I use jellyfin it means I can listen from a bunch of devices and not need to duplicate my files which is handy when you have a large varied music collection
Jellyfin is awesome for both music and video libraries.
Strawberry is the way to go for linux users. Also Navidrome for streaming to my mobile
Still at foobar2000 :)
Same here. Set it up once and it's all good.
Quality? ✅ Performance? ✅ Usability? ✅ Powerful and Vast Add-ons? ✅ Massive DSP? ✅ Good Looking? ❌ (Easy to use UI, but man it looks Windows 98 as hell!)
Foobar2000 is a Fantastic choice if you do not care about the look of your player but only the quality and ease of use. At some point and time I remember Foobar had a ton of custom themes made by the community, but they all were a pain to install or remove. 😅
(I'm not an audiophile by any means, but for me Aimp and MusicBee did sound good as well, but I preferred Foobar since I had more control over DSP and other stuff...)
Love this thread! Here is my setup (with some questions for the experts!):
-
For my """HiFi system""" (amp + loudspeakers) I use Moodeaudio in a Raspberry Pi with a HiFiBerry DAC hat, so it is a mpd with modifications reading my FLAC collection from a NAS (an Odroid XU4 with the custom case and a 3TB harddisk drive).
-
Connected to my amp there is an old Mac Mini Server 2011 which I use to download and "curate" music before it goes to the NAS. In macOS, VLC is my preferred way to listen to music, but sometimes I use Tidal to stream music. I tried Pine Player but it is unstable as hell, at least the version that you can install on High Sierra. Any solutions here?
-
I have a Navidrome instance running in my NAS and use Substreamer in my daily drive phone with a external DAC (Truthear) and Truthear Zero IEMs. I need help with Android resampling, how can I avoid it?
-
Also, I use an old iPhone connected to a Headphone Amp that I use as a network streamer. iOS doesn't resample sound :D with Substreamer. The headphone Amp powers an Audio Technica M40x headphones.
Harmonoid is pretty cool (though the dev is a bit of a dick.) Also Metro on Android.
I used Harmonoid too and I found it cool too though it lacks some features compared to other players. What did the dev do tho?
Kicked Damon (one of FMHY's mods) after he answered a question in their discord.
(these msgs have since been deleted)
Ayo didn't know about that, this is some bullshit..
Plexamp on the go, musicbee at home base
winamp ftw
Plexamp on my phone, Plex via browser on my PC since Plexamp for Windows is garbage. Sometimes I still fire up my old iPod classic
Melodista works well for me.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.symfonik.music.player
For android this is definitely the way to go
Colibri Lossless under macOS, Foobar under Windows
vlc
why?
it's just what i am used to and have installed, it plays the sound and that's good enough for me
I found VLC's Android app surprisingly good. It's easy to use folders as playlists and combine playlists if you want. The only issue I've had is I can't figure out how to have VLC auto-add songs I add to folders and how to add thumbnails to playlists

I'm loving Symfonium streaming via Navidrome/Tailscale, Spotify killer.
Kodi for 10ft interface, mpv or mpv+ranger for desktop/laptop/ssh.

I use airsonic. So airsonic's webUI when on Desktop and Audinaut(on android) when on the go.
Dsub is still an awesome android app for subsonic. Feel like I need to replace air sonic but haven't found anything that works as well

Foobar2000 at home, an old iPod classic on the go
I've been using MusicBee for a while on desktop and am pretty happy with it. I just set up Jellyfin, so we'll see how that goes -- so far I'm liking it.
AIMP mainly on android
Feishin on windows, Symfonium (paid) on android, both using jellyfin for the files
Audacious has a very nice neat user interface and just werks on Linux and windows both
Musicbee on desktop, Musicolet on Android. The latter is honestly amazing feature-wise, lots of cool ways to browse my library.
Winamp my beloved
mpd/ncmpcpp on desktop. Handles an absolutely massive music collection and very large music queue flawlessly.
Vinyl Music Player on Android. It's not perfect but it gets the job done
QMMP (Winamp clone) on Linux
Music Folder Player on Android
At this point I literally just use heavily adblocked youtube for music. Newpipe lets me save local playlists on my phone.
Musicbee for local playback. Used to use plex but I switched to jellyfin and use symfonium on my phone to access it.
I've been quite happy with plexamp
Plexamp worked pretty well when I tried it, I just prefered to move to something open sourced when I moved my host pc
Strawberry on my PC, Poweramp on my phone. Currently I don't stream music.
also musicbee for windows and simple music player for android, I don´t stream pirated music, I use a deezer modded apk
I use plexamp. it's great.
Symfonium (Android) and Sonixd (Windows) to stream from my self-hosted Navidrome server. Has worked great for me with my 35k song library.
Foobar2000 (not version 2 yet, the old one works fine and I cba to have to troubleshoot anything).
CloudBeats on Android.
All my music (99% flac) is synced to my nextcloud VPS, which I can stream using CloudBeats.
I've been using Foobar on iphone and really like it. May end up getting it on PC as well. Only problem is that if I try to play stuff through my phone to my car via aux the car doesn't recognize any playable media. No issues using it through bluetooth though
Strawberry Music Player. Edit: And before of that, the excellent gmusicbrowser.
I originally downloaded potplayer because my VLC had this weird issue where non of the UI would show, only the video stream and I couldn't fix it with reinstalls etc. etc.
I absolutely love it, and I recently been using it for listening to audio as well and it does a tidy job at that too. I use rekordbox for formating and organising my music, potplayer for listening to it now and poweramp on my phone.
Just a bonus - I use syncthing to automatically keep my phone music collection always updated with my latest tracks.
