I'm using Aimp, because its fast to launch, it support FLAC and the interface is really cool, i'm not an audiophile so even if something such as Foobar is better than Aimp, it doesn't really make big differences.

And you, which audio player are you using ?

I've been using Foobar for over a year and it's awesome.

Itunes On The PC.
Black Player or PlayerPro On My Portables (Although I Am Thinking of Ditching BlackPlayer) Everytime The Screen Locks It Stops Playing

Itunes can't read FLAC files, no ?

Itunes can't read FLAC files, no ?

No, It Can't.

99.9999% of the time I'll be using the default app on my Sony phone.

VLC

use iTunes on OSX and Music on iPhone. Really, REAAAAALLY want to make the switch to Fiio, get decent headphones and perhaps a DAC on top.

Switched from Winamp to Foobar about 2 Years ago,
damn glad i did, best Music Application i've ever used...

BlackPlayer on my HTC One M9, best free Player on Android IMO....

Since I use a dac + amp + senn hd800 plugged on my pc, I have stopped to use my hi-end system (rotel flagship / b&w800 D2 serie), I use my system only for home theater.

My headphone is amazing and I can hear at the volume I want, the sound is so good and I feel the bass like a subwoofer because this headphone can really reproduce low frequency.

iTunes. Love the design, feel, and accessibility, (or interface) though performance on a Windows computer is not the best.

VLC



You actually use VLC as a music library?

No, It Can't.

But it can read ALAC, which is just as well.

VLC Media Player.

VLC Media Player.




Why? It doesn't seem convenient at all!

Because I simply like it. I use it for everything. I like having the cone as the icon for FLAC music. I like having it as a player because the cover of the album is displayed amazingly.

I don't listen to music like you would with iTunes; I have a HDD with folders, I store my music in folders, not in a music player, so it's convenient to me to use VLC.

FiiO X1. Absolutely love this thing.

For PC, VLC and Foobar are the picks.

VLC is the best way how I hear my music, all my albums are in separate folder and by label, I don't use music library anymore, only media player as library for movie, but not for music.

Btw I hate Itunes and Apple :-)

My HDD organization(all albums are tagged with the cover who is displayed permanently in VLC) :

I like iTunes' thingie of doing covers with colourful tracklist fitting them, but I hate how you have to convert to ALAC, lack cues, log, etc, scans, and most importantly, how you have to have everything double.

I like storing my music in folders, without having to add them again a second time (the same files) to have them on iTunes.

VLC does support Playlists, so it's not a huge Problem,
i use it to listen to Music when Foobar is busy converting Music...

For me a player who can't play FLAC is not possible, seriously, ALAC even it's the same quality , I will never convert all my FLAC to ALAC, I want to keep the control on my tracks (120'000 tracks actually) so Apple never!

Despite having become a bloated app, iTunes satisfies my aesthetic and organizational requirements. Besides, there are no viable alternatives as far as those I've downloaded and tried. Then there's Metadatics for speedier tagging, and for those times when I just want a quick drag and drop listen of FLAC files that I've either just downloaded or am in the midst of editing, I use Cog.

Despite having become a bloated app, iTunes satisfies my aesthetic and organizational requirements.

There's another, better way I could've put it.

Foobar2000.

It's like using Firefox.

I don't like IE or Chrome. I don't even like the new M$ Edge.

Windows media player.

WMP is very good for the streaming audio / video via DLNA but for hearing music locally VLC is more powerful.

There's another, better way I could've put it.

At least I don't have to suffer the further indignity of using Windows. :169:

Oh that is just morbidly obese! :p

hearing music locally VLC is more powerful.

Actually, they're really the same.

Only difference would be what programs support things like AISO drivers for further fidelity.
Most of these players do.

Some of these are very customizable, too.

But nothing is more "powerful" over another player when they're all the same.
Except if you use different drivers then that's neither here nor there and a completely different topic altogether.

More "magical" over WMP? Everything is better than WMP.

Like Dave, I'm everything Apple. iTunes on my MacBook Pro, iOS on my iPhone. I love the organization of iTunes and the album view (which has been taken away in iTunes 12.5 with the new MacOS, same as iOS 10, to which I will NOT be updating to), same with the iPhone. Gorgeous coloring. Can't say what I'd use if I didn't have an iOS device - but I've had one since 2005. My first, cute little silver 4GB iPod mini :)

2005: 4GB 1st gen silver iPod mini
2007: 30GB 1st gen black iPod video
2010: 32GB 2nd gen iPod touch

While they have improved speed issues considerably in the past couple years, iTunes Achilles heel from the beginning is its reliance on an XML file for data storage instead of a bona fide database such as MySQL. Of course, the reason for the XML file is to facilitate easy content exchange within its app ecosystem. But the BIG, BIG problem with using an XML file is the whole damn thing gets rewritten with each and every change made in iTunes, hence the resulting lag time with/without beachballs.

2014: 128GB iPhone 6

Must be delightful to utilize that amount of storage. That right there is a little more or less than half of my whole library.

It's a bit (okay, maybe very) difficult to make do with 16 GB of storage (might as fucking well be 12 GB), but it's what I got now, so be it. :p

Using here Jriver media center. Display library like itunes but supporting flac and not slow :)

I use Foobar 2000 on my PCs, USB Audio Player on my Android Tab, Daphile on my living room Thin Client and on my Windows Home Server 2011 is iTunes as a service installed via iHomeServer.

