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.

MPD + some GUI client. Plattenalbum is one such client but it’s an outlier because its album based when MPD is playlist based.

  • directories for music or playlists are configurable
  • supports alsa, jack, pulseaudio, and pipewire
  • album art is up to the client
  • deleting music is up to the client.

I also recommend installing mpDris for mpris support.
