Serious question, why do you use mpd instead of just organizing your music and using a normal player.
Clementine.
Too lazy to take new picture it's the one on the left
>>54215228
damn that browser's ugly
I like the music player though

>Serious question, why do you use mpd instead of just organizing your music and using a normal player.
This is such a ridiculously open-ended and biased question that I can't possibly hope to answer it.
I doubt your claim of seriousness.
>>54215044
Try Black Player, I haven't used anything else
>>54215289
So then you admit it's because you're trapped in 1978 and enjoying doing more work for the same or worse functionality?
>>54215310
Black Player's lock screen menu leaves things to be desired. Especially when working out and anything farther than the lock screen is a huge fucking hassle.
>>54215275
wrong nigger
>>54215203
I tried audacious but idk, I didn't like it that much...
>>54215221
Clementine makes my computer freeze, and imo has too many options I don't even use
>>54215228
used ncmpcpp for quite a while, I liked deadbeef better
>>54214634
I like this, especially the tunes
>>54214936
This is okay, a bit too much text for my liking.
>>54215001
I don't like the player but I like the taste (you fucking weeb, what are you doing listening to Hindemith).
>>54215044
>>54215310
basically all mobile players look similar but Sleep is great
>>54215203
This is nice. I love the color palette.
>>54215221
I used Clementine a lot back in the day and it's still butt ugly. Listen to more music too, man.
>>54215228
Run of the mill command line player but risky putting Kendrick there. You cuck, good on you.
>>54215354
>This is nice. I love the color palette
You have terrible taste
>>54215368
Talk shit post fit. Grey and green are good.
>>54215354
>Miles
>Refused
>Minutemen
>Mobb Deep
good taste, good player
>>54215321
Why don't you like it? Its simple, it works.
>>54215354
Sleep is fucking awesome
I like your foobar layout, the only thing I miss from windows is foobar
>>54215405
Huh, when I was using it, it was missing either the next/prev track or exit buttons
I'll probably use it now then
>>54215448
I like it a lot, it's full of customization options.
Quod Libet is the best music player for Linux.
>>54215466
great comp
tag better tho
AIMP3 with ncmpcpp skin
>>54215478
nevermind the "VA, Fabrizio Paterlini, Headphone Commute" threw me off
>>54215310
Does Black Player support FLAC?
>>54215494
Are you fat?
>>54215494
yes!
>>54215506
Damn, I might just switch to this. The UI is really pretty.
>>54215466
I also like quodlibet, I use it every now an then.
>>54215516
It really is pretty, you can sort albums, have different grid sizes, a couple of themes
Comfy
>cli based music player
how do you even function in society
>>54215635
Easily.
>>54215613
I like it, it really does look comfy
>>54215466
You mean the laggy, buggy perl shit with 1000 special snowflake never used for anything else dependencies that's a complete clusterfuck to configure?
roast me
>>54215741
I'm not even gonna try, it isn't worth the hassle
>>54215741
I won't say anything - life has to be hard enough for you already.
>>54215062
gmpc whips the llama's ass, I use it even on Windows for that reason.
mpd is very useful and easy for me. Even if I were to use a "normal player", I'd just point it to my music directory and drag and drop music to that directory.
mpd is a normal music player as far as I'm concerned
>>54215062
Assume you have a life, a job, and some real hobbies
Do you
>laboriously fix tags across various downloaded and ripped albums, many too obscure (read: japanese) for automatic services to get right
or
>just use the EZ-PZ filesystem layout instead of tag search
>>54215767
Yes it is, my bad for calling other players "normal". It always comes down to personal preferences I think, I tried using mpd but I'm a lazy fuck so I didn't want to config my library and all that stuff.
>>54215793
mpd is actually made for lazy fucks, you just point it to your music directory and it just werks. Then you can clienthop all you want while keeping the same setup.
Other players require significantly more configuration and they're made for dragging and dropping. I remember how updating my huge music folder in foobar2000 lagged everything up in the GUI. Keeping the player and client separate eliminates that.
The only downside to mpd for me is how gmpc is no longer updated, and the lack of good non-cli clients.
