Yeah, KDE really is the most advanced DE right now. It could use a little love in the area of multiple monitor virtual desktop support though (something like what mac has where you can have separate desktops per monitor. no, running separate xorg instances doesn't count)

I normally use Gnome3 for casual purposes and KDE for personal projects. How about you?
>>
>>58846324
Foobar2000 is the best!
Most configurable player I've used.

Guayadeque looks intriguing though. I'll try it out.

I'll admit that fb2k is more configurable given that it has plugin support. However, I just found it to be too simple for my needs. I know my library size is pretty small in those screenshots, but when I first started using it awhile back I had a library that was too large to easily manage. Guayadeque helped me fix the metadata (especially album artist and genre) on my music and filter it based on a number of different criteria simultaneously. If Spotify or Google Play Music let me create dynamic playlists with this much control I would use them (I was using them for awhile, hence why my library is tiny now). I just can't handle simplistic UIs for managing something as complex as a music collection.
>>
>>58846544
The core fb2k is very simple. I wouldn't use it without plugins.
My setup looks very close to Gayadeque, but it requires some plugins and config. Faces is one of the plugins I use and my setup looks something like this.
https://i.imgur.com/yq9RSaU.png

You can do almost anythin with foobar2k but it requires some serious tweaking and several plugins.
But i cna be tedious to configure everything so there are several things avout my stup I'm not happy with.
But there are also things in my setup which I've not seen any other player allows me to configure. And that has kept me from switching.

I'd love to have something that just work's out of the box sometimes.

So I'll give Guayadeque a try for my linux box.

Except that's wrong. No matter how many addons you install, fb2k will always be an ugly piece of shit.

Option A: Music player with all the functionality I want out of the box that does a good job of utilizing my desktop theme.

Option B: A nearly featureless music player where I have to experiment with an endless array of plugins to kind of get things the way I want and it completely ignores my desktop theme. No matter how I customize thhe appearance, it will always look like it came from the 90's

The fact it is so customizable is one of its best features. None other player allows for such deep customization and option to make the program do exactly what you want.

No idea why you are so upset about it tho. I tried Guagemole for day and it was really bad, in fact there's not 1 GNU/Linux music player that does everything my Windows foobar installation did. I even stopped listening to music locally and just streaming shit because the players were all so rigid, unsupported, dead, abandoned, or locked to creator's vision.

Just my two cents.

I did this too for awhile, but eventually (about 3 days ago) I went back to Guayadeque. The reason why is because services like Spotify and Google Play Music simply do not have an advanced enough UI for dynamic playlist generation. You can either have them scrobble for you, or you can painstakingly select everything by hand. Neither of those is an acceptable option. The end result was that I ended up just listening to full albums all the time, which is not my preferred listening style most of the time.

Even when I find the occasional rare ocurrence where someone has made fb2k appeare to be somewhat functional, it still looks bad. see >>58846918
While I can acknowledge that looks aren't really important, I wiill pick the more aesthetic application if it lets me do everything I want to do.

I'm super austistic with the way I sort and listen to my music collection.

Been using WMP 11 for ages (even on Windows 10). Been looking for a better media player. I like MusicBee a lot, but is there any way to force a specific image size for the album art on the now playing screen?

Alternatively, I know Foobar2k is basically the best in regards to functionality, and that you can do just about anything with it. I just hate how it looks. Is there a skin that groups albums together with album art? And, like WMP and MusicBee, have a "now playing" screen with specified size for album art?

I don't use that filter so i haven't looked into it. mpd is just the daemon while ncmpcpp is the frontend of which there are many other candidates which you can find on either archwiki or installgentoo.wiki.

You can even use mpd to stream to external sources (such as your phone or laptop). that is why i find mpd to be the superior "music player"

I've used MPD for streaming before and it's fucking useless. I would rather just set up a subsonic server or carry around all my music on my phone.

>Make a playlist
That's literally what I was doing in that screenshot. Also, regular playlists are static and would need to be updated every time I add new music to my collection. Dynamic playlists always stay up to date with my music collection based on the criteria I have set.

So what you are saying is that it only provides the most simplistic playlist generation possible and sucks for anyone with a large music library. Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
>>
>>58853392
I just dump every song I want to hear in the queue, save that queue as a playlist, then clear the queue and add a different playlist I want to hear. It's minimal and it servers my needs, while also looking good too.

Okay so you have extremely simplistic musical preferences then.

I don't want to simply listen to an album most of the time. You are either literally retarded or trolling at this point. I am going to disengage.

>>58853575
No it isn't you fucking retard. Artist sometimes contains contributing artists as well. Meaning that within a non-compilation non-soundtrack single album, you can have multiple artists. With album artist, every track on the album has the same value. Sure you can edit your songs to force the artist field to act as the album artist field, but that is literal retard tier.

If you had ever tried even a handful of different music players you would see that most do not let you pick and choose between all the available tags to display.

