Looking for local music player
(lemmy.ml)
Rad! Cool suggestion!
I use Strawberry
I wish they would get the rest of Clementine transferred over. I still use Clementine, it's more feature rich.
Seconded
If you are not afraid of terminal, mpd + ncmpcpp :)
Audacious is my favorite music player and it still supports the old winamp skins for those feeling nostalgic. It does tagging fine, not sure if there is a lyrics plugin but it does support tons of codecs and net radio streaming.
Pretty sure audacious does indeed have a lyric plugin that can look up the lyrics for you. I don't think it does timed lyrics though.
Not too bad. Is there anyway to setup crossfade?
Look into Mixxx if you're looking for crossfading. It's a DJ mixer type software, it can loop, auto-dj, auto sync bpms, and that's just what I discovered in the first week of using it. Only downside for me is the lack of navidrome support, but that shouldn't bother you.
EDIT: as for tagging, I use beets. Could go Picard if you want a GUI.
Probably, check the available plugins.
VLC?
The LibreOffice of music.
It works, does the job... I mean...
Not that it's bad.
MPD and pick your client.
Fond memories of sonata
I like Aqualung. Works well enough for what I do. Has the slightly unusual feature of accepting LADSPA plugins. I don't do much tag editing, but the basic functions are there.
Not sure how well it fits, but I tried astra based on a lemmy thread, and it's pretty good so far
I like Sayonara
This looks like something I'd like. I'll check it out, thanks!
I think i like strawberry the best out of the ones i've tried (i also tried deadbeef and audacious). Maybe it's an issue with my distro's package, but strawberry didn't want to play CDs anymore, which is pretty much the only thing i use these players for now, cause i have my music collection hosted with navidrome and then stream it with supersonic. So now i use audacious instead. I usually like to play a CD directly and listen to it before i rip it, so that's why i still want that functionality occasionally.
Quick question, does Fooyin export id3 tags? I've been looking for a player or tool that exports tags in batches.
Vinyl works good for me but hasn't been updated in a while. https://f-droid.org/packages/com.poupa.vinylmusicplayer/
MPV, VLC, AIMP kid3, MiXplorer for tagging haven't played around with lyrics that much

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
