This looks decent. Does it have a lyrics plugin?
Any player other than iTunes is just plain ugly
just use spotify
get a subscription. for the amount of music you listen to at least support artists a little bit.
foobar
or musicbee if you're stupid
>>65168799
Yeah, it does
>>65168828
>needing a music player to not be ugly
>>65169628
I used to use foobar, but it just wasn't worth the hassle. Musicbee is way easier to make look cool.
>>65169602
Nah I don't stream.
I go to concerts to support bands.
Where do I just download music? I cant find the band Im looking for (Little Brazil) on Pirate bay or anything, anyone else have sites?

Use the archive, soulseek and rutracker.
>>65168577
This, super its easy to customize too.
>>65169628
this guy gets it.
>>65168561
worthless attempt

I had no trouble customizing Foobar
>>65168552
With iTunes, Medieval Cue Splitter, Media Monkey and MP3tag you can edit and convert your files to anything you want
Been using foobar2000 for the past 5 years as my main music player
>>65168577
sounds nice
>downloading now
>>65170589
Mind posting a pic of how you have your foobar formatted?
i just want an alternative to itunes to sync my music
i cant take it anymore ive never seen such terrible software in my life music stops playing at random parts it's a drain on my system's performance it's shit at adding music without splitting them into 2 parts FUCK
>>65170934
ok what OS are you using and what kind of music do you have?
>>65171005
windows 10
dunno what you mean by what kind. if you mean genre, then its honestly all over the place. if you mean type of file, 320kbps mp3.
the problem is no player has a plugin for the most recent iphone models so im forced to use itunes to sync music on to it
>>65170502
thanks, I did and found nothing tho
>>65171567
I just opened up SoulSeek and found them in like ten seconds. Just look a little harder.
>>65168552
Foobar or Music Bee.
Don't know why people say Foobar is hard to use, I figured everything out by playing with it for 10 minutes.
>>65172504
I was talking about the archive
What's the best for playing most or all file types?
>>65172927
Foobar
Best mobile music player?
>>65170934
I've been using foobar for a few years now and the ipod manager plugin works like a charm, maybe try that
>>65171301
ur problem is having an iphone.
i fucking hate how much we're all getting cucked by tech companies nowadays. "Oh you have an iPhone? Better use iTunes bitch!" "Oh you have an android? Better like having all this Google Play shit locked onto your phone!"
God I hope I never have to be locked into an ecosystem. I want to have my own fucking files managed by my own self, and use any services from any company I want to.
Android at leas treats music logically, where you can, yknow, plug in your phone to your computer, and drag and drop your music files into the music folder on the phone's drive.
Fuck you iTunes and your shitty fucking sync. I don't need you to 'sync' my shit for me, just let me put the fucking files where I want to.
>>65172656
Piratebay is utter shit. Kickass is slightly less terrible. Rutracker is alright. The archive is decent. Soulseek and whatcd are god-tier.
>>65174488
that aint poweramp

>inb4 whatcd fags complain about slsk transcodes

Both are fantastic, go fuck yourselves
Been using xmplay for the past years. It reads every single format I can think of, from atari chiptunes .xm to studio .flac. It can convert files, has a simple yet effective library system, light on RAM and fast to boot, has a shit ton of free open source plugins to add functionalities, etc... I stayed clear of every Ishit products
>>65174685
transcodes are def an issue but i have a default filter for .flac on and you can almost always find those. Then flacsquisher is super easy and converts them to 320 for me. no transcode issues!
However very occassionally you wont find flacs, in that case well try your luck with a 320 and check in audacity real quick.
Since most users share their whole library, the chances of not finding at least a 320 are very low. Thatd have to be some obscure shit. I'd say the 320 zelection is better than what (despite occasional transcodes) but the flac selection is worse.

Blackplayer is pretty comparable to Poweramp.
I'm a huge fan of both, and Poweramp was my daily driver for a long time but Blackplayer has a better UI hands down.
