What's with these overly pretentious music players? I mean what's the appeal? Do people constantly look at their music players?
>>54632246
Non english os is a sign of retardation

I keep my OS in my native language, but install all programs in english. Works for me.
>>54632396
Software has to be function, a music player doesn't have to show me 3 differnt kinds of playlist swhere one shows the album covers, the other the albums I have and the third one which songs are in the currently selected playlist. This is just retarded and serves no function.
>>54632332
>he needs 2 apps to play music
"Linux is superior" they said
>>54632436
Left row is for filtering by artist, that is a function.
Middle row shows all my music as coverarts which let´s me find what I want to listen to faster than if I had to scroll through an endless list, that is a function.
Right row shows my current playlist, let´s me rearrange / remove / rate / edit items, that are multiple functions.
>>54632449
>>he needs 2 apps to play music
>"Linux is superior" they said
mpd is a music player daemon. A daemon is a service that runs in the background, like an httpd, or an ftpd. Both require an application to access, a web browser or an FTP client respectively.
Now the benefit of playing music through a daemon is that I can control it from the computer on which it runs, a smartphone, or a web interface. I don't have to be at the computer to play my music, like you do with conventional music players. For example it is great for party situations. My soundsystem is loud enough to be heard throughout the house, so I can walk around and control the music. Or have people at the party queue up songs so everyone gets a chance to choose a song.

It´s the latest musicbee version with this skin: http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=10884.0
the option to have rounded artist images can be found in the Layout(1) options
No one still uses Winamp?
I also use Firetube on my phone to listen to YouTube at work. It can run in the background, unlike YouTube.
>>54633010
too bad it was never finished and is quite buggy some times (it used to lose my view settings sometimes when I still used it)

>play music
Heavy as hell.
>>54632246
iTunes obviously
iTunes is locked down to hell and back, no flac
MusicBee is bloaty
Foobar2k has many broken skins
Winyl is extremely simplistic
Winamp is old and featureless
Groove Music-- does anyone even use that shit
Spotify is for low quality music
Clementine is like an ugly romanian cousin
>>54632332
This but I'm too stupid to configure it to use global keybinds on my laptop.

>>54633782
You need a specific software for your mp3 player? What the fuck?
>>54632246
Google Play Music with the chrome extension so I can use my keyboard media keys. Works fucking great. I put music on and never look at my player again, who the fuck cares what it looks like?

>>54633811
>>54633811
>never look at my player again, who the fuck cares what it looks like?
only true answer -- still we need something to argue about
also streaming your music on your home computer seems stupid
>>54633913
>also streaming your music on your home computer seems stupid
yeah i agree with you there but i am just too fucking lazy to download my music now and store it offline when my computer has a 300Mb/s internet connection 24/7. i can find and play something from gmusic in the same time as finding a song locally and playing.
>>54633027
>>54633766
I suppose those methods stream only audio instead of playing the video to the background. Otherwise they are both retarded and you should be using NewPipe or PVStar+ (closed and outdated; still works though) instead.
>>54633877
Did you know that before you bought the ipod?
>>54633950
Sell me on these, because otherwise I'm really pleased with Firetube.
>>54632611
Fuck iTunes, but I approves your glorious music choice
>>54633635
And that is why I stayed with aimp
>>54633635
>iTunes; no FLAC
Apparently Apple wants to promote their own lossless codec ALAC (fortunately open and royalty-free for some time now).
>Foobar2k; broken skins
Don't use skins. This isn't a problem of the developers or something they can fix.
>Winamp; old and featurless
Old maybe but far from featureless.
>Spotify; low quality
Spotify native program supports playing your own music including FLACs. Now why to use a mainly streaming program to play local music is another issue.
>Clementine; ugly
Indeed. Clementine is a nice player but it is ugly. Then again >>54633811.
>>54632246
DeaDBeeF
>>54632246
>not using steam to play just mp3 files
how do you guys even breathe
>>54634033
They can stream only audio. Except if you don't have such thing as data cap, then this doesn't apply. PVStar+ though is a YT music player allowing you make playlists and stuff.
>>54634064
Weird
Are you using OSX or Loonix?
>>54634096
OSX. I wrote a tiling WM in Hammerspoon and am a minimalist despite being a OSX user.
Audacious is great
>>54634084
Isnt pvstar dead though?
>>54634080
>>54634106
>despite
That's all you get with OSX, minimalist usability.
gmusicbrowser
it werks
>>54634160
Yes, but it still works and, as far as I know, there haven't been any better alternatives.
>>54634186
I meant compared to the average number/size/bloat of most apps you'll find on most OSX users' systems even "power users". I use really small alternatives and such like I've always done on Windows and Linux. I'm only on about my 11th month as an Applefag at almost 30 years old.
>>54634084
Firetube does all this.
Foobar or go home
>>54634333
Too much duplicated information. Lock your toolbar.
>>54634285
Yeah, I looked it up. I confused FireTube with another app. It seems it has a bit more polished interface too.
>>54634127

>>54634347
Spot all 8 appearances of the album's name.
How do i get that MusicBee / iTunes cover flow look on foobar?
Yup.
>>54634186
>minimalist usability.
This is how kids call featureless unconfigurable bloat these days?
>>54634055
AIMP is god-tier. Based commies.
>>54634394
Yeah it's sexy. I switched to it after trying out Qus, which is absolutely useless.

