I use cmus, have used to it and it works very well. I will not claim it is the universally best.

I like Deadbeef and Audacious, but at the moment I'm using Audacious a lot more because it has a better equalizer. I haven't tried Quodlibet, sorry.

Quodlibet seems to have a great equalizer in plugins, very similar to DeaDBeef and Audacioud wouldn know to say which one is better, thats why i asked

its has over 80 plugins.. a lot of things there

wouldnt be better Guayadeque or Rythtmon for that kind of linux player.. gmusicbrowser doesnt seem very popular to me, I think is not available in most repos.

cmus would be amazing if were able to play cloud music, specially youtube like mps-youtube...
I love mps-youtube but is not continued.. so Im using tizonia with youtube and soundcloud

New one???, trying right now

Crazy thing, its a windows10 music player framework...peace of ugly monster ... dont like it at all..but i undestand it can have its kind of public.- for tastes nothing is written...I prefer Clementine or Strawberry style in this case...Uninstalling!!

Did you install the Windows 10 version with Wine?

It is a KDE project and integrates perfectly with the Plasma desktop.

Clementine and Strawberry are nice, but none of them integrate well in Plasma.

DeaDBeeF and Audacious are my current favorites. I'm not sure yet which one of the two I like more, but I've been using DeaDBeeF the most lately. I only recently found out about DeaDBeeF; I've been using Audacious for some years. Either one of those seems like a better fit for me than Quod Libet (which I haven't played around with much).

looks like this, and that thing its a Microsoft software; even saw same icons like windows login icon..
I think elisa might use a .Net framework or a very similar java's one

It seems like a good music app, very cool and elegant, but very simple to my taste and guess same for most of people..doesnt look like linux kind of app

integration surelly is good, but its out of tune for linux..

I found out QuodLibet recently , and thought is litle known yet doesnt seem less than the others two.. Im using it now to play soundcloud music, was using tizonia command line, but tizonia doesnt allow me to playback fordward....Im very happy , now i can listen soundcloud music propertly with a linux client and tiny cpu consume.

You are obviously trolling, and that screenshot was as atrocious as the rest of your desktop.

Elisa is using

KDE Frameworks 5.78.0
Qt 5.15.2 (built against 5.15.2)
Window system xcb

Thanks for sharing information about QuodLibet; I'm going to try it out when I get home from work.

Try josemariomusik artist, I spend days and days listening same artist, It has like more than 200 tracks hours duration, very good music
, Its great cos you dont need to add tracks to playlist its able to play them from search.. furthermore it remember last search, so you just need to open up player and start shuffle listening last search



you can use playerctl to control player with shortcuts , in plugins you enable mprid-dbus to be able to control it with playerctl..

here, Example scritps I use:

toggle_quodlibet.sh toggle play/pause

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#
export MPD_HOST=192.168.1.128
MPDP=/home/myuser/.mpd

PID=$(pgrep -f  /app/bin/quodlibet)
 if [ -z $PID ]
then
echo "Toggle mpc"
else
echo "Toggle QuodLibet"
mpc pause

if playerctl --player=quodlibet status | grep Playing >/dev/null      # If mpd is playing
then
 echo "playing"
 playerctl --player=quodlibet pause
 else
 playerctl --player=quodlibet play
fi

 exit 2
fi

toggle2_quodlibet.sh To play next track

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#
export MPD_HOST=192.168.1.128
MPDP=/home/myuser/.mpd

PID=$(pgrep -f  /app/bin/quodlibet)
 if [ -z $PID ]
then
echo "Toggle mpc"
else
echo "Toggle QuodLibet"
mpc pause

if playerctl --player=quodlibet status | grep Playing >/dev/null      # If mpd is playing
then
 echo "playing"
 playerctl --player=quodlibet next
 else
 playerctl --player=quodlibet next
 playerctl --player=quodlibet play
fi

 exit 2
fi

restore_quodlibet.sh To restore in foreground quodlibet when trayicon plugin is working

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#

PID=$(pgrep -f  /app/bin/quodlibet)
 if [ -z $PID ]
then
echo "Toggle mpc"
else
flatpak run io.github.quodlibet.QuodLibet &
flatpak run io.github.quodlibet.QuodLibet &
exit
fi
