At this point syncing playlists across devices is my main requirement for a music library player.

I still have Spotify but I mostly use Plexamp now and have pretty much phased out musikcube. I still have a musikcubed service container pushing a large playlist on repeat/shuffle to a FM transmitter though.

It's the successor of Clementine.

I 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

I do too, but I found that it doesn't quite work well with stuff like .cue files the way it works with individual files.

With individual files I can at least (in console for example) `cycle-values keep-open always`, which makes mpv not continue to the next file after finishing the current file, however, it doesn't work when a chapter of a .cue file has finished, thus continuing on.

It 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.)

There's a large and growing number of music players for streaming from your own server. You get the best of both worlds by owning your music and having it accessible anywhere.

You don't need to always listen to new pieces of music to enjoy music. Once you realize that you can focus on owning the stuff you like and listen to that most of the time

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> 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…

Right - how could I forget Amarok ? And I too was pushed to Clementine by Amarok 2.0

Can vouch for Audacious, clean straight-forward UI and neat plugin functionality if needed (along with equaliser functionality which is what originally got me on board). Bit of a heavy feel from QT backend though so I might try out DeaDBeeF..!
