Recently switched to Linux and have been looking for alternatives for Musicbee, which I used for ages in Windows. I guess I could make it work with Wine but thought I’d ask here for suggestions first. Features I’m looking for are not a lot to ask IMO:
- Music folder can be anywhere, not only ~/Music
- In the list of songs by a given artist, I can sort by album year, but the tracks within each album stay in the correct order
- The player remembers where I left off the next time I open it
I’m using Rhythmbox and it’s great but unfortunately it doesn’t do #3 (if I missed some setting let me know please).
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Best options from the comments were Strawberry and Quod Libet. I think I’ll go with Quod Libet. Thanks all for the suggestions.
You must log in or # to comment.
Another one for Audacious, especially with the Winamp themes. :-)
I also use mpv a lot when I need something from the terminal inside Tmux.
I use Lollypop
I use Gapless. it’s pretty simple, but i mostly use it because it doesn’t look like absolute buns. i think it has what you want.
I’ve seen Strawberry mentioned a lot but I’m definitely not a fan of its looks haha. Gapless on the other hand looks pretty sleek. It’s a bit less intuitive perhaps but I might give it a shot
AIMP Linux native version has been released, worth a try
mpd + ncmpcpp

Elisa, from kde
Tauon has been great.
You can have a look at this list : https://www.linuxlinks.com/best-free-open-source-music-players/
There are many music players, none of them is extremely good. I like Sayonara.
Amarok if you have a really large collection.
What about Navidrome as a server and Feishin as the client.
Or my second backup system mpd + rmpc (terminal music player with artwork support)
If you like the command line aesthetic… Auditorium.
Or Kew
it’s not open source (it’s free though) and runs on linux through wine, but i like aimp.
I like Sayonara
