Good old foobar is what I use. Sometimes I get weird though and listen with MPC
Music Piracy
Discussions on music piracy and music in general.
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.
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
Colibri Lossless under macOS, Foobar under Windows
Harmonoid is pretty cool (though the dev is a bit of a dick.) Also Metro on Android.
I used Harmonoid too and I found it cool too though it lacks some features compared to other players. What did the dev do tho?
Kicked Damon (one of FMHY's mods) after he answered a question in their discord.
(these msgs have since been deleted)
Ayo didn't know about that, this is some bullshit..
Strawberry is the way to go for linux users. Also Navidrome for streaming to my mobile
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.
AIMP mainly on android
Feishin on windows, Symfonium (paid) on android, both using jellyfin for the files

For android this is definitely the way to go
Melodista works well for me.
Plexamp on the go, musicbee at home base
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
Foobar2000 at home, an old iPod classic on the go
winamp ftw
Love this thread! Here is my setup (with some questions for the experts!):
-
For my """HiFi system""" (amp + loudspeakers) I use Moodeaudio in a Raspberry Pi with a HiFiBerry DAC hat, so it is a mpd with modifications reading my FLAC collection from a NAS (an Odroid XU4 with the custom case and a 3TB harddisk drive).
-
Connected to my amp there is an old Mac Mini Server 2011 which I use to download and "curate" music before it goes to the NAS. In macOS, VLC is my preferred way to listen to music, but sometimes I use Tidal to stream music. I tried Pine Player but it is unstable as hell, at least the version that you can install on High Sierra. Any solutions here?
-
I have a Navidrome instance running in my NAS and use Substreamer in my daily drive phone with a external DAC (Truthear) and Truthear Zero IEMs. I need help with Android resampling, how can I avoid it?
-
Also, I use an old iPhone connected to a Headphone Amp that I use as a network streamer. iOS doesn't resample sound :D with Substreamer. The headphone Amp powers an Audio Technica M40x headphones.
I'm loving Symfonium streaming via Navidrome/Tailscale, Spotify killer.
Kodi for 10ft interface, mpv or mpv+ranger for desktop/laptop/ssh.
I use plexamp. it's great.
mpd/ncmpcpp on desktop. Handles an absolutely massive music collection and very large music queue flawlessly.
Vinyl Music Player on Android. It's not perfect but it gets the job done
I use airsonic. So airsonic's webUI when on Desktop and Audinaut(on android) when on the go.
Dsub is still an awesome android app for subsonic. Feel like I need to replace air sonic but haven't found anything that works as well
I've been using MusicBee for a while on desktop and am pretty happy with it. I just set up Jellyfin, so we'll see how that goes -- so far I'm liking it.
Strawberry on my PC, Poweramp on my phone. Currently I don't stream music.
QMMP (Winamp clone) on Linux
Music Folder Player on Android
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
i used to use musicbee when I was still on windows, but I haven't found a compatible version for my linux distro. I ended up going with quodlibet instead, it has many of the same features and does a pretty good job of making my brain happy :)
Musicbee on desktop, Musicolet on Android. The latter is honestly amazing feature-wise, lots of cool ways to browse my library.
Symfonium (Android) and Sonixd (Windows) to stream from my self-hosted Navidrome server. Has worked great for me with my 35k song library.
Poweramp and WACUP
Audacious has a very nice neat user interface and just werks on Linux and windows both
also musicbee for windows and simple music player for android, I don´t stream pirated music, I use a deezer modded apk
At this point I literally just use heavily adblocked youtube for music. Newpipe lets me save local playlists on my phone.
Vinyl (F-Droid)
was using this app for the longest time and really enjoyed it, but it had some issues with the metadata on some of my music, which was a shame.
Winamp my beloved
I just use Winamp or Audacious on Linux (sometimes I also use Winamp on Linux too, cuz I have some mp3PRO encoded files in my collection and that thing only has a Winamp plugin, closed source unfortunatelly 🤷).
