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!
Clementine or strawberry for me
-
Fooyin is also a solid choice.
the UI kinda looks like a QT based Rhythmbox. I'll give it a try later
-
Been liking Amberol lately, but it's extremely simple. Nice UI though.
I enjoyed it at first, but it was too simple for my personal use. What it lacked the most for me was a playlist management, I didn't find any option for that feature

I like cmus best.

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)?

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.

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!

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 -

I use audacious with a winamp skin.

What does that mean?

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.

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 Looks like most tools are no longer maintained.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.
