Mine is Strawberry since it has a ton of options and plays a ton of formats. It's also (distant) fork of Amarok 1.4 and integrates well with KDE Plasma. I'm curious what other people are using these days. What's your favorite player?

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.

Foobar2000 has been here for YEAAAARS, and I don't think there is a good enough equivalent for linux, and by that I mean playlist tabs, global shortcuts, etc

i use foobar because i can't live without dolby headphone
I used to download my music with NewPipe and listen to it on Musicolet, but since then, i just gave up and got a cracked spotify client
I really like Elisa.
I mostly use it to listen to music that's not in my Jellyfin library yet but it does that beautifully.
Spotifyd
Plex or Plexamp with Tidal integration.
Firefox (invidious). Its free, no ads, and I dont have to store files locally.
Fooyin's great so far as a Foobar2k alternative.
Spotube
cmus
So fast and satisfying to navigate around
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.
MOC
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 just use Navidrome's web client. It does everything I need. DSub on Android.
cmus is my favorite, elisa is my second favorite.
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.
Musicbee with wine! I have never been able to find something that does it all as well as musicbee, and I've tried almost every single linux music player. I have a huge music library, I add a ton of music regularly. I need auto-tagging, i need to be able to sort, filter and search, a very customizable interface, all of the mp3 tags including obscure ones, gapless playback, configurable fade-in/fade-out, etc etc. With the exception of a few little nitpicks like not integrating well with the KDE media widget, and some occasional annoyances with pipewire, everything works great.
