What are the best music players for Linux?
>Clementine
almost perfect, but it lacks an album cover view.
>Tomahawk
Has cover view, but completely lacks customizability.
>Banshee, Rythmbox, Gnome Music etc.
Trash
>Terminal players
plebshit
iTunes
>>60869080
gentoo
>>60869080
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
>>60869080
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.
>>60869113
I have a pretty huge music library, clementine lets me sort everything neatly. The only thing it's really missing is a cover view.
>>60869080
>>60869125
I use plex to play all the music in my library
>>60869080
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
>>60869136
>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.
>>60869159
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
>>60869201
>known to fuck up your local files
No thanks
>>60869252
>players for Linux
>you're a macfag
Are you done child?
>>60869273
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
>>60869080
lollypop, pic related
>>60869080
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
>>60869296
I've never used itunes samefag. Go be a toddler somewhere else.
>>60869136
fork it
>>60869080
QuodLibet
>>60869080
Lollypop.
It just werx.
If you don't want to go terminal, DeadBeeF is the way to go.
>>60869321
it's cool and has some nice features (web search) but it's too buggy.
>>60869321
>>60869437
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.
>>60869080
mpd + ncmpcpp

Cantata
>>60869080
Spotify
>>60869255
Get spotify premium and recreate your library from there
>>60869663
this
>>60869676
also this
>>60869080
youtube
>>60869080
You should install Source Mage.
>>60869697
>pay to stream music instead of owning it
kek, good joke m80
>>60869080
Best Linux music player
>Implying it isn't pic related
>>60869663
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.
>>60869080
>>60869436
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

rhythmbox with alternative toolbar
>>60869255
Good, then you might finally grow up and get rid of your collection of 1TB anime soundtracks in FLAC
>>60869121
This. Audacious is really nice and simple, and it actually supports .xm files unlike rythmbox.

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.
>>60869080
Foobar with Wine
>>60870239
>No last.fm intergration
It does have last.fm integration..
>Spotify

cmus
>>60870287
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?
>>60869819
How to get that plugin anon?
Just downloaded Quod but can't see any visualizer in plugins, but I might be retarded.
>>60870501
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.
>>60869819
Import the script from quodlibet python console and run the fix function iirc

>Ar Tonelico
Good taste
Is the flac collection worth it?
I downloaded the mp3 one before the flac version was available
>>60870539
wow I am absent minded, I mixed up ratings and playcounts in that gist
but yeah
cmus
>>60870564
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
>>60870430
>where?
Settings > preferences > Web > Last.fm
Seems pretty intuitive to me lad.
>>60869080
Cantata is breddy gud.
>>60870539
Damn, it must be a version issue then, thank you though, I will play with it later.
I use Fader. Looks like Lollypop.
>>60870767
>>60870654
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].

>>60871153
kek, what DE are you using? Gnome/Unity sometimes puts shit like that in the panel. I use Xfce myself.
>>60871190
Oh that was it. I deactivated 'show appilcation menu' in gnome tweak tool. Thanks!
>>60871231
no problem mate, enjoy
>>60869080
deadbeef
It's the foobar2000 of the music player field, extremely customizable and plays just about every format you need it to.
>>60871372
What?
>>60869139
>I use botnet to play all the music in my library
>>60871372
Deadbeef will never reach Foobar levels of greatness, even in 2 lifetimes
>>60869080
Deadbeef.
I use Foobar but i use Windows. Sorry.
>>60869080
>blackplayer

Lots of create linux music players
>>60869080
>but it lacks an album cover view.
wut?
>>60872285
What don't you understand about that sentence?
>>60872298
are you fucking blind?
Deadbeef.
>>60872327
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 >>60871153 for a proper example.
>>60872298
nao?
>>60872370
Again, that's not what an album cover view looks like. See >>60871153
>>60872358
ctrl+E
>>60872384
I know how to edit my files thanks.
>>60869121
Mah nigga, gotta love audacious. Lightweight, good functionality, and even supports windows
>>60872407
isn't this what you're looking for?
>>60872427
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.
>>60872479
>feault
Not sure wtf happened there, default is the word I was looking for.
>>60872479
I actually like that.. it's nice
>>60872529
also you can add them in the playlist
not just for managing
>>60872529
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.
>>60872570
You can do that with cantata. In fact, you can do almost everything clementine does with cantata while not having a fugly interface.
>>60872804
Yes, looks interesting, I'll give that a try as well.
>>60869080
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
>>60869080
>>Terminal players
>plebshit
ncmpcpp is solid though, only feature it lacks is album covers
>>60873020
It's solid for what it is. It's not at all what I'm looking for though.
Is there anything that looks and acts like plain default foobar2000? No library integration stuff, no forced huge waveforms or album artworks, no rescanning, fairly minimalist but not terminal-like, with last.FM integration? Just a nice plain window where I can drag and drop my stuff and play them?
Only Rythmbox supports libre.fm so I use that.
>>60873020
You try getting images in your terminal.
>>60873009
>>60869080
mpd + sonata
>>60869121
Audacious is the fucking best desu
https://github.com/aspiers/opensuse-spotify-installer
>>60869080
running ubuntu but cli music players are pleb shit OKE
i use MOC + mocp-scrobbler
I like quodlibet
>>60873084
deadbeef
>>60869080
Lollypop
>>60873009
Only problem with cmus is that the library quickly becomes a clusterfuck when you have a bunch of compilations.
>>60869321
>Midnight oil
ayy lmao
>>60869125
Can confirm, jriver is great
>>60869080
MOC if you have a dick and balls.
mpd+whatever interface you want
>>60869080
Already tried cantata?
