gotta love audacious. Lightweight, good functionality, and even supports windows

isn't this what you're looking for?

Well, sort of yes, but that is a separate screen and it's for managing covers only. You can't have that as the feault view and you can't simply click the cover to queue the album. Clementine simply doesn't have an album cover view. Lollypop does.

>feault
Not sure wtf happened there, default is the word I was looking for.

I actually like that.. it's nice

also you can add them in the playlist
not just for managing

That's fair enough. If they would make that available as a default view in the main screen I would go back to clementine immediately. I love all the options it gives you. Until that day comes though, I think I'm sticking with Lollypop.

And yes, I just noticed you can add them to the playlist, I just dislike that it has to be a separate screen.

You can do that with cantata. In fact, you can do almost everything clementine does with cantata while not having a fugly interface.

Yes, looks interesting, I'll give that a try as well.

cmus
>terminal player because who has time to open another bloated QT app
>vim like bindings
>loads of themes
>remote control player

other option is nvlc which is a vlc terminal front end, cmus cannot play m4a files so use nvlc for that. But Nvlc doe snot have muh sweet vim keybindings

>>Terminal players
>plebshit
ncmpcpp is solid though, only feature it lacks is album covers
