Hello guys,
I'm looking for a music player, I have checked some wikis but none of those give me their personal opinion of the music players thus I would like to know your experience. Currently I am using musikcube as I just though it would look since since it can use your terminal colorscheme and I have also used Cue.
Anyway, what music player would you recommend for someone who has thousands of songs and wishes to create playlists seamlessly. Thanks in advance
Edit: Gave most of your recommendations a fair shot. In the end I decided to go for MPD + Ymuse since it was exactly what I needed plus Ymuse is gtk so its automatically themed for me. Thank You All Guys!
fair to say I was Ymused....
I started using fooyin recently, and it's good enough to have replaced running foobar2000 in WINE for me.
oh, Its in the AUR... nice!!
What is the appeal, I understand fb2k was the shit back in the days. But nowadays I want a music player with elegant defaults instead of customization?
Different strokes. If I preferred using software that was just good enough out of the box over something I can customize to my exact liking then I probably wouldn't be using Linux in the first place, or at least not the way I do in general.
Beyond that, having it be customizable means other people can change it to their liking and share that configuration, and maybe I'd experiment with it and find something I didn't even know I wanted.
That sounds like an excuse to waste lifetime. A good UI should be what makes or breaks an audio player. If I have to enter text queries to play songs this might work after I configured a script which handles all the shit I want to do OR the UI is in itself easy to use so I don't need to go to that length.
