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?
First it was Amarok, then Clementine, and now it’s Strawberry.
DeaDBeeF Player, I like lightweight and simple music players.
Agreed, with the exception of album covers. I like it all to look nice on my Hidizs when I’m on the go.
How do you discover new music? I’m the type that listen to the same thing over and over again but I realized even I rely entirely on autogenerated playlists of Spotify.
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.
How do you download your music?
My client doesn’t have to answer that.
I tried several and I very much appreciate Quod Libet
That said I’m interested in trying others’ suggestions 👌
I use CMUS because I mainly work within terminal, without a mouse, and the controls feel like Vim
mpd + ncmpcpp
mpd + Emacs frontend. There are dozens of us
mpd
Audacious
Lollypop. Simple interface that shows me album art. I can’t always remember band names or artist names but I know what the damn album cover looks like 👍
Agreed.
The feature I like the most in Lollypop is the party mode. It lets the user select various music genres from your library and it plays songs that match the selected options
I must try that. Thanks 👍
I’d like to take this opportunity to remind you that spotify sucks, they hate artists but love Joe Rogan. If you can’t buy albums via bandcamp, Tidal offers quality and royalties far superior to Spottily. You can transfer your playlist in a few clicks and the price is almost identical (6 accounts for like $15/m).
