I use jellyfin it means I can listen from a bunch of devices and not need to duplicate my files which is handy when you have a large varied music collection

Jellyfin is awesome for both music and video libraries.
VLC
On Android it's the only one I've found that plays OPUS and organizes by album artist rather than song artist.
Poweramp on Android for my phone and VLC on desktop
Love this thread! Here is my setup (with some questions for the experts!):
-
For my """HiFi system""" (amp + loudspeakers) I use Moodeaudio in a Raspberry Pi with a HiFiBerry DAC hat, so it is a mpd with modifications reading my FLAC collection from a NAS (an Odroid XU4 with the custom case and a 3TB harddisk drive).
-
Connected to my amp there is an old Mac Mini Server 2011 which I use to download and "curate" music before it goes to the NAS. In macOS, VLC is my preferred way to listen to music, but sometimes I use Tidal to stream music. I tried Pine Player but it is unstable as hell, at least the version that you can install on High Sierra. Any solutions here?
-
I have a Navidrome instance running in my NAS and use Substreamer in my daily drive phone with a external DAC (Truthear) and Truthear Zero IEMs. I need help with Android resampling, how can I avoid it?
-
Also, I use an old iPhone connected to a Headphone Amp that I use as a network streamer. iOS doesn't resample sound :D with Substreamer. The headphone Amp powers an Audio Technica M40x headphones.
Still at foobar2000 :)
Quality? ✅ Performance? ✅ Usability? ✅ Powerful and Vast Add-ons? ✅ Massive DSP? ✅ Good Looking? ❌ (Easy to use UI, but man it looks Windows 98 as hell!)
Foobar2000 is a Fantastic choice if you do not care about the look of your player but only the quality and ease of use. At some point and time I remember Foobar had a ton of custom themes made by the community, but they all were a pain to install or remove. 😅
(I'm not an audiophile by any means, but for me Aimp and MusicBee did sound good as well, but I preferred Foobar since I had more control over DSP and other stuff...)
Strawberry is the way to go for linux users. Also Navidrome for streaming to my mobile
Vinyl (F-Droid)
was using this app for the longest time and really enjoyed it, but it had some issues with the metadata on some of my music, which was a shame.
I use plexamp. it's great.
Good old foobar is what I use. Sometimes I get weird though and listen with MPC
i used to use musicbee when I was still on windows, but I haven't found a compatible version for my linux distro. I ended up going with quodlibet instead, it has many of the same features and does a pretty good job of making my brain happy :)
I've been using MusicBee for a while on desktop and am pretty happy with it. I just set up Jellyfin, so we'll see how that goes -- so far I'm liking it.
Symfonium (Android) and Sonixd (Windows) to stream from my self-hosted Navidrome server. Has worked great for me with my 35k song library.
Strawberry on my PC, Poweramp on my phone. Currently I don't stream music.
Winamp my beloved
AIMP and Pot Player
mpd/ncmpcpp on desktop. Handles an absolutely massive music collection and very large music queue flawlessly.
Vinyl Music Player on Android. It's not perfect but it gets the job done
Rhythmbox, it is a really good gtk music player
mpd and ncmpcpp cause i wanna feel cool lol
What do you do for mobile? Is there a good app to stream from mpd?
on mobile i use blackplayer, but im not like sold on it. I don't think it makes sense to stream from my mpd instance to my phone cause for me the whole idea is local files for offline listening. but if i were to stream from my PC i would use navidrome/subsonic and not MPD
Poweramp and WACUP
Foobar2000 at home, an old iPod classic on the go
I'm loving Symfonium streaming via Navidrome/Tailscale, Spotify killer.
Kodi for 10ft interface, mpv or mpv+ranger for desktop/laptop/ssh.
Same. Symfonium has the most polish of the subsonic apps I tried. Don't miss Spotify at all.
Are you using the warwickh Kodi plugin? It's been working pretty well for me.
Sticking with Sonixd for desktop for now but watching the development of Feishin (MPV).
Foobar2000 (not version 2 yet, the old one works fine and I cba to have to troubleshoot anything).
CloudBeats on Android.
All my music (99% flac) is synced to my nextcloud VPS, which I can stream using CloudBeats.
I've been using Foobar on iphone and really like it. May end up getting it on PC as well. Only problem is that if I try to play stuff through my phone to my car via aux the car doesn't recognize any playable media. No issues using it through bluetooth though
Strawberry Music Player. Edit: And before of that, the excellent gmusicbrowser.
BlackPlayer Ex on Android. Worth the price for no ads, but you can, of course, find a pirated APK somewhere.
On Linux, QMMP for casual listening because of its WinAmp skin support and Kodi for a more organized view of my collection.
also musicbee for windows and simple music player for android, I don´t stream pirated music, I use a deezer modded apk
Plexamp on the go, musicbee at home base
I originally downloaded potplayer because my VLC had this weird issue where non of the UI would show, only the video stream and I couldn't fix it with reinstalls etc. etc.
I absolutely love it, and I recently been using it for listening to audio as well and it does a tidy job at that too. I use rekordbox for formating and organising my music, potplayer for listening to it now and poweramp on my phone.
Just a bonus - I use syncthing to automatically keep my phone music collection always updated with my latest tracks.
ncmpcpp on Linux as a mpd frontend. I started using it during the "I want to do everything in the terminal" phase of a linux user, and it kinda grew on me.
I stream it everywhere via Plex. Previously I used MusicBee on Windows, AIMP on Android, and Strawberry on Linux.
Harmonoid is pretty cool (though the dev is a bit of a dick.) Also Metro on Android.
I used Harmonoid too and I found it cool too though it lacks some features compared to other players. What did the dev do tho?
Kicked Damon (one of FMHY's mods) after he answered a question in their discord.
(these msgs have since been deleted)
Ayo didn't know about that, this is some bullshit..
poweramp on android and foobar on windows.
vlc
why?
it's just what i am used to and have installed, it plays the sound and that's good enough for me
I found VLC's Android app surprisingly good. It's easy to use folders as playlists and combine playlists if you want. The only issue I've had is I can't figure out how to have VLC auto-add songs I add to folders and how to add thumbnails to playlists
foobar2000 on my PC, Jellyfin through Finamp on my phone for what is essentially the Plexamp experience for free.
I use airsonic. So airsonic's webUI when on Desktop and Audinaut(on android) when on the go.
Dsub is still an awesome android app for subsonic. Feel like I need to replace air sonic but haven't found anything that works as well
Yeah. I seen that air-sonic has not been updated in quite a while. I would be willing to try something new. The only other one I know of is FunkWhale. But that is what I switched from. Airsonic worked a lot better for me. Funkwhale keeps getting updates though.
