Fooyin is my local player, it’s basically Foobar2000.
Finamp is what I use to stream songs from my Jellyfin server.
Gapless
VLC forever and always
Sayonara player on desktop.
Lollypop on mobile.
I feel like you just made that up.
HastaLavista on desktop
Locus in mobile.
Amberol or gapless depending on whether I want to have a built-in library
VLC.
But then I’m one of those strange people who doesn’t listen to music much, so maybe I’m missing a trick.
I listen to music a lot, and I also just use VLC. I have a well-sorted media collection and just drag whatever files/folders I want into VLC.
Been using vlc for… 15 years? Maybe more!
mpv. I have very simple taste.
Same, but that’s not a dedicated music player.

Is it not? May I ask if there is a specific reason?
I will admit I also use mpv like my default video player, but it still is my default audio player and use it like one, with playlists and stuff like that ;)
A dedicated music player would not just play the file, but could organize, show album covers, etc. I don’t use one, like you I use mpv for pretty much everything.
Thx, I had not considered those aspects.
Feishin, connected to my jellyfin server.
Rhythmbox for me. I was using Spotify for a long time but I’ve been dialing that usage back a lot this year. Another factor was that I have an older PC and when I play games it uses more resources than I’d like. I took the time and setup my playlists in Rhythmbox and I’ve been happy. It’s not winning any design awards but it does the job.
Strawberry, was the first one I got to work with my iPods and that’s my main use case
Fooyin’s great so far.
That’s what I use but honestly I find the UI frustrating. Its difficult to search and make playlists
I came over to Fooyin from Foobar2k, so the UI translated right over.
Feishin. It’s a navidrome/jellyfin player.
I love it, because it has smart playlists that are actually smart! It lets me create “random” playlists from my music collection, in a way that works for me.
Audacious
I use YouTube Music installed as a brave app with ads block on. I’m always connected to internet so I save storage space and time watching ads.
mpd with rmpc - unix philosophy at work. Have been rockin it for 3 years now. probably gonna stick with mpd for the rest of my linux journey.
Same. I’ve tried dozens of music players, but I always return to mpd, though I use Cantata as my front end. And M.A.L.P. allows me to control playback from my Android devices.
I also quite like QuodLibet, but my computer has a bug where the music randomly pauses when using Gstreamer (which QL uses), so for the most part I use mpd.