Deadbeef
mpd + ncmpcpp.
I have two options:
-Gather my current music, organize and tag it properly so I have a cute looking player with album art everywhere and this and that
-Fuck it just folder view on a simple list
Which would you choose?
I know I want to listen to music more than look at a fancy player, but sometimes it's nicer to have something neat and organized. I know that when I look at things like OP, that's just neat.
Anything that is not iTunes, but also downloads podcasts from iTunes?
>>54634786
>-Gather my current music, organize and tag it properly so I have a cute looking player with album art everywhere and this and that
This because organization is great.
>>54634829
>downloads podcasts
rss feed aggregator
there's a few good ones,
>>54634849
Well, to be honest I just play them. I just like how iTunes handles it but not the rest.
>>54632246
foobar on pc
phonograph on android
>>54634868
you can open your podcasts through a rss reader with your favorite media player.
Foobar2k on pc since upnp works with it
Can't find any decent upnp music players on android though
Mpc-hc with mpcscrobbler. Shuttle+ on my phone
>>54632246
Windows Media Player because I like having featured artists in the contributing artist field separated with semi-colons
>>54632246
Yo OP Daguri is really top-tier, great taste 10/10.

>>54632246

rhythmbox

>>54635505
>Windows Media
Is there any other media player that does this? This is the only reason I stick with WMP. I'd love to move away so I can put in higher res cover art but the way WMP organises stuff is too good.
>>54635788
Of course why wouldn't it? It's the latest version of Windows Media Player desu ='3 Unless you have Windows Vista which has the most superior version of Windows Media Player, you should definitely install Zune.
Winamp
>>54635879
MusicBee?, you can also put HR covers
>>54634749
>>54634767
them's some hot lookin players ill tell you hwat
>>54635879
Zune Player does it too :)
lollypop
>>54635994
MusicBee takes the semicoloned artist field, turns the semicolons into slashes and makes new categories as if they were different artists (pictured behind)
>>54636021
Installing nowww
>>54634406
What it do
>>54636021
It recognises the tags correctly but have the option to show all songs featuring X artist like WMP does. Only gives the Album Artist a category.
AIMP3
>>54632246
Hook me up with that theme
>>54636236
Try if you can change the columns in the Songs view.
if theres no open source alternative to fb2k on windows, see no point in switching
>>54636236 >>54636421
Try the Artists view also. Sorry if it doesn't get how you wanted it. I didn't realize what you were exactly asking.
>>54633702
Install mpc and libmpd
How do you use your phone to manage mpd tho?
>>54636236 >>54636463
Also make sure to open the Settings and uncheck Automatic metadata updates so it doesn't try to mess up your media library.
>>54632393
True. I remember how XP used to fuck up hard because I had a special character as account name.
Never again.
>>54636463
Ahhh it doesn't do it
It only shows the songs where they are the "Album Artist"
So say I know that a song has A, B & C contributing artists but featured on an album by D (as is the case with producers,) Zune will only show it under D whereas with WMP it will show it under A, B, C and D
WMP because it can tag all my pirated music perfectly
>>54632520
VEKTOR
>>54632246
>>54632636
Anyone know what skins these are?
>>54636631
TELL ME MORE
>>54636593
Ahhh okay. Well too bad. But still make sure to disable the media updates in the settings though >>54636513
. This should always be the first thing to do after installing any media players. Also be careful when you change the media information with a media player you haven't used before. Because for example when I changed a song title in VLC player, it locked it and didn't allow me to change it any more in WMP or windows file explorer. Apparently VLC uses a newer version of metadata. So I had no luck even when trying to remove all of the information in file properties. I eventually had to restore the file to an older version.
>>54632246
>windows 8.1 instead of 10
You're such a faggot familia holy shit
>>54636727
Create a copy of an MP3 before allowing a Media Player access to all of your media files. And test if it will corrupt the metadata when you change anything, including the album art.

>>54636631
>>54636646
Seriously, what is this?
>>54632246
vlc
everything else is obsolete and redundant
>>54635994
I was looking for something like this.
The issue I have is, I have a specific album collection with multiple artists. I'm not into tagging too much, but it would be nice to, instead of showing each album from this collection individually, I could put them all in a group. If they were done by a single artist, it would group them correctly but it's not the case.
Any ideas?
>>54632246
The great and powerful Winamp
Winamp for listening. iTunes for editing metadata
>>54632332
I can control it from my phone and watch out of the box wherever
>>54637505
You can sort them by album artists so it doesn't show like Ex: Kendrick Lamar Feat. Schoolboy Q
Any android music players that aren't complete ass?

Spotify. Why would I use anything else? It's not like I jerk off to .FLAC files and it works great.
Stock CM player on mobile and Winyl on desktop
foob
made the skin, working on a slimline skin as well. recently been having a problem with volume normilzation that was driving me insane, sounded like something was attenuating the source every time it peaked (despite not clipping)
turns out windows 7 has auto volume attenuation built into the directsound driver that you can't disable, even if you have all of the processing options disabled in the sound manager. solved it by using WASAPI in foobar and the output is much better
