Music Players
Music Players
Hello guys,
I'm looking for a music player, I have checked some wikis but none of those give me their personal opinion of the music players thus I would like to know your experience. Currently I am using musikcube as I just though it would look since since it can use your terminal colorscheme and I have also used Cue.
Anyway, what music player would you recommend for someone who has thousands of songs and wishes to create playlists seamlessly. Thanks in advance
Edit: Gave most of your recommendations a fair shot. In the end I decided to go for MPD + Ymuse since it was exactly what I needed plus Ymuse is gtk so its automatically themed for me. Thank You All Guys!
fair to say I was Ymused....

I use Strawberry personally.
If there's any other Cantata enjoyers reading this thread while feeling sad that it's not maintained anymore, Strawberry is the closest alternative.
I'd been using Cantata for many years but recently switched to Strawberry. It's pretty good, the dynamic playlist feature is the closest I have found to cantata's though it still behaves a bit differently in details which is a bit annoying :/
I too have noticed a number of minor behavioral differences that I've found annoying, but it is what it is. This was the closest I could find to an active fork of Cantata, but nothing has been released at this time, though the dev has expressed interest in a Qt6 port.
The website is quite tight-lipped regarding features. Whatâs a âsmart playlistâ?
You can set certain filters and it will automatically fill the playlist with tracks matching those filters. For example I have a smart playlist set to contain all tracks that I rated 3 stars or higher.
There are some canned choices like "50 newest tracks".
