Music player - What are you using?


Question

Hey folks - was just about to go looking for Foobar, but wondered if there's any decent music players that I'd missed out on that all the kids are using these days?

I'm using Windows, dont want to use iTunes or Windows Media Player, just wondered what was 'cool and hip' these days?

For the last year or so I've been using AIMP 3. It's an amazing music player. Light on resources, sounds great (better than foobar), and it has some really decent looking skins, that don't require lots of files to get working. It's like winamp, but better.

Windows: Foobar2000

OS X: iTunes

Linux: DeadBeef

Do you want a music player or music manager?

Music player = Foobar 2000

Music manager = iTunes, MediaMonkey, etc.

Just a player tbh, doesnt have to be flash, I just havent played MP3s on my PC in ages and figured Id probably missed out on something.

Looks interesting, will give it a look :)

For Windows, Foobar 2000 just because it's stupidly flexible and I can tie it in to my LCD panel and notification system and I don't actually have to see the thing. (Media keys and/or taskbar controls, don't need all sorts of bling on the screen.) When I occasionally feel the need to fire up my BSD partition, Banshee, but it's a bit dusty.

Well, this is what personally works for me. If you like it, I could always upload my theme file for you so you can have a head start.

Winamps always been my favourite, I like FLAC so it does well playing that, its simple and does what I need whilst not being totally ugly like some others I've tried (foobar)

I like how I can have artists/albums and tracks all displayed at once with a playlist also.

I started using J-River for a while also, I quite liked that.

    • On xiaomi hyperos there's also an option to disable google assistant. I've got everything disabled. Only thing I do have installed is a web wrapped for duck.ai which claims to let you use various AIs anonymously
    • I need to understand the rationale of not shipping all of these K2 improvements in a single update/release. It's giving "we will fix Windows 11 but no commitments". It seems to me that they just announce these improvements just to appease the community.
    • The term "RTM" is long gone starting with Windows 10. Every current release is a GA build. This is the result of MS making Windows as a Service (WaaS).
