In this article, we have put together a list of some of the most popular music players that you can install on your system and play your favorite music.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use Strawberry because one of the youtubers I follow uses it -lol- I’ve used Lollypop before when I was distro-hopping. It’s pretty nice. I think I’ll try out some of these other ones, like Amarok.
Nice to see Strawberry on the list, it should replace Clementine because, well, Clementine is no longer developed and Strawberry is a fork of Clementine.
Also, very happy to see my former favourite DeaDBeef on a list, I might give it a go again.
Lollypop has been my goto for a hot minute. Sometimes I’ll use cmus in a tmux session if I want to just load up some songs and hide the player.
To keep all the streaming services (Spotify, Tidal, Deezer etc.) consolidated, I use MellowPlayer.
Haven’t heard of that one till now. How does it compare to https://tizonia.org/ ?
Never heard of tizonia either ;-) CLI vs GUI… Anyway, I mainly use Tidal and currently there’s no support in tizonia from what I can see.
ok :) TIL : Tidal, a subscription-based music, podcast and video streaming service that combines lossless audio and high-definition music videos with exclusive content and special features on music.
Celementine is really good, I use it for my music. Also amarok: “It comes with a visually-appealing UI that easy to use and navigate.” lol
I am currently super charmed by Cantata, mpd client. And setting up the mpd server on a Rpi was not rocket-science. https://github.com/CDrummond/cantata/wiki/About-Cantata
