How do you "find" software on flatpack? Browse around and install stuff? Also is this some kind of advertisement? Is this going to mine bitcoin or use my internet connection to mask some botnet traffic?

    You usually find software on https://flathub.org/ The flatpak command line tools also gets it by default from there.

    Generally it's best to use the software provided already by your distros because it's more vetted than flathub. Use flatpak for stuff it's not provided by your distro.

    Flatpak apps are usually sandboxed so they won't be able to fully take over your pc if you read the permissions they ask. You have to triple-check the permissions they require during installation, because they will be shown only at that point.

    If you want to restrict or widen the sandbox I reccommend flatseal https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal

    Also, like any 3rd party software on any operating system, you can't know for sure if they are mining bitcoin or abuse your internet. Even websites can make your pc or phone mine crypto or try to launch DoS attacks. Be careful, look at reviews and check the permissions tgey ask for, like you would do with mac os/windows software.

    Also, btw, this is an advertisement. There are plenty of media players in any distro, I love my old school strawberry/clementine plager and I'm not sure I would trust this software since I never heard of it.

    I recently found cmus and have really taken a liking to it - mostly because it's really lightweight, and I love the novelty of my music player running in the terminal.

    Oh and I get to do really cute, useless things nextt it

    But I'll have to give Aqloss a try :)

    With a webpage like that, I'm not surprised that no one takes it serious. Looks like it fell straight out of a startup. 😵‍💫

    I've been using mpd with ncmpcpp for a long time. Recently found out about rmpc, which in really pretty

    I've been using rmpc for a couple years now and I like it overall except that it can be a bit simple. Just a queue and monolithic library, can't create playlists or play random files, etc.

    Its my first mpd client, but I know mpd is meant to be fairly narrow. Being clean and simple is mostly a benefit at least.

    Because it looks nice (prettier than most player on Linux IMO) also visualizer and lyrics fetching is pretty cool too, not that other player can't do it but Aqloss is the best all around

    This website is aggressively bad. Why does my cursor have to disappear completely when I stop moving and become a gray circle when I do move it? Way over-designed.

    I like the fact that I can edit track info or automatically edit tracks in an album and add album covers in Clementine. Any music player alternatives that can do the same?

    Check out Gapless, it's minimal and has a beautiful UI.

    It does look nice. Layout is the hardest part to get right, there's no one size fits all, so opinionated players like that can run into a lot of empty space like shown in the screenshot.

    My boring arse theming might give the wrong idea of Fooyin, but you can really make anything you want out of it, and layouts for every occasion.

    Think music players are the software I'm most picky about and have switched multiple times. I'm kinda stuck between using Audacious and DeaDBeeF at the moment.

    Either something has all the features I want but looks bland or outright ugly, Or it looks really nice but is lacking in playlist management or some other weirdness.

    I don't think I'll ever find "the one".

    Oh this is great, I've been using Elisa for a while, but this is so pretty & customisable, definitely gonna keep using this.

    I'm fond of qmmp because it ticks the boxes: it fits sanely into my desktop aesthetic since you can use normal Qt theming, it supports MPRIS for integration into status boxes, and the download-lyrics plugin works (surprisingly rare, many onky surface embedded lyrics)

    I recently discovered Rufin and I'm so happy with it.

    It meets most of my needs such as ListenBrainz scrobbling, Linux & Windows versions (and even a future Android one according to the latest release), Discord Rich Presence, and basically every other feature I would expect a local music player to have.

    Bonus it is written in Rust 🦀