Maybe I'm not making perfect sense, but that's how I see it
>>54215793
Also I forgot to mention how mpd clients tend to favor directory view, which is my preference for music browsing. Tag browsing makes me want to pull my hair out if something is mistagged. But shit is rarely mis-directoried
>>54215959
I feel you, whenever something is misstagged it only gives me more reasons to kill myself. I'm trying different players right now and I've been using deadbeef for a couple of weeks. I'll try using mpd again. What frontend do you recommend? I don't want to use ncmpcpp again
>>54215989
gmpc. As I said, I use it even on Windows. and unlike foobar2000, it's good out of the box
>>54216023
I'll give it a try, I'll bring some updates in a coup of minutes
>>54215312
What answer do you want to hear?
>>54215312
I dunno man, I've seen normies take days of their life organizing and tagging their music all because their player forces it
>>54216023
Nope, I prefer the drag n drop think
>>54216312
if you can drag and drop it to your player, you can drag and drop it to your music directory
MPD
no screenshot required i should think
sometimes i use sonata as a frontend but usually i use MPDroid
Is there anything even slightly close to foobar on Linux? The only thing that keeps me from going full time.
>>54217155
just go with MPD
there is literally no better choice
>>54217155
thank god, there is nothing, so fags like you are kept away from using gahnoo+loonix
>>54217174
2016
No gui
>>54217202
there are many GUI clients you can use with MPD, along with plugins and widgets and networkable smartphone apps
>>54217257
Anything that just works? Like a remade build with all the basics in already?
Haven't needed to use anything other than Spotify for like the last 7 years or so.
>>54217202
NO GUI!! THEREFORE IT IS BAD!! I DONT HAVE BABY CLICKY WICKY BUTTONS, UR PROGRAM SUCKS!!!!!
why do u guys use a specific program?
my setup, I have ranger and mps youtube
>>54214634
nice fedora music
>>54217277
i honestly dont really know of anything. i tried MPD some time ago and quickly decided it was absolutely perfect for me.
look up foobnix
apparently its supposed to be a clone of sorts. your other options are using foobar with wine which is supposed to work pretty well
>>54215354
What kind of skin is this?
>>54217293
There is no excuse to not have a GUI for an every day media program.
>>54217314
Thanks.
>>54217329
why? the fuck do you need a gui for music for?
do you seriously use a mouse to pick albums?
>>54217329
>>54217329
why is there a need for anything as simple as something to play music??
bonus: i can control MPD and stream to any other computer or phone in my house
I stopped caring once my theme got deleted by mistake.
>>54217370
How small is your library?
Do you not que up tracks from different ends of it ever?
>>54214634
Literally the same as yours just dark theme
>>54217419
A GUI client for MPD
>>54217382
Good job, I just want something that works, not something I need to learn how to use.
>>54217494
most of the clients are simple as fuck to use.
still dont understand what the problem is
>>54217592
If you can't understand, just imagine setting your grandma up with it and explaining how to use it, and how long would it take for her to memorize it.
>>54217637
no longer than any other music player with sonata as a client. maybe even easier to learn than some other options when you get down to it. all other features of MPD can be easily ignored if all you want to do is play music locally
>>54217702
So suddenly you're talking about GUI.
I'm out.
>>54217713
not suddenly
have been pointing out that there are numerous GUI options for MPD if one requires GUI which itself is a bit redundant when youre just going to be playing music on a local machine
>>54214634
teh best
>>54217419
yes, my music library is around 400 albums
i use the / search like a fucking normal cunt, not some spastic who requires big clicky buttons
>>54217155
foobar2000 in Wine, I still use it to convert music. Never to play music though
Stock Chinkme Note 3
Inb4 why
Just werks
>>54217702
>>54217758
I don't see how an added feature (detachment of server and client) can make a program unusable for you.
>>54214634
why?
Something like this
>>54217866
That looks really unusable compared to how it used to look.
>>54217873
It looks and works fine. If you REALLY want the old layout you can use it.
>>54217843
wrong person?
perfectly happy with MPD
>>54217866
>>54217886
I feel bad for iTunes users who now have to update to that...
>>54217899
I misread, sorry
>>54217866
>>54217886
>people implying MPD is complicated
grandma would shit her pants if she were still alive
>>54217900
Just use Soundjam MP anon
>>54217900
Why?
You realize that second picture isn't much different from how iTunes has been in the past, right?
>>54217926
Why would I use mpd when none of it's front ends are as nice to use as iTunes?
