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.

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

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.
>>
>>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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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been updated a bit in recent versions on github (the last few months), so maybe distribution packages might be a bit outdated.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

Seems pretty intuitive to me lad.

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.

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.

>>
>>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

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

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.
