Well, I have to say that Harmonoid is the best one I’ve found, it has a ton of cool features, it works and it allows you to be able to see your collection by album and it doesn’t use Electron. Right now its development has stalled a bit but it’s still pretty much in good shape, though.

Thanks OP, this type of posts is honestly the only thing I can say that I miss from Reddit, I hope people keep making posts like this here.

Have you tried Strawberry? It’s the best one out there, imo.

I want to like Strawberry as a way to connect to Subsonic server on Linux, but it’s just so clunky. I hate list view, as well as the theme…

Which theme? If you configure it right it should match the system theme. Here’s what mine looks like on Plasma 5, Breeze Dark.

Have you tried Sublime Music (GTK)? I used other (Electron) alternatives but Electron sucks, Sublime Music feels pretty fast.

I have and it’s great but I use KDE so I prefer a QT-based player

Need to make the switch, still using clementine, I like the Visualizations Clementine has that are missing in Strawberry.

For Viz I like projectM (clone of the old MilkDrop), available through Steam.

Audacious has a winamp mode and supports winamp skins.

QMMP supports Winamp skins, that’s what I’m using, it’s fantastic.

I tried qmmp a while ago and it is unusable for me because it doesn’t have the library view that winamp had (at least that I could find).

Unfortunately, this is not actually free software, it is distributed under an EULA: https://github.com/harmonoid/harmonoid/blob/master/EULA.txt

Is Amarok still a thing? I stopped using players a few years back in favour of Spotify, but I’m considering self hosting a collection again, and I remember Amarok being the best player by far.

TDE still supports it, but I’m pretty sure KDE no longer does. So you can still get it, but it will require a little extra work.

I’ll probably end up using a streaming server or something. I use too many disparate devices these days where I want things to work more like Spotify instead of your traditional Winamp style player.
