I can't believe we're only 4 days away from Software Freedom Day 2025. FLOSS question for today, what's your favorite Free, Libre, Open Source music player? I like the lightweight combo of FLTK based flrec that works with sox. Sox, the swiss army knife of sound processing utilities is a very useful program. I'm also a fan of qmmp.
Thank you for these e-mails, they're fun! In the past few years I've been using rhythmbox, not because I like it but because it is what I found that "gets the work done". I was a fan and user of Amarok for many years, until its development stalled, and forks and alternatives like clementine showed up but never quite managed to take over - and I haven't been satisfied with a music player ever since. I know that "Amarok is back" since last year, and I'm looking forward to try out the new/modern versions, but it is not available for the current version of Ubuntu LTS which is what I am using in the machine I'd use it on, so I might just wait for Ubuntu 26.04 before trying it... -- ~marado
