What music player do y'all like best for Linux (Ubuntu + GNOME)? I've got a lot of songs, organized as iTunes organized them. Looking for a simple player I thing, but a GUI.

I'm giving Clementine a try, and I know Lollypop is one to maybe check out?

@schlink I couldn’t get clementine to work so I use quod libet. Does the job. 🤷‍♂️

@schlink ncmpcpp! failing that, audacious bc it's very winamp 2

@schlink Quod Libet in album list mode is brilliant.

@schlink not GUI, but i really like moc (mocp on some systems). i like it so much i wrote a halfassed clone of it as a frontend to mplayer.

i also used to use amarok, but i think you have to install a lot of kde/qt deps to use it, i don't remember.

@schlink I don't know what the current state of the art is, but I always liked quodlibet: quodlibet.readthedocs.io/en/la

@schlink I wrote one a long time ago, that I still use, but I don't think anyone else does ;-) gssmp.sourceforge.net/

@schlink Audacious. Simple and does the music playing very well.

@schlink
My favorite was , years ago. But later I switched to (which I recommend) or moc (music on console).

Now, maybe for the last two years, I listen all music with Spotify or streaming Websites.
