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.

The lack of a really good, customizable player on Linux has been probably my least favorite part of the whole experience. Deadbeef is close, but it seriously needs a good media library plugin.

For that reason, I’m still using foobar2000, which is Windows-only but available as a Snap using wine (and yes, I hate Snap). I check regularly to see if there are better native options, but even with the clunk from Snap and the relatively ugly UI due to wine, foobar remains superior IMHO. I think it checks all your boxes, except it’s a Snap.
