Looking for local music player

2026-07-06 21:55 UTC

Looking for something similar to Fooyin. I’ve been having issues with songs starting, then 4 seconds in restarting before playing all the way through. Don’t seem to have this issue with anything else but I can’t figure out how to fix it and I’m not particularly attached to Fooyin anyway. Have used deadbeef in the past and might switch back to it but wanted to reach out to see if anyone has other suggestions. Ideally there would be basic tagging features and the ability to search for lyrics.

Vinyl works good for me but hasn’t been updated in a while. f-droid.org/packages/com.poupa.vinylmusicplayer/

MPV, VLC, AIMP kid3, MiXplorer for tagging haven’t played around with lyrics that much

Not sure how well it fits, but I tried astra based on a lemmy thread, and it’s pretty good so far github.com/Boof2015/astra

Audacious is my favorite music player and it still supports the old winamp skins for those feeling nostalgic. It does tagging fine, not sure if there is a lyrics plugin but it does support tons of codecs and net radio streaming.

Quick question, does Fooyin export id3 tags? I've been looking for a player or tool that exports tags in batches.

I think i like strawberry the best out of the ones i’ve tried (i also tried deadbeef and audacious). Maybe it’s an issue with my distro’s package, but strawberry didn’t want to play CDs anymore, which is pretty much the only thing i use these players for now, cause i have my music collection hosted with navidrome and then stream it with supersonic. So now i use audacious instead. I usually like to play a CD directly and listen to it before i rip it, so that’s why i still want that functionality occasionally.

You mean, you can’t decide between the 100s of players available?

I like Aqualung. Works well enough for what I do. Has the slightly unusual feature of accepting LADSPA plugins. I don’t do much tag editing, but the basic functions are there.

If you are not afraid of terminal, mpd + ncmpcpp :)
