Music Players

Hello guys,
I’m looking for a music player, I have checked some wikis but none of those give me their personal opinion of the music players thus I would like to know your experience. Currently I am using musikcube as I just though it would look since since it can use your terminal colorscheme and I have also used Cue.
Anyway, what music player would you recommend for someone who has thousands of songs and wishes to create playlists seamlessly. Thanks in advance

Edit: Gave most of your recommendations a fair shot. In the end I decided to go for MPD + Ymuse since it was exactly what I needed plus Ymuse is gtk so its automatically themed for me. Thank You All Guys!
fair to say I was Ymused…

InFerNo,

Nothing seems to sway me from audacious. Does what it needs to do.

flashgnash,

YouTube music in Firefox in a special workspace

I’d love a CLI on it but there don’t seem to be any good enough to beat the UX

Can be themed with Stylus

zod000,

Probably a bit late, but I really like Quod Libet. It is very extensible, runs light, has excellent tagging and filtering, and just feels similar enough to how I set up my foobar2000.

kusivittula,

installed foobar2000 with wine. nothing can ever beat it. and i has to have dolby headphone.

zod000,

I have always loved FB2K, but I didn’t like using it in linux. It was slow to start (which is snap’s fault) and was tough to get working in a stable state once I started trying to use components that I prefer (probably wine’s fault, but who knows).

kusivittula,

have you tried the 32 bit version? i noticed the 64 bit can’t load components

Johanno,

For some reason I use YouTube music most of the time.

Vlc would be my choice for local. And maybe a jellyfin for my server.

theshatterstone54,

Personally, I use cmus, though I’ve been looking around for alternatives also, just to see if there’s something better for me. My main issue with cmus is having to build playlists within it, instead of using m3u files. This means I have to back up both my regular playlists I use on my phone, and my cmus playlists. But I haven’t really found anything as easy to use and intuitive as cmus so far. I used to like deadbeef but I dropped it because it wasn’t available everywhere and I wasn’t the biggest fan of its interface.

dino,

Biggest gripe with cmus are are the hotkeys, its totally unintuitive and frustrating if you don’t use it daily and everywhere. Additional small gripe: no album covers, but thats with most terminal players.

theshatterstone54,

You can change them. It’s what I did.

dino,

Sane defaults, thank you.

Marty_TF,

i selfhost navidrome and use feishin on linux desktop, and symfonium on mobile.

cafuneandchill,

I just open my music in mpv lol. Used to use MOC, but I couldn’t get it to work with multimedia keys, so I ditched it

AVincentInSpace,

I’m a big fan of MPD since it runs in the background and can be remote controlled from other devices in the house. Also supports every format under the sun up to and including chiptunes. May or may not be useful to you though.

Audacious with winamp skins.

bastonia,

I was actually looking to use Winamp. Does this skin makes it look exactly like Winamp? How do I get it?

Audacious can correctly read and display winamp skin files (.wsz).

Get them from archive.org

97,133 search hits for ‘winamp skin’ are listed.

archive.org/search?query=winamp+skin

One of the old classic skins was sketch_skin

Piwix,

Dont have it in front of me so instructions might be off, but Audacious can load any winamp skin you download, it is available as an option in the customization settings. You might have to drop it into a skins system folder on audacious, but winamp skins are one of the theme options you can pick on audacious. Looks just like winamp but the backend stuff is different (right click menu’s, etc.)

ZWQbpkzl,

MPD. Is the way. Queue is playlist. Save queue as playlist. Playlist in folder. Load playlist to queue. Load playlist to queue. Playlists con…conc…concatentatetded. Concatenated.

m4,

As any person that lives under a rock I barely blinked and everyone was using streaming services while I kept half of my hard drive full of pirated mp3 and never got to understand why people fell for that trap. I really like MPD, though when it goes yolo it's a pain in the butt to re-configure it.

I used ncmpcpp for like 10 years (or even more, but I can't recall) but only a couple years ago re-discovered ncmpc and liked its minimalism (compared to ncmpcpp, that is). Even wrote a couple stupid patches to change the default progress bar.

But a few weeks ago learned about mmtc. Which is written in rust.

I didn't have rust installed and the 12 GB of RAM weren't enough to compile rust in my Gentoo box so I used this as an excuse to buy more RAM. And then compiled rust and it took a bit more of an hour so I could use this shiny "new" MPD player. Only to discover its so minimal it doesn't have an database update function - the author literally says you have to set a key combination to call mpc to do so.

My family fell for it, and it is really hard to convince them otherwise.

mojofrododojo,

My family fell for it,

They are probably referring to the streaming services bit

LucidBoi,

I’ve been using Dopamine for years. Nothing ever got even close to it.
