Mine is Strawberry since it has a ton of options and plays a ton of formats. It’s also (distant) fork of Amarok 1.4 and integrates well with KDE Plasma. I’m curious what other people are using these days. What’s your favorite player?

First it was Amarok, then Clementine, and now it’s Strawberry.
Quod Libet
Still awesome!
I tried several and I very much appreciate Quod Libet
That said I’m interested in trying others’ suggestions 👌
dd if=/dev/urandom | aplayvim
Mom: switch that off!
Kid: I can’t!
VLC because it works with everything and it doesn’t try to organise my music collection for me.
MPD + Cantata
For the most part I just lump all my music into one playlist regardless of album or genre, but day to day I also use several different computers, and I find MPD to be the best for syncing configurations across all of them. Cantata also allows me to see album artwork and track information really easily and has good touchscreen support compared to terminal-based MPD clients.How do you discover new music? I’m the type that listen to the same thing over and over again but I realized even I rely entirely on autogenerated playlists of Spotify.
Sometimes I poke around Wikipedia and see what other artists collaborated with, influenced, or were influenced by artists I like, and buy their albums.
Sometimes I download highly-rated shows from random artists on Internet Archive’s Live Music Archive
Sometimes friends recommend stuff.
How do you download your music?
My client doesn’t have to answer that.
Spotify 🫥
Dies by open-source crowd linching
Foobar2000 has been here for YEAAAARS, and I don’t think there is a good enough equivalent for linux, and by that I mean playlist tabs, global shortcuts, etc