So you're not updating to iOS10 then? How do you deal with the iOS update prompt that'll pop up every two fucking days?


2014: 128GB iPhone 6

Daaamn... I'm stuck with 16. But I stream everything using iCloud Music Library and Google Play Music.

VLC Media Player.

foorbar2000 all the way.

VLC Media Player.

You've... already said that.

In the first page, and what do I lose saying it again?

I think you mean; what sense does it make saying it again. :laugh:

Or, perhaps even what do you gain.

No, I mean I don't lose anything saying it again. Literally as it sounds. Meaning what does it matter if I repeat it again? Is it a sin or something? :laugh:

Now, where has your master gone off to, hm?

Now, where has your master gone off to, hm?

I'm footloose and collar free!

On computer I just use VLC. Around the house I use a old Sansa MP3 player. I put on this Rockbox firmware which turns it into a very cool player.

I use iTunes 10 because of cover flow since later versions suck in my experience.

Old school.

I'm footloose and collar free!

But are you "fixed"?

good old friend WINAMP <3

Winamp because I am stubborn. Also all the old skins still work and one of them has a makeshift bass and treble knob for simplified equalizer tuning. I know, I'm horrible.

New Foobar Skin has been released : http://www.deviantart.com/art/DarkOne4Mod-v1-637189138

Foobar is the best,
Is use this skin : https://www.deviantart.com/anonymousgrafix/art/Zehn-v1-1-Discontinued-694247829
Very clean.

I'm using iTunes. It's a great music player for me.

VLC is best for audio and video both. It has a lot of features.

Mixture of Foobar & Mediamonkey on the PC, NPlayer on iOS and iTunes on Mac (for now, will ditch when Mediamonkey 5 is released with its Mac support)

XMplay all the way. Supports everything I need (including quality sound output) and has nice skins, also lightweight and fast.

The only drawback is the lack of midi output, for which I use tmidi.

Wonder if anyone heard about these :)

New Foobar Skin has been released : http://www.deviantart.com/art/DarkOne4Mod-v1-637189138

Been using this one for ages and very happy with it. Will have a look at Zehn v1.1, suggested by Latar, and see if it offers any extra desirable features.

foobar2000.

I just use VLC.

Quick question; I�ve been used to Vox Media Player as it had pitch/tone control, but nowadays the newer versions has a log-in feature that limits the use of equalizer, tone/pitch control is gone as far as I'm concerned. I�m just using this for offline use, so I see no point in logging in to use a program. Don�t know why they require log-in to begin with..
Also, I use VLC just for video.

Is there a media player out there that has the same interface with pitch/tone control that someone here can recommend?

Foobar2000. Hands down the best. I have iTunes installed to enhance the audio, and let me play M4A/ALAC content through it with an addon.

Winamp 5.7

I use Foobar on PC, and also on Android.

Most of my music is on my personal Subsonic server, so I listen to a lot of it via my web browser/phone app. For the songs I don't have on there, I typically use Foobar2000.

Sony zx300 alkman ZX Series
just for convenient

foobar on Windows, Clementine on Linux and VLC on Android.

I play FLAC files in VLC. WAV and MP3 files in Windows media player.

Windows media player.

This and iTunes (since you can play one song on repeat for the latter)[WMP you have to make a playlist with a single song on it to get the same effect.], for now.

mpd in linux as daemon with mpc for controlling through shell and make keyboard shortcuts and cantata for the graphic interface and notifications.
in Android I use Rocket Player.
I virtualize windows on linux so I don't use a windows music player.

im surprised so few people use winamp here, i didnt even knew there existed other players other than winamp.
i use winamp mainly and almost solely because of some bitchin anime skins ive had since... early 2000s

MediaMonkey has been my go-to organizer/player for years on my Windows desktop.

When out of the house I use Dsub for Android which links to my music collection on the Subsonic server I maintain at home.

I like JRiver Media Center with Foobar as a side kick.

Music Player

Seriously? That's what it's name is. On the cellphone.

Media on my android, Audacious on my pc, cmus on an old laptop.

Foobar2000. Can't live without it anymore

in early days of mp3 files, winamp was the king of players, right now, mpc or mpc-hc, in my opinion is one of the best around, just try it u guys.

Foobar2000. Can't live without it anymoreMy sentiments exactly.

I'm using iTunes. It's a great music player for me.

Me, too. But now with this announcement that they are axing iTunes i'm not sure what to do.

Currently Foobar 2000. Very handy for splitting .cue to individual tracks, with the plugins installed.

Before that, VLC.
And before that, Windows Media Player (gasp!)

Used to use MusicBee but I've since migrated my entire library to Plex and it's great. I don't rely on streaming services anymore and have my library accessible wherever whenever and it supports flac

Windows Media Player on PC. Amazon Music on phone, but I'm really thinking of switching to Winamp 6 when that's out, just to whip the llama's ass again.

BlackPlayer on the phone

doubleTwist seems to work wonders on Android. But if we're talking about Windows then MusicBee is my go-to, extremely efficient :)

For desktop, iTunes for casual/comfy listening and foobar2000 for FLAC or Hi-Res.
For the phone I use Play Music (default) or VLC if I have the ALAC files. But I try to use the built-in player to get the best of the DAC (or thats what I think)
