Linux

I recently found cmus and have really taken a liking to it - mostly because it's really lightweight, and I love the novelty of my music player running in the terminal.

Oh and I get to do really cute, useless things nextt it

But I'll have to give Aqloss a try :)

With a webpage like that, I'm not surprised that no one takes it serious. Looks like it fell straight out of a startup. 😵‍💫

Anything you like about it in particular?

I've been using mpd with ncmpcpp for a long time. Recently found out about rmpc, which in really pretty

MPV

I like the fact that I can edit track info or automatically edit tracks in an album and add album covers in Clementine. Any music player alternatives that can do the same?

It does look nice. Layout is the hardest part to get right, there's no one size fits all, so opinionated players like that can run into a lot of empty space like shown in the screenshot.

My boring arse theming might give the wrong idea of Fooyin, but you can really make anything you want out of it, and layouts for every occasion.

Check out Gapless, it's minimal and has a beautiful UI.

Think music players are the software I'm most picky about and have switched multiple times. I'm kinda stuck between using Audacious and DeaDBeeF at the moment.

Either something has all the features I want but looks bland or outright ugly, Or it looks really nice but is lacking in playlist management or some other weirdness.

I don't think I'll ever find "the one".

I'm not talking a bout it because I'm still stuck on fooyin ;)

This website is aggressively bad. Why does my cursor have to disappear completely when I stop moving and become a gray circle when I do move it? Way over-designed.

Oh this is great, I've been using Elisa for a while, but this is so pretty & customisable, definitely gonna keep using this.

I'm fond of qmmp because it ticks the boxes: it fits sanely into my desktop aesthetic since you can use normal Qt theming, it supports MPRIS for integration into status boxes, and the download-lyrics plugin works (surprisingly rare, many onky surface embedded lyrics)

"ZHIEND is not rock! Its post rock!" God I miss that anime T~T

So much blank space on the screen though

I recently discovered Rufin and I'm so happy with it.

It meets most of my needs such as ListenBrainz scrobbling, Linux & Windows versions (and even a future Android one according to the latest release), Discord Rich Presence, and basically every other feature I would expect a local music player to have.

Bonus it is written in Rust 🦀

Will check this out!

I've been on the hu g for anything close go MusicBee which was my go to for managing and listening to my huge flax library

For now, RMPC and Tauon are both working well - but missing some features I'm used go having

Yes I tried strawberry but not crazy about it

I have to admit that it looks nice and full of features. Looking forward to try it.

Good shout ty
