Mine is Strawberry since it has a ton of options and plays a ton of formats. It’s also (distant) fork of Amarok 1.4 and integrates well with KDE Plasma. I’m curious what other people are using these days. What’s your favorite player?
Quod Libet is my current favorite. It gives me a lot of the features and layout I used in Foobar2000 in Windows and isn’t gigantic.

So you like jazz?
Only free jazz
audacious, AFAIK it’s the only one to support vgmstream
First it was Amarok, then Clementine, and now it’s Strawberry.
I use Clementine because it lets me rate my songs. Does Strawberry do that? If it does I’ll give it a try.
Strawberry is basically a fork of Clementine from when it was abandoned.
I had no idea clementine I as abandoned! I wasn’t paying close attention. Time to jump to strawberry
Rhythmbox. Works too well. I grew out of the Winamp/Audacious thing.
Spotify 🫥
Spotify (adblock) from the AUR 😈
No ads & you can still login to your account
It’s the one I use most, even though it sucks. I like that I can control it with my phone

Rhythmbox and Strawberry are the best, IMO. Rhythmbox has a lower impact on system resources but Strawberry is ideal for people with extensive music collections that you store offline like I do.
DeaDBeeF Player, I like lightweight and simple music players.

Mom: switch that off!
Kid: I can’t!
MPD + ncmpcpp, I hate both and I’m yet to find anything better.
I tried several and I very much appreciate Quod Libet
That said I’m interested in trying others’ suggestions 👌
Clementine. Strawberry is getting there but still doesn’t have as many features.
Edit: huh, I didn’t expect a downvote on Lemmy for my opinion. Is reddit leaking through? Weird.
Dolphin + mpv for me so I can see the album covers and metadata and see whats available, if I have a specific song in mind, then ill just use the terminal and mpv.
Clementine
