Well, I have to say that Harmonoid is the best one I’ve found, it has a ton of cool features, it works and it allows you to be able to see your collection by album and it doesn’t use Electron. Right now its development has stalled a bit but it’s still pretty much in good shape, though.

Thanks OP, this type of posts is honestly the only thing I can say that I miss from Reddit, I hope people keep making posts like this here.

Have you tried Strawberry? It’s the best one out there, imo.
- theghostoutside_ ( @theghostoutside_@aussie.zone ) 7•1 year ago
I want to like Strawberry as a way to connect to Subsonic server on Linux, but it’s just so clunky. I hate list view, as well as the theme…
- const_void ( @const_void@lemmy.ml ) 2•1 year ago
Which theme? If you configure it right it should match the system theme. Here’s what mine looks like on Plasma 5, Breeze Dark.

Have you tried Sublime Music (GTK)? I used other (Electron) alternatives but Electron sucks, Sublime Music feels pretty fast.
- const_void ( @const_void@lemmy.ml ) 3•1 year ago
I have and it’s great but I use KDE so I prefer a QT-based player
Yep, and that is why Cantata is still the best music player for the QT environment.
- const_void ( @const_void@lemmy.ml ) 1•1 year ago
Sadly development stopped over a year ago. Strawberry is still very active though.
Yes, well developed stopped years ago. Maintainers hip stopped a year ago. Still the best however and I will use until it breaks!

Need to make the switch, still using clementine, I like the Visualizations Clementine has that are missing in Strawberry.

For Viz I like projectM (clone of the old MilkDrop), available through Steam.
- TechieDamien ( @TechieDamien@lemmy.ml ) 3•1 year ago
Can confirm, strawberry is great!

I just want winamp in working order.
- LoafyLemon ( @LoafyLemon@kbin.social ) 5•1 year ago
QMMP supports Winamp skins, that’s what I’m using, it’s fantastic.
- moonsnotreal ( @moonsnotreal@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 1•1 year ago
I tried qmmp a while ago and it is unusable for me because it doesn’t have the library view that winamp had (at least that I could find).

Unfortunately, this is not actually free software, it is distributed under an EULA: https://github.com/harmonoid/harmonoid/blob/master/EULA.txt

I still miss armarok 1.4.10
- jonne ( @jonne@infosec.pub ) 3•1 year ago
Is Amarok still a thing? I stopped using players a few years back in favour of Spotify, but I’m considering self hosting a collection again, and I remember Amarok being the best player by far.
- nyan ( @nyan@lemmy.cafe ) English2•1 year ago
TDE still supports it, but I’m pretty sure KDE no longer does. So you can still get it, but it will require a little extra work.
- jonne ( @jonne@infosec.pub ) 1•1 year ago
I’ll probably end up using a streaming server or something. I use too many disparate devices these days where I want things to work more like Spotify instead of your traditional Winamp style player.
- mycus ( @mycus@kbin.social ) 9•1 year ago
I like Tauon Music Box.
Python based. Relatively easy to compile. It’s also on flathub.
- lckdscl [they/them] ( @lckdscl@whiskers.bim.boats ) English7•1 year ago
Reminds me of MusicBee, good ol’ days.
- NekuSoul ( @nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de ) 7•1 year ago
It’s the only thing I’m actually missing after my switch to Linux.
Music playback and organization, file conversion, replay gain and exporting to USB devices all in a single program with a highly customizable UI on top. So far I haven’t found anything that comes even close to replacing all that. Too bad it isn’t open source.
- CALIGVLA ( @Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English7•1 year ago
Looks nice, a little bit basic though. I’m still using Foobar2000 for my local files, haven’t found anything better even though I’ve looked.
- skankhunt42 ( @skankhunt42@lemmy.ca ) 3•1 year ago
I thought Foobar was windows only?
- CALIGVLA ( @Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English3•1 year ago
Yes, Harmonoid is also on Windows, hence why I commented.
- prenatal_confusion ( @prenatal_confusion@lemmy.one ) 5•1 year ago
Harmonoid is Linux native, not wine.

- theghostoutside_ ( @theghostoutside_@aussie.zone ) 6•1 year ago
Looks gorgeous. Unfortunate that Subsonic is under “likely impossible” features, but I will try this on my home PC at least.
- selokichtli ( @selokichtli@lemmy.ml ) 1•1 year ago
What do to you use right now to connect to a Subsonic server? I’ve used Strawberry and Sublime. Is there something else?
Oh, wait, there’s also this mopidy backend that works fine but can’t remember if it’s Mopidy-Subsonic or Mopidy-Subidy.
- theghostoutside_ ( @theghostoutside_@aussie.zone ) 2•1 year ago
- selokichtli ( @selokichtli@lemmy.ml ) 1•1 year ago
Never heard of them before, thank you, I’ll be checking them out.
- Iam ( @Iam@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 6•1 year ago
I always defaulted to VLC, though I’ve recently gone and looked at Audacious.
- Chris ( @floppy@rabbitea.rs ) English4•1 year ago
I like Audacious. It does everything I need it to do and doesn’t have an oversized webesque GUI.
Harmoniod looks nice but I think the GUI would annoy me (pretty as it is). I might try it out though.
- Hot Saucerman ( @dingus@lemmy.ml ) English5•1 year ago
I’ve been using PlexAmp for a long time, but I’ve had a lifetime subscription to Plex for several years now. They have versions for Linux and a headless version you can run on a Raspberry Pi (this one still requires PlexPass).

Jellyfin for FOSS, plex fork

Really pretty! Honestly such good Ux. Love the player at the bottom.
- Rogers ( @Rogers@lemmy.ml ) 5•1 year ago
I haven’t heard of harmonoid but will for sure be trying this out! It looks great

Just wondering why use invidious over piped?

I find it interesting how large the difference between tastes regarding music players is. After the development of Cantata ceased, I was unable to find any mpd client that I liked and decided to write my own instead (if anyone is interested, the code is available at https://github.com/dokutan/cmpdc)
