Been enjoying Rhythmbox, what are your thoughts?
-
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.

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)?
Last time I had a PC with an optical drive, I used the built-in features of Dolphin, and using a different software for metadata.
If you use KDE, it's hard to find a good reason to do otherwise. It will usually get metadata from CDDB, but on the other hand for metadata It's really hard to beat Picard or Beets.Beets will also scrape the lyrics and add them to the metadata, beside acousticbrainz goodness, multiple genres from Last.fm, and more. Picard will do most of this as well.

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!
I think its almost perfect, just need a plugin to be able to show lyrics synchronised with the song

I'm just going to use this opportunity to publicly grieve again for Winamp fake becoming open-source:

There's musikcube if you're looking for a terminal based player.
I used to use cmus before the streaming services got to me

I also use Rhythmbox, the UI is clean and simple. Other music players either are too complicated (UI has too much clutter, play queues) or want to automatically import all audio files in my home directory into the library, which is annoying. But to be fair, I haven't tried a lot of other players, because I'm happy using Rhythmbox.

You can have a look at this superb list for you to test other softwares : https://www.linuxlinks.com/best-free-open-source-music-players/
Tauon is really, really great. But because it is not the most stable on my system (arch) I mainly use Strawberry which is also great.

Rhythmbox has been my main music app for over 15 years now. Every now and then I'll check out other options but I always end up back after a couple days.
I do wish they would give the UI some attention. Nothing major, just a few visual tweaks to bring it inline with modern Gnome (the alternative toolbar plugin is really close)

I use it occasionally but mostly I use terminal players like cmus or musikcube (aliased to mcu, because... geek)
Mostly I live in my shell with zellij and do basically everything on cli. Even web browsing (allbeit non graphical) can be done with stuff like lynx or w3m. And for fanfiction that's fine.

I like Strawberry, for two reasons:
-
It was the first player I found that supported playing directly to a pipewire sink, without going through the Pulseaudio compatibility layer.
-
It can stream hi res FLAC files from Tidal.

If you are an audiophile, nothing beat QuodLibet right now.

Love Rhythmbox! I used it way way back when I first installed Ubuntu (back when it was good) and it was part of a special nostalgic feeling of having been ushered into this new linux world, and I think it lets you rate your songs 1-5 stars (if you want) and I had a lot of fun doing that.

I personally would like the album cover to be a bit larger

Just out of curiosity, what advantages do you think cli apps have for this sort of application? Is the experience snappier?
