From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Music Players (feddit.cl)

Hello guys,
I'm looking for a music player, I have checked some wikis but none of those give me their personal opinion of the music players thus I would like to know your experience. Currently I am using musikcube as I just though it would look since since it can use your terminal colorscheme and I have also used Cue.
Anyway, what music player would you recommend for someone who has thousands of songs and wishes to create playlists seamlessly. Thanks in advance

Edit: Gave most of your recommendations a fair shot. In the end I decided to go for MPD + Ymuse since it was exactly what I needed plus Ymuse is gtk so its automatically themed for me. Thank You All Guys!
fair to say I was Ymused....

I use Plexamp on my phone, but I use ncmpcpp and mpd on my towers and laptop. I think both players suite my purposes well.

I started using fooyin recently, and it's good enough to have replaced running foobar2000 in WINE for me.

What is the appeal, I understand fb2k was the shit back in the days. But nowadays I want a music player with elegant defaults instead of customization?

Different strokes. If I preferred using software that was just good enough out of the box over something I can customize to my exact liking then I probably wouldn't be using Linux in the first place, or at least not the way I do in general.

Beyond that, having it be customizable means other people can change it to their liking and share that configuration, and maybe I'd experiment with it and find something I didn't even know I wanted.
