I use musicbee and I find it to be perfect. Also used plex's Plexamp to stream music to my phone, It genuinely feels premium and is worth the plex pass for this alone. Though I still used pirated .apk anyway lol

Good old foobar is what I use. Sometimes I get weird though and listen with MPC

[–] Toothpickjim@lemmy.fmhy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] PhasedMoon@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Jellyfin is awesome for both music and video libraries.

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

[–] damn@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

mpd + ncmpccpccpp on desktop for me

[–] fapsmcloud@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Colibri Lossless under macOS, Foobar under Windows

[–] ggt@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Harmonoid is pretty cool (though the dev is a bit of a dick.) Also Metro on Android.

[–] Voltage@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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. proof 1 proof 2

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

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...)

[–] Harpuajim@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Same here. Set it up once and it's all good.

[–] Zal@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

AIMP mainly on android

[–] DankMemz@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Feishin on windows, Symfonium (paid) on android, both using jellyfin for the files

[–] MavTheHack@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago
[–] PocoGoneLoco@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Melodista works well for me.

[–] Kratos_Aurion@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Plexamp on the go, musicbee at home base

[–] FujiTive@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] FullOfBallooons@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Foobar2000 at home, an old iPod classic on the go

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.

[–] knowncarbage@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Supermariofan67@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Unmapped@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I use airsonic. So airsonic's webUI when on Desktop and Audinaut(on android) when on the go.

[–] festival8204@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] KickMeElmo@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Strawberry on my PC, Poweramp on my phone. Currently I don't stream music.

[–] Fleppensteijn 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

QMMP (Winamp clone) on Linux

Music Folder Player on Android

[–] BlueMoon@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

vlc

why?

it's just what i am used to and have installed, it plays the sound and that's good enough for me

[–] CorrodedCranium@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

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 :)

[–] god@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Musicbee on desktop, Musicolet on Android. The latter is honestly amazing feature-wise, lots of cool ways to browse my library.

[–] chrisbit@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Symfonium (Android) and Sonixd (Windows) to stream from my self-hosted Navidrome server. Has worked great for me with my 35k song library.

[–] duck@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Poweramp and WACUP

[–] CumLord02@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Audacious has a very nice neat user interface and just werks on Linux and windows both

[–] DubShinzou@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

also musicbee for windows and simple music player for android, I don´t stream pirated music, I use a deezer modded apk

[–] buckykat@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

At this point I literally just use heavily adblocked youtube for music. Newpipe lets me save local playlists on my phone.

[–] Spider89@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] slowwcore@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] MF_@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Winamp my beloved

[–] slowwcore@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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 🤷).