With a good music player, it should get out of your way as much as possible. With dynamic playlists, you can set up your playlists by whatever criteria you want, and then those playlists will automatically include new content added to your library without needing to manually edit the playlist. I'm not sure why you would want to have to constantly mess with playlists and selecting specific artists/albums to listen to when you can just have a handful of decent dynamic playlists and never have to fuck with that nonsense again.

Why would your selection criteria include songs you don't like? It should have something like "Songs with Rating >= 3 stars" or something like that as part of your selection criteria. Then the only possible way a song would get played is if you had explicitly given it a good rating.

That's the way it's supposed to be you retard. That's why there are both "artist" and "album artist" tags. Having both is useful, but as a primary sorting mechanism, "album artist" is far superior.

I do edit my tags. Are you retarded? That has nothing to do with the problem. The problem is the UI on various music players and what tags they let you view.

Right, because everyone should cater to your special snowflake requests.

>>58854161
Allowing the user to configure which tags are visible is not a "special snowflake" request. In fact, it is a very general request. Pretty much the exact opposite. All good software developers work with broad generic solutions whenever possible.

>ID tags
>It isn't even hard.
ID3v2 tags are the fucking hardest thing in the world. It's a fucking collection of fucking stupid and reading the specifications is pretty fucking useless as fucking no one else is using it.

Like, you can embed images in music files and one of the image options you have is "A bright coloured fish". In case you need to include an image of a bright coloured fish in addition to the front cover art, back cover art, media, picture of the conductor, picture of where the music was recorded, picture what the band looks like while playing the song and the publisher's logo.

And if you have a genre, you can write your genre as any sort of a string. But! You can also specify the genre as an integer! If you choose to use an integer, you then need to enumerate all sorts of genres to know what genre "59" means. If you are wondering, genre integer 59 is "gangsta".

Then there's shit like the fucking popularimeter. Fucking popularimeter. They included a fucking tag where you can enter a rating for a song, where rating of 1 is absolute dogshit and a rating of 255 is the best. But every time you give a rating to a song, you need to save the user's email address who is giving the rating, rating between 1 and 255 and and if you truly want, a playback counter as to how many times the user has listened to this song.

However, there is absolutely no standard as to how the popularimeter values should be translated in user interfaces when using a five-star rating system, star system with half-starts, numeric values, etc. Software designers just use whatever they want.

And then there's the fact that the ID3v2 specifications have a separate play counter tag, meaning that you can either store play counts in the popularimeter tag, where it is optional, or use a separate tag that is specifically designed for play counting.

ID3v2 specs are dumb.

Also, another thing to point about ID3v2 tags: some of the things that people think about ID3v2 tags are just absolute specification rape by various software developers.

Many people have probably used software in the past that let them assign an album artist to a song in addition to an artist. iTunes is one example of one. However, while the artist property uses TPE1, designer to store "Lead artist(s)/Lead performer(s)/Soloist(s)/Performing group", album artist values almost always use TPE2, which is specified to be the name of the "Band/Orchestra/Accompaniment".

Lots of people have probably also seen a big text box in their editors that allow them to set an arbitrary comment about the file. Well that's also fucking wrong! A music file may contain 0, 1, 17 or 9103 different comment frames. And instead of just being a long string of text, each comment should include a language code (what language is the comment written in), description (what information does the comment convey) and the actual text value. However, many software (like iTunes), just show you the first comment field they find and let you only edit the text portion, not the language and content description. So you may as well ignore those things, since the user has probably not even seen them, let alone edited them.

I haven't touched Foobar in like 5 years, much like Windows. However, is this a screenshot of the property editor? If so, it's doing the same exact thing as iTunes.

Why is there an album artist field? No such thing in the ID3v2 specifications.

Where can you set the language code for the comment field? Only thing I see is the comment value itself. Also, there's no comment description.
>>
>>58854527
You can literally name any of the fields to your liking or delete them or convert any of them to a name of your liking.

Stop being so retarded lmao
>>
>>58854545
That doesn't mean that Foobar is actually using the ID3v2 specification.

Also, renaming fields to your liking? I imagine that solution just makes Foobar use TXXX frames instead with user-defined descriptions and values, which just make any sort of information absolutely non-portable.

Foobar2k because it can play from compressed albums, and since I've gotten used to it I have half my albums still compressed and can't be bothered to uncompress them for other players.
I really wish that there was a linux player with this feature.

If you have separate botnet partition/hard drive, use Spotify.
It's pretty comfy, especially if you're into classical music.
On free as in freedom environment, torrent and mpv are simplest and comfiest.

I wanted to use MusicBee but I couldn't figure out how to make it split my library by the folders I use, and it all just mashed together.

Went back to foobar and tried making an Album grid like in MusicBee, but apperantly the only plug-in that work only uses default UI which looks like ass. Oh well, I like it so far.
