Been enjoying Rhythmbox, what are your thoughts?
-
I tried out most (if not all) of the music players on flathub, but I always end up going back to Rhythmbox. It's so simple, lightweight, got just enough features (for my use case) and blends well with GTK Desktops (I mostly use Gnome and Cinnamon) and it looks so clean in my Nord theme
How has your experience with Rhythmbox? do y'all got any alternative you think everybody should give a try? I personally think Elisa is a close second!
My only complaint with Rhythmbox is that it lets you close it while playing a song and then the ui is gone but the song keeps playing. Insanity!

I've been a Linux user since 2005ish and a DJ since at least 2013. I've tried a lot of music players including Rythmbox. I settled on Clementine/Strawberry or Amorok, depending on use case. Haven't used either of them recently.
With that said, there is no right answer. Find one you like!

It still can't sort or browse by album artist, which makes it a real pain to use. You have to apply a patch and compile it from source to make it usable.
is there any alternative that works for you out of the box?

actually, it's the contrary for me!
I'm currently trying to find a way to make Rhythmbox behave just like that: keep playing even when the UI is closed -

This sounds like macOS (in a good way).

Absolutely classic music player. The iTunes 1.0 UI pattern, which was pre-enshittification. To my eyes, I still don’t think I’ve ever seen a more overall efficient and descriptive way of browsing a local music library.
Awww... iTunes is that bad now? Man....last time I used iTunes was probably 2010 or so. Bummer.

Side question that may be relevant since this is for local collections. Does anyone have a recommended tool for ripping and tagging audio CDs (e.g. with musicbrainz support)?
VLC? Been a long time since I've ripped a CD. Looks like most tools are no longer maintained.

There's musikcube if you're looking for a terminal based player.

Fre:ac seems to run in a wine package.

I prefer Quod Libet but I have fond memories of rhythmbox.

I love rhythym box, but had an issue getting it to show grillo dlna media shares, had to add dleyna packages and dleyna-grillo then everything was discoverable

I've been sticking with music players that can output directly through alsa. I settled on strawberry cause it can do that and also has other features that i care about baked in ootb. Deadbeef can also output directly through alsa and i liked it for the most part, but what i didn't like was that things like mpris support wasn't baked in, so i would have to mess with plugins. I don't know if there are any other players that can output directly through alsa, those are the only two that i could find so far.

the UI kinda looks like a QT based Rhythmbox. I'll give it a try later
I can't decide between Fooyin and Rhythmbox. I'd love to stick with Rhythmbox, but I really miss waveform view.

has dolby headphone
What does that mean?
there's a dolby headphone addon for it and it creates like a 3d sound. all alternatives I've tried so far suck ass.
