Considering that I'm using Emby (selfhost), it's able to manage my music collection too and I can play the music from the web player exposed by it.

i use foobar because i can't live without dolby headphone

navidrome + ultrasonic

Feishin for me and occasionally strawberry

Is there a winamp clone?

Desktop/Laptop: Ncmpcpp + mopidy-mpd + jellyfin-plugin

Mobile: Finamp

Homeserver: Jellyfin

With this setup I'm able to manage and play my playlists on every device.

I have been bouncing between CLI/GUI and several there of. On the CLI side I'm flipping back and forth between cmus and musikcube. I prefer cmus as it seems faster and has vim key motions an commands, but I like the TUI of musikcube better, its just got soo much extra stuff I don't use. I'd love to find a rust rewrite of it that trimmed out the web-server and most of the plugins as I never use them (and yes all you suckless heads I know, I could edit source and rebuild it but... Ain't nobody got time for that).

Another point for these is being able to detach them, both work fine in detached sessions so I can start an album or playlist and just say that's it, back to work. I use Zellij but I imagine using tmux or whatever would work just as well.

Now as for graphical apps I tend to use Amberol or Rhythmbox depending on what I'm doing, honestly both go fairly unused most the time. But I like having options, Amberol is more geared towards playlist style music so mixtapes or albums not shuffle all. Whereas Rhythmbox will let me just click my library and go ... both have good integrations to the widget stack in gnome and cinnamon as well as bars like nwg panel and Waybar.

Ooh had a fun though and tested. Musikcube works better in tty mode. So I will sometimes open second users in tty mode with ctrl+alt+f(1-5) or even clone a session into tty mode. and i just checked and cmus doesn't draw the whole screen only whats highlighted. so if you have to drop back to shell or something musikcube is the better option... although i imagine if you're in that situation music players and such are not high on the priority list :/ .

mpg123 of course

Firefox (invidious). Its free, no ads, and I dont have to store files locally.

cmus

So fast and satisfying to navigate around

On Windows, I like Plexamp since I can keep all my music on a Plex server and access it whereever. There's a Linux version but I haven't tried it on Linux yet.

Fooyin's great so far as a Foobar2k alternative.

Spotube

Aqualung—does the small set of things I need it to, and is content to operate on files and directories rather than force the creation of a "music library" that doesn't in any way match how I categorize my music (although if you actually want a music library, it can do that). Only issue is that it's still GTK2, which may become a problem within the next few years.

cmus is my favorite, elisa is my second favorite.

Plex or Plexamp with Tidal integration.

I usually listen to music on YouTube when I'm using a computer. When I play my own music, it's from my Plex server with plexamp with a phone. I rarely use the plexamp desktop app.

MOC

I just use Navidrome's web client. It does everything I need. DSub on Android.

Haven't used it in a while but Amberol is simple (all I need) and gorgeous (which I care about).

Spotify-wayland on hyprland. And I also definetly dont have SpotX-bash, a great spotify adblocker installed!
