i like rhythmbox a lot and it’s so great to use it as a music player but most of my music files don’t even have any metadata it’s just “song-name-author.opus” so it’s a lot for me which is why i would use vlc instead yea!!! but anyway ummm why does xfce or gnome use rhythmbox??

    How can you live that way?

        That’s fair. Though “simple” for me is actually having meticulously sorted and tagged media. That way it displays reliably and beautifully in most any player.

          Nothing beats playing just what you want, when you want, whether or not there’s internet available and at the highest quality you can afford. Quodlibet/Rythmbox, ID3 and puddletag FTW !!.

            Nice.

            I like a combo of FLAC + mpd/ncmpcpp, and running everything through Picard for tagging.

            When I’m on the go (car or foot) I use a Hiby R4 DAP with VLC, and the collection translates flawlessly.

            Also, scrobble all the things to libre.fm

        Hijack, but clementine used to have a “remote” available on fdroid where I could manage clementine on my pc from an android phone connected to the same local wifi. Is there anything analogous for strawberry?

      Fedora changed it to the one I’ll never remember the name of;)

        Nothing wrong with it. I use kitty these days but when I used gnome I had no problem with gnome terminal for one off jobs and some variation of the quake terminal type apps for things I wanted to be ongoing in the background. My usage style has changed a lot since then but I’d happily use it again if I went back.

    Uh, what was it in Artix again? One of the tools i usually uninstall on initial setup since i use mpv for music.

    Btw, could you guys please stop shipping xfburn with the distro? Optical media gets rare nowadays.
