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!
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
-
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 closedNo idea why you want that, but still... does this help any?

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.

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 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.

Well i personally doesn't like big screen audio player like clementine or rhythmbox, i like music player as simple & mini as possible like QMMP

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.
