After the codeberg repo was taken down that a lot of people used to use, I wanted to let people know of another one that has popped up.

Enjoy!

What's so great about this music player?

[-] TwiddleTwaddle@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 days ago

Its a continuation of the now deprecated Clementine music player, which was aiming to bring the Foobar2000 UI and plugin functionality to a modern FOSS cross platform state. That's off the top of my head, but I followed the Foobar->clementine->strawberry pipeline over the years because I like the Milkdrop2.0 visualizer plugin.

If I remember correctly, Clementine was not trying to bring Foobar to Linux, but trying to preserve the UX/UI of Amarok 1.4 after the release of Amarok 2.0 (which was not well received by the community).

Closest thing i've found to Musicbee on Linux. It does Album Artist unlike so many others I tried.

It's quite a nice player for that purpose, and I was able to move over all of my favorites and ratings without too much trouble either. I chose it purely because it's FOSS and met my needs on my distro. If you're willing to use freeware on something like Windows specifically though, idk.

I use it under Linux. Looks descent. Nice for batch encodes. Tagging and library management.

Personally I like it because it makes managing my music library really easy. Especially when it comes to keeping everything organized in a way my Plex server likes as well.

It really depends on the individual. Some people really hate the outdated looking UI and don't have much use for the audiophile features.

Speaking of audiophile features, might one of those features include the ability to adjust track replay gain? I have a ton of music I have to adjust and don't feel like downloading a whole separate program to do it.

I don't think so. There is a thread on the official forums about it from 2023 which indicates it can only read replay gain tags from third party software.
