Searching for the best Music Player - SLRPNK

WAIT! before you start commenting that TUI musicplayer xy is the best, my priorities: must have: - support for m3u playlists (synced to Android with Syncthingy) - support for viewing all files - support for custom music directories - support for deleting music files - Flatpak OR clutterfree on KDE would like: - Pipewire output - nice simple GUI - modern, clutterfree design OR customizability - subtitles, cover images, etc. I used G4Music but it has literally no features. I cant even delete files. I am now trying Strawberry, a fork of Clementine which roughly comes from the old Amarok music player. It looks really dated and seems overcomplex for me, also I dont think it has Pipewire support.

Maybe JuK: juk.kde.org

It is for the most part as minimal as it looks, except that it’s actually quite good for playlists and managing one’s music collection.

It doesn’t have a ton of devs behind it, so I would be surprised, if they had native Pipewire support already. Otherwise, I think, it covers what you’ve listed.

KDE JuK

Juk was the main music player in LXQt and I cant find it anywhere.

It will likely be on Qt5 or even older, and not get updates any time soon.

Dunno what you mean. JuK was ported to Qt6 last February alongside the rest of KDE. It’s on Flathub and most distro repositories.

Interesting maybe that was a bit later, when I looked I could not find it.

Thanks for pointing that out!
