Re: Top 5 Linux music players

@Durhammer, given your needs Audacious still looks to be a better choice.

On Q4OS and other distros, I totally agree, but I'm trying another distro where audacious can't process and post/notify the artist and song title from one particular stream source, so might look to see if DeaDBeeF works better there. OTOH, there is no problem listening to any stations on the other distro, just showing the stream's song metadata. But if DDBF can't even handle my music files, I'm outta there....

Clementine/Strawberry were my favorites for quite some time.
