 Hey everybody welcome back to the channel. Today I'm going to be discussing the top five music players for Linux. Now these are completely of my own opinion. There are tons and tons of music player apps out there for Linux. These are just the ones that I find the best. So it's my opinion. I've left links to everything that I talked about today down in the description below. And let's just go ahead and jump right in. This should be a fairly short video. So let's jump in. The first one is going to be VLC. Now it does mostly video, but VLC is actually will actually play music as well. Now it doesn't do like my library management or anything. But if you're the minimalist sort, the minimalist sort, you might just want one app that does everything and literally does VLC. Now VLC, I can't show you on this because it's going to show up on a different monitor. I might be able to transfer it over to. Yeah, this is what VLC looks like. It's just a blank thing. And if you play music in it, it will still be blank and it'll just show the MIDI controls down here. Like I said, it's mostly for video, but it will, if all you want is one app that will do everything in terms of playing stuff, VLC is your best bet. So the next one I want to talk about is Rhythmbox. And Rhythmbox comes preinstalled on Ubuntu, I believe. At least it used to. I think it still does. It's been around for a long time. Let's see if I can find a picture. I don't have it installed. Alright, I got to always just spell it right. This is what Rhythmbox looks like. And because it will manage your libraries, it has a tag editor. It will allow you to scrabble last FM and play from various audio stations, it's very full featured. And it's very, very appropriate for anyone who's running in the GTK, like a GNOME or Mate or whatever, it will fit right in and will follow your themes and everything. It's great. It's not for me because I don't use GTK stuff. But it is very good and obviously free and open source is all these are. The next one I'm going to talk about is Clementine. This is what Clementine looks like. And yes, this is a looks like this is Clementine on Windows, but Clementine is available for Linux. It's a lot like Rhythmbox only has a huge plug in library so you can get it to work with Spotify. I think it will work with Pandora and other music radio services like that. It will also scrabble the last FM and all those things. Also has a tag editor. One of the great things is it has tabs so you can have different playlists open at the same time and be playing from different ones, you know, whatever. It's not as well designed. I don't think it's Rhythmbox. I've never really cared for it, but it has different views. I'm not not sure if it will show these again. I don't have this install. I should have should install some of these. But anyways, it has different views. So the looks of the default view never really appealed to me, but you can change that so it looks a little bit different. The next one I want to talk about is Lollipop. And I do have this one installed. If I can get it to open. Apparently I can't get it to open. Why would anything work when this is like my fourth attempt at a video today? Okay, well, I can't get Lollipop to open either. That's really weird. Not sure why. Oh, there we go. That's Lollipop. I don't. Why do you need my password? Really weird. Anyways, you can see this is Lollipop. Now this is a GTK theme. I think this is better than Rhythmbox if only because it's updated more often. And it's prettier. It doesn't have as many features as Rhythmbox does. But I just like the design of it better. Again, it will do pretty much all the normal stuff. If you do the preferences here, you can add several things from the web, including Spotify and things. So I guess it has more features than I actually thought it did. I never use any of these things because I stopped using Lollipop quite a while ago. But it is available and it's I like I said, I think it looks better than Rhythmbox. Functionality wise, they're fairly similar. All right. The next one, or the last one I want to talk about is one that I can't pronounce the name of. It's NCMPCPP. I'll have the actual name down the thing, but this is a terminal based one. And it requires MPD to set up. Now it is a pain in the ass to get MPD set up and the NCMPCPP. But it's a horrible name for a really good friend. This is the one I use. Basically, I'm trying to go to all terminal based or all console based applications other than you know, like web browsers. I'm just because I'm an Erd and I want to. But I like this one because it just allows you to use the terminal is very, very lightweight. Like I said, it's a pain in the ass to set up. So if you're not interested in trying to figure it out, I would avoid this one and just use one of the graphical user interface ones. Those are all very easy to set up and we'll work with external hard drives and stuff. This one here will work with external hard drives, but you got to set it up in config files. And if you want to theme it, you have to deal with config files. So it's not as is not user intuitive at all, like 0% negative percent. But if you're a control addict and like to literally dive into config files, this is the one that you should choose. Anyways, like I said, very quick video. Like I said, there's are tons and tons of music app music players out there. These are just the five that I particularly like the most. And they're older ones like Amorak. I think Amorak is the name. That's a KD one. Why don't why doesn't have a K at the beginning of it? I don't know. There's I mean, there's several other ones that are really good. I think there's one that Katie is actually working on to replace Amorak right now. But I'm not sure what that's called. But anyways, these are the five that I've chosen. I will put links to all their pages in the description below. If you like this crap, if you like this video, give it a like. If you didn't like it, give it a thumbs down.
