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.

I wish Strawberry had the ability to delete music files. Aside from that it's probably the best player in the Linux ecosystem.
You can delete files in Strawberry. Right click a file in the Files tab in the sidebar and click Delete from disk.
For some reason in the Linux Mint version this isn't possible ☹️
I just use the flatpak
Thank you for the idea, never thought about that 😅
Just make sure it has read/write permissions for your music folder
Strawberry, built upon Clementine is quite nice (in it's looks), but although it does remember the chapter I was in, it won't remember where I was in that chapter. If I click on that chapter, it would just begin from the beginning. Audacious solves this to some extent.
I usually use audacious for streaming audio, but with its playlist feature I'd be surprised if it didn't remember the spot in a file.
Thank you! Audacious worked. But, worked in a manner which I didn't prefer.
You see, if you download a audiobook from Internet Archive and it has chapters written into them, Clementine or Strawberry player would expand those chapters and show them as separate. But, audacious weirdly enough doesn't do this, it views the whole audiofile as one file and doesn't view any chapters. I like Audacious and I am likely retiring Clementine and Strawberry, but it would be nice if I could see the whole file as a playlist.
I use audacious for my flac files and yes, it does remember position.
A music player maybe like clementine
Clementine, just like it's fork Strawberry will remember which chapter you were in (which file of the playlist you were playing when you exited the application), but it won't remember your location in that file. This is troublesome if you are playing chapters with length of 43 mins - 1 hour as I am. Audacious helps me with this thought.
Quodlibet can do this.
Thanks for the link, but imma stick with Audacious for a while, saying your comment tho.
Amberol, looks modern and cute.
Good, I am going to date her
mpd can be used for this, by configuring a state file. Then you can use a client like ncmpcpp for the terminal or f.ex. Cantata for gui. I believe that Cantata can be used to set up mpd for you, but I've never used that feature,
I have been using cozy for audiobooks and it works quite well.
I also convert everything to m4b so i can put it on my phone and I setup all the metadata for ripped audiobooks but if you have a single file that should also work just fine with cozy
It's definitely overkill for just one audio book, but Plex can do that, I'm pretty sure. And if you wanted/needed to you could also stream it from that PC to just about any other device on your own network for free (they have paid options that wouldn't apply to your situation; probably being able to stream your media server content to remote networks).
I haven't tried to do this. But maybe Kodi? Jellyfin might also work.
Check if MPC-HC does it
I can't help with music specifically, but for audiobooks, I have found that nothing can beat AudiobookShelf. It is a self hosted service much like plex and jellyfin, but it is made specifically for audio books.
It was such a huge improvement to the way I listened to my audiobook files that I wish I had found it sooner.
Also i use AIMP on android
