Very (very) longtime user, with just under 10K albums I can peruse. Took me a while to tweak everything in the UI to my tastes, but now I can't imagine using anything else to listen to streaming music.
And yes, I really do have that many albums. Most of them are LP's and CD's, the rest are from places like Bandcamp (https://bandcamp.com/jerhewet).

#54It feels like music players are becoming a thing for old geezers, like everything that requires you to have your data on a local disk. The 'modern' approach is just streaming everything off the net, no local storage required.
(I'm writing this as a disapproving old geezer, just in case it wasn't clear.)

> Strawberry is better for me but still kind of janky Strawberry isn't the most solid program (a few times a year, its search hiccups and gets stuck for a few seconds), but it carries the torch of Clementine's UX - which is my ideal music listening experience.
Which itself carried the torch of Amarok 1.x's UX. No software rewrite, not even GNOME2→GNOME3, ever hurt me as much as Amarok 1.4 → 2.0 Compare Amarok 1.4: https://amarok.kde.org/files/amarok14/shot7.png To Amarok 2.0 alpha 1: https://web.archive.org/web/20110820190636/http://blog.lydia... It was so widely disappointing that the “Amarok 2.0 FAQ” had an entry for “IMO Amarok 2.0 looks terrible” even though that's not…
Ouch. I loved Amarok 1.x back in the day. That was... something.

#57I don't need music player on my pc, because mpv can be used for playing music. It also supports zip archives, so albums from bandcamp can be played without unpacking

Whoever is taking the screenshots has good taste in music.

Plexamp is a good player for your local files (personal server) that you can stream.

You're wrong. When a library is native to some system, it does not mean that it is always shipped with the system. It means that it runs directly, without an interpretation layer in the runtime.
So GTK3 is native to Linux/Xorg. The desktop environment is irrelevant, and may not be based on GTK3.
