I use musicbee and I find it to be perfect. Also used plex’s Plexamp to stream music to my phone, It genuinely feels premium and is worth the plex pass for this alone. Though I still used pirated .apk anyway lol
Strawberry is the way to go for linux users. Also Navidrome for streaming to my mobile
Good old foobar is what I use. Sometimes I get weird though and listen with MPC
I use jellyfin it means I can listen from a bunch of devices and not need to duplicate my files which is handy when you have a large varied music collection
Jellyfin is awesome for both music and video libraries.
Still at foobar2000 :)
Quality? ✅ Performance? ✅ Usability? ✅ Powerful and Vast Add-ons? ✅ Massive DSP? ✅ Good Looking? ❌ (Easy to use UI, but man it looks Windows 98 as hell!)
Foobar2000 is a Fantastic choice if you do not care about the look of your player but only the quality and ease of use. At some point and time I remember Foobar had a ton of custom themes made by the community, but they all were a pain to install or remove. 😅
(I’m not an audiophile by any means, but for me Aimp and MusicBee did sound good as well, but I preferred Foobar since I had more control over DSP and other stuff…)
Same here. Set it up once and it’s all good.
Plexamp on the go, musicbee at home base
winamp ftw
I’m loving Symfonium streaming via Navidrome/Tailscale, Spotify killer.
Kodi for 10ft interface, mpv or mpv+ranger for desktop/laptop/ssh.
Same. Symfonium has the most polish of the subsonic apps I tried. Don’t miss Spotify at all.
Are you using the warwickh Kodi plugin? It’s been working pretty well for me.
Sticking with Sonixd for desktop for now but watching the development of Feishin (MPV).
Plexamp on my phone, Plex via browser on my PC since Plexamp for Windows is garbage. Sometimes I still fire up my old iPod classic
VLC
On Android it’s the only one I’ve found that plays OPUS and organizes by album artist rather than song artist.
Poweramp on Android for my phone and VLC on desktop
mpd + ncmpccpccpp on desktop for me
vlc
why?
it’s just what i am used to and have installed, it plays the sound and that’s good enough for me
I found VLC’s Android app surprisingly good. It’s easy to use folders as playlists and combine playlists if you want. The only issue I’ve had is I can’t figure out how to have VLC auto-add songs I add to folders and how to add thumbnails to playlists
Now I’m curious if there is something else I shoukd be using lol. Vlc works well and I only listen to my ancient collection of music on my phone.
I use plexamp. it’s great.
also musicbee for windows and simple music player for android, I don´t stream pirated music, I use a deezer modded apk
Audacious has a very nice neat user interface and just werks on Linux and windows both
Musicbee on desktop, Musicolet on Android. The latter is honestly amazing feature-wise, lots of cool ways to browse my library.
QMMP (Winamp clone) on Linux Music Folder Player on Android
