deadbeef VS TauonMusicBox

this was my personal 'want' from deadbeef that felt a little awkward https://github.com/DeaDBeeF-Player/deadbeef/issues/2365 (recently added and recently played playlists). it may be doable with plugins or some shell scripting perhaps

I know not everyone is into this hobby. However, if you want to play dsf files, this article covers lots of Linux Players (and devices that use Linux). MPD (Media Player Daemon) seems to be a popular option for most of the devices and distributions mentioned in the article. However, if you want to try a player that does not require you to install various packages with root access, Deadbeef seems to work properly.

Deadbeef, maybe? This one is the most similar to foobar2k from what I tried (yeah I miss it too).

Deadbeef is the most feature rich player on Linux that doesn't look like an eyesore, imo.

DeaDBeeF is the closest.

Nah. They were removed and are no longer found in the repository's locale directory.

DeadBeef - Only possible with a plugin that is not obvious to a new user and easily misable

Whatever you name it, try to make the UI look like Tauon Music Box. I love that application but its built on GTK3 I believe.

Finding music players that support any kind of rating is already difficult, since many devs ignore or straight up hate this feature entirely, and the most commonly used Popularimeter (POPM) standard in ID3 tags is apparently not always consistent.

This isn't a major release, but its been a year since I posted this here on r/linux and there's been many releases in that time. You can check version release notes here: https://github.com/Taiko2k/TauonMusicBox/releases.

TauonMusicBox

TauonMusicBox supports Jellyfin and Spotify if I recall correctly.

The only documentation on connecting to Jellyfin I have is this page. Its a little vague but if you have setup a Jellyfin server it should be obvious what information needs to be entered.
