What audio player do you use to play your pirated music collection?

Good old foobar is what I use. Sometimes I get weird though and listen with MPC

I use jellyfin it means I can listen from a bunch of devices and not need to duplicate my files which is handy when you have a large varied music collection

Strawberry is the way to go for linux users. Also Navidrome for streaming to my mobile

VLC

Still at foobar2000 :)

winamp ftw

Melodista works well for me.

Love this thread! Here is my setup (with some questions for the experts!):

• For my """HiFi system""" (amp + loudspeakers) I use Moodeaudio in a Raspberry Pi with a HiFiBerry DAC hat, so it is a mpd with modifications reading my FLAC collection from a NAS (an Odroid XU4 with the custom case and a 3TB harddisk drive).

• Connected to my amp there is an old Mac Mini Server 2011 which I use to download and "curate" music before it goes to the NAS. In macOS, VLC is my preferred way to listen to music, but sometimes I use Tidal to stream music. I tried Pine Player but it is unstable as hell, at least the version that you can install on High Sierra. Any solutions here?

• I have a Navidrome instance running in my NAS and use Substreamer in my daily drive phone with a external DAC (Truthear) and Truthear Zero IEMs. I need help with Android resampling, how can I avoid it?

• Also, I use an old iPhone connected to a Headphone Amp that I use as a network streamer. iOS doesn't resample sound :D with Substreamer. The headphone Amp powers an Audio Technica M40x headphones.

For android this is definitely the way to go

I use airsonic. So airsonic's webUI when on Desktop and Audinaut(on android) when on the go.

Foobar2000 at home, an old iPod classic on the go

Colibri Lossless under macOS, Foobar under Windows

vlc

why?

it's just what i am used to and have installed, it plays the sound and that's good enough for me

I'm loving Symfonium streaming via Navidrome/Tailscale, Spotify killer.

Kodi for 10ft interface, mpv or mpv+ranger for desktop/laptop/ssh.

Plexamp on the go, musicbee at home base

Plexamp on my phone, Plex via browser on my PC since Plexamp for Windows is garbage. Sometimes I still fire up my old iPod classic

Harmonoid is pretty cool (though the dev is a bit of a dick.) Also Metro on Android.

Musicbee on desktop, Musicolet on Android. The latter is honestly amazing feature-wise, lots of cool ways to browse my library.

AIMP mainly on android

Feishin on windows, Symfonium (paid) on android, both using jellyfin for the files

Vinyl (F-Droid)

Strawberry on my PC, Poweramp on my phone. Currently I don't stream music.

At this point I literally just use heavily adblocked youtube for music. Newpipe lets me save local playlists on my phone.

Audacious has a very nice neat user interface and just werks on Linux and windows both

mpd/ncmpcpp on desktop. Handles an absolutely massive music collection and very large music queue flawlessly.

Vinyl Music Player on Android. It's not perfect but it gets the job done

QMMP (Winamp clone) on Linux

Music Folder Player on Android

also musicbee for windows and simple music player for android, I don´t stream pirated music, I use a deezer modded apk

I've been using MusicBee for a while on desktop and am pretty happy with it. I just set up Jellyfin, so we'll see how that goes -- so far I'm liking it.

Symfonium (Android) and Sonixd (Windows) to stream from my self-hosted Navidrome server. Has worked great for me with my 35k song library.

Winamp my beloved

Musicbee for local playback. Used to use plex but I switched to jellyfin and use symfonium on my phone to access it.

I use plexamp. it's great.

+1 for Musicbee, easily the best performing and looking out of the box, although foobar is also good if you invest some ime configuring it to the way you want.

For Android I prefer Blackplayer EX, I just find it the most pleasant looking.

Foobar2000 (not version 2 yet, the old one works fine and I cba to have to troubleshoot anything).

CloudBeats on Android.

All my music (99% flac) is synced to my nextcloud VPS, which I can stream using CloudBeats.

Strawberry Music Player. Edit: And before of that, the excellent gmusicbrowser.

poweramp on android and foobar on windows.

foobar2000 on my PC, Jellyfin through Finamp on my phone for what is essentially the Plexamp experience for free.

ncmpcpp on Linux as a mpd frontend. I started using it during the "I want to do everything in the terminal" phase of a linux user, and it kinda grew on me.

Jellyfish / Finamp

Elisa is in the KDE suite of applications, so I use that. I used MusicBee in the past, good stuff

Clementine is kinda dead but still awesome imo

i used to use musicbee when I was still on windows, but I haven't found a compatible version for my linux distro. I ended up going with quodlibet instead, it has many of the same features and does a pretty good job of making my brain happy :)

Rhythmbox, it is a really good gtk music player

MusicBee or Foobar2000

I just use Winamp or Audacious on Linux (sometimes I also use Winamp on Linux too, cuz I have some mp3PRO encoded files in my collection and that thing only has a Winamp plugin, closed source unfortunatelly 🤷).

Most of my library is actually non-pirated (ripped a ton of my own/parents' CDs back when), but I use MusicBee on desktop and Blackplayer Ex on Android. Though syncing my libraries when I do make new acquisitions can be a bit of a hassle. I have a Plex media server on my desktop that has access to the files, so that may be a good solution?

deadbeef, foobar2000

I originally downloaded potplayer because my VLC had this weird issue where non of the UI would show, only the video stream and I couldn't fix it with reinstalls etc. etc.

I absolutely love it, and I recently been using it for listening to audio as well and it does a tidy job at that too. I use rekordbox for formating and organising my music, potplayer for listening to it now and poweramp on my phone.

Just a bonus - I use syncthing to automatically keep my phone music collection always updated with my latest tracks.

I stream it everywhere via Plex. Previously I used MusicBee on Windows, AIMP on Android, and Strawberry on Linux.

mpd and ncmpcpp cause i wanna feel cool lol

AIMP and Pot Player

Poweramp and WACUP

I use Winyl on PC and Aimp on android

BlackPlayer Ex on Android. Worth the price for no ads, but you can, of course, find a pirated APK somewhere.

On Linux, QMMP for casual listening because of its WinAmp skin support and Kodi for a more organized view of my collection.
