back when I used xubuntu I used gmusicbrowser.
Now, debian 12.5 netinst came with quod libet installed and it can handle 60k files so far.
note that my music collection is stored in 4 different SSD.
If there is anything better than quod libet, what would it be?
arglebargle ( @westyvw@lemm.ee ) English6•5 days agoStrawberry or Clementine. I mean 100K entries in a database is nothing. Even for SQLite. You can add multiple library locations, this is no problem.
You probably want Strawberry as it is newer and maintained, but I still like Clementine for the extra features that Strawberry doesn’t have yet. For you probably, not a big deal - things like podcast support, cloud support etc.

jrgd ( @jrgd@lemm.ee ) English3•5 days agoI’d imagine mpd with one of many frontends would work well enough. You’d just need to use a dummy music library directory with symlinks to your four music storages for mpd to pick up and catalog everything.
jcarax ( @jcarax@beehaw.org ) 2•5 days agoA couple others, if MPD looks appealing, are Navidrome and Mopidy.
bbbhltz ( @bbbhltz@beehaw.org ) 2•5 days agoAlready mentioned, but Strawberry is worth checking out. If Quod Libet works, stick with that. I liked it when I used it.
mpd has a number of frontends.
No longer developed I think, but I’ll mention gmusicbrowser as it used to be my go-to.
cmus is what I use now.
I also have a very large library and use Debian 12.5 so I’ll bookmark this thread for later.
hades ( @hades@lemm.ee ) 1•5 days agoI’m not sure what a “music jukebox” is, and how it’s different from a music player, but I would recommend to try mpd. It should work with your collection, although I don’t have personal experience with collections of this size. Some clients might also not have been designed to work with such collections, so probably you’d have to try several.
