Well, I have to say that Harmonoid is the best one I’ve found, it has a ton of cool features, it works and it allows you to be able to see your collection by album and it doesn’t use Electron. Right now its development has stalled a bit but it’s still pretty much in good shape, though.
Unfortunately, this is not actually free software, it is distributed under an EULA: https://github.com/harmonoid/harmonoid/blob/master/EULA.txt
I just want winamp in working order.
QMMP supports Winamp skins, that’s what I’m using, it’s fantastic.
I tried qmmp a while ago and it is unusable for me because it doesn’t have the library view that winamp had (at least that I could find).
Audacious has a winamp mode and supports winamp skins.
Thanks OP, this type of posts is honestly the only thing I can say that I miss from Reddit, I hope people keep making posts like this here.
Haha currently I use VLC beta from the Ubuntu PPA, ran through Distrobox as I am on Fedora and they dont seem to damn care about RPMs. Also no beta Flatpak, even though this beta is sooo good, new UI and flac fixes.
I haven’t heard of harmonoid but will for sure be trying this out! It looks great
thanks op, I’ve been meaning to rip my digital music collection
Have you tried Strawberry? It’s the best one out there, imo.
Can confirm, strawberry is great!
I want to like Strawberry as a way to connect to Subsonic server on Linux, but it’s just so clunky. I hate list view, as well as the theme…
Have you tried Sublime Music (GTK)? I used other (Electron) alternatives but Electron sucks, Sublime Music feels pretty fast.
I have and it’s great but I use KDE so I prefer a QT-based player
Yep, and that is why Cantata is still the best music player for the QT environment.
Sadly development stopped over a year ago. Strawberry is still very active though.
Yes, well developed stopped years ago. Maintainers hip stopped a year ago. Still the best however and I will use until it breaks!
Which theme? If you configure it right it should match the system theme. Here’s what mine looks like on Plasma 5, Breeze Dark.
Need to make the switch, still using clementine, I like the Visualizations Clementine has that are missing in Strawberry.
For Viz I like projectM (clone of the old MilkDrop), available through Steam.

I like Audacious. It does everything I need it to do and doesn’t have an oversized webesque GUI.
Harmoniod looks nice but I think the GUI would annoy me (pretty as it is). I might try it out though.
Really pretty! Honestly such good Ux. Love the player at the bottom.
Looks gorgeous. Unfortunate that Subsonic is under “likely impossible” features, but I will try this on my home PC at least.
What do to you use right now to connect to a Subsonic server? I’ve used Strawberry and Sublime. Is there something else?
Oh, wait, there’s also this mopidy backend that works fine but can’t remember if it’s Mopidy-Subsonic or Mopidy-Subidy.
Never heard of them before, thank you, I’ll be checking them out.
Reminds me of MusicBee, good ol’ days.
It’s the only thing I’m actually missing after my switch to Linux.
Music playback and organization, file conversion, replay gain and exporting to USB devices all in a single program with a highly customizable UI on top. So far I haven’t found anything that comes even close to replacing all that. Too bad it isn’t open source.
I’ve always used VLC and my file manager :-P
Aqualung for me, but I don’t use 90% of its features. It was the first thing I found that had a good-enough GUI but didn’t try to force music library functionality on me (it has it, but it’s willing to let me leave it off and just use the directory structure I long ago optimized for the weird nature of my collection).
I use Guayadeque for basically one reason only: it supports multiple libraries/collections. I wish more players had this feature. My collection is basically unmanageable without it, and it’s large but not that large (about 30k tracks). Are they any other players that support multiple libraries?
Been looking for an alternative for iTunes for ages. iTunes runs like hot garbage on my PC, but for me it just seemed like there just wasn’t anything like it for offline music playback an d management. This looks very promising, I’ll definitely check it out. Thanks!
