What ncmpcpp visualizer is that?

quodlibet, it is highly configurable so you can display and sort by any tag you like.

Foobar is cool but I've never even attempted to install it on linux. How hard is it? Are there any good alternatives?

Anything Free as in Freedom, that lets you play random ass music collections cobbled together from a panoply of formats and bitrates. Basically anything on Linux will fit those criteria, even if the same software on another system (particularly OS X for some odd reason) will suck.

Obsessing over the aesthetics is gay. Use whatever works, you shazbots.

I love WinAmp, with it's skins (can be as cyberpunk as you want it to be, visusally), add-ons and the ease of building your own plugins.

Currently the newest version is form 2014 but still good…

Minus point, no client for Linux all these years… :-/

I didn't know, I just ripped it off the main website, after a bit of research, it look slike "ellipse" you need ncmpcpp-git from the AUR though, regular one doesn't have the extrea visualisers.

It's mpv, and you're a dirty subhuman winfag. Stop making retarded off-topic threads.

If you just use whatever works, why does it have to be free as in ganoo/loonix + Stallman's Official Seal of Autistic Freedom?

QuadraSID or GO HOME.

Try audacious.

Standalone/hardware music player.

Big and clunky, not the type you can put in your pocket.

No lamps, only cold soulless transistors.

CDs and casettes, not hdds or sd-cards.

Download tunes from the net and burn them on a CD or record them on a cassette to listen to them.

Seriously though, here is main difference between oldschool cyberpunk and reality:

Back in the day, when cyberpunk was establishing like a genre, processors were weak and special purpose hardware dominated the industry. Everything had to be it's own device.

But we now live in the world of general-purpose reprogrammable computers that can do anything. Music, pictures, vides, distant calls, games, neural networks, everything is done on same machine.

I don't want to sound like a luddite, but I'm not sure I like this change. Modern way of doing things might be more efficient, but tinkering with bare metal is more fun than swimming in layers of abstractions on top of abstractions.

And we might go full circle and get back to special purpose devices with the Internet of Things, who knows. If only IoT wasn't a clusterfuck of DRM/vendor lock-ins, bad protocols and shitty security

I consider myself pretty schway, but I can't get away from the iTunes/Spotify combo. I have yet to find something as good as the iTunes album layout, which is admittedly the only reason I haven't switched to foobar2k.

I do use Soulseek and have a dedicated 1TB hard drive for downloading albums and sharing my music library though, so I guess that's pretty cyber.

Techno-hipster, indeed.

Flash based PMP that can decode FLAC is all you need. Maybe AAC.

Okay, I can see it.

It works fine on Linux with Wine. There are a couple of fb2k clones but none that come close to the real thing in terms of customizability and number of plug-ins.

Personally I use mpd+ncmpcpp.

>forcing yourself to write one everyday even tho you know alsa and pulseaudio are both a fucking pain in the ass to work with

>not using QuadraSID

I use mplayer.

I made a shell script so it starts in slave mode, reading commands from a fifo, and by default plays all media in the folder I call it from. All that was left to do was to configure some shortcuts on dwm to send commands for next song, pause, volume using ALSA, etc.

I also added some other features along the years I've been using it, such as playing a random song from within that folder or finding a song given a (Perl) regex pattern. It's much easier to go through artists via ls/cd or using ranger and all the shell's/ranger's features instead of a pointless ncurses player. It also has the advantage of completely ignoring mp3 tags. Of course you need some kind of organization. My music folder is:

Artist/

– Year - Album/

—- Track - Title

Replace mplayer with some plumber of your choice (iirc ranger comes with one) and ogg123 mpg123 etc.