This might come as a shock to you, but I don't use things based on what others approve of. Crazy I know.
>>54217947
sound like the standard macfag
just saying
>>54217973
And you sound like a typical Archfag. If I thought mpd was better than iTunes I'd be using it.
Also forgot to mention all the remote control apps for mpd on Android are shit. The iTunes remote app works all the time.
>>54217987
>arch
nah, bro
use whatever you want. apple products make me want to punch a baby. tried to like mac but it obviously hated me
>>54218004
I didn't say you were an archfag, I just said you were acting like one.
I have a feeling you tried OS X with an "Apple sucks" bias. But honestly unless you had hardware it runs well on, be it a purpose built hackintosh or an actual Mac, you'll probably have a less than great experience anyway.
>>54218034
i borrowed a friends new macbook pro for a while actually. i was in the market for a new computer and so he left it with me because he was a bit excited that i might be getting a mac too. i really did want to like it but i kept hitting brick walls that simply do not exist in linux. pretty sure i got accustomed to a level of freedom that doesnt exist in any other common OS besides GNU
in the end my friend ended up installing debian on his macbook after about a year
>>54218034
>tfw you like mac but not enough to justify the price
Guess i'll just be over here with my G4 tower.
>>54218081
You're right. Linux is a lot more flexible, but if you're not programming or trying to run servers on your computer then OS X actually isn't that much worse.
For instance I'm using my screenshot script that I wrote in 2011 for my Gentoo install and all I really needed to change was scrot to the OS X equivalent.
At least we're not using Windows.
>>54218102
Build a hackintosh or just get a 2011 Mac.
>>54214634
Musicbee is best.
>>54218122
I cant even justify getting an old intel one. Thinkpads have spoiled me. Plus, i would rather have a gayming pc instead of a hackintosh. Retro PPC based ones are fun though. Especially with OS9.
>>54218122
it was a lot more than just that.after using linux for 10 years i became rather particular about layout and behavior and i wasnt able to tailer OSX to my eccentric way of computing without fighting it.
mac was like paint by number. you could chose the colors but the image was already set whereas linux is very much a blank canvas.
for example, i have 4 desktop environments chopped together into something peculiar to anyone else who has ever seen me use it. watching someone else using my system is like watching someone trying to learn klingon
>>54218139
bit redundant to have two cover arts, two play bards and two two volume / control points
>>54218232
True, I usually only pop out the right panel when I want to check some lyrics though, so it would usually look like this:
>>54214634
Comfy as fuck
>>54218139
>>54218232
>>54218265
I love this thing it does with the album art colour too, notice the tracks section when you select an album is coloured based on the artwork.
>>54218293
Oh damn thats nice, is that a specific theme or just a new update?
>>54218265
looking a lot nicer
>>54217419
My music library is about 15,000 songs and I have zero problems navigating + controlling my playlist using the keyboard
Faster and easier than doing it with a mouse, too
My music player is Youtube lol
>>54218335
Thanks man. I love it, never going back to MediaMonkey now. It does everything I want it to, uses less memory, and works faster. Plus looks AMAZING.
I'm using the 'Dark' skin and the latest version, but I think it's done the colour thing for a while.
>>54218377
The glitch mob is fustrating, they have a unique sound but all their songs sound the same.
>>54214634
At work, so it's pleb-mode.
Easier to use Google Play than tote around my whole collection.
>>54217947
You will always face derision from someone who can't grasp that you are not trying to impress them.
Same shit, different thread.
>>54218393
their shit also gets boring very fast.
>>54218707
totally, it was good the first listen but they dont do enough
It's just a music player man.
Is their anyway to turn smoothscrolling on in musicbee?
never understood why people want more thing in their music players. Just play the music, I dont need to see album art or some shit like that.
>>54214634
mpd+ncmpcpp. Skål.
>>54219250
album art and grid view can be faster for some.
Plus its aesthetically pleasing, as its supposed to compliment the music.
>>54219250
If you add one album to your library every day then it'll be handy to have columns with genres and such to stay organized
>>54219250
I simply prefer click on artist, click on album, bam instead of having to scroll anywhere
>>54218370
Out of curiosity what kind of music players do you like?
>>54217706
Not a big fan of your player but I like your taste in dubstep
>>54215635
Why would you need a graphical user interface to play audio?
