I’ve been on the hunt for a Linux music player that gives me a similar feel to Spotify, but for my own local music collection. I already have my songs locally, I’m not looking for streaming but something that's more feature-rich.
I have been using Quod Libet which is actually great but it lacks the polished UI and “modern-app” features like an album-cover view, shuffle with ease, built-in lyrics display, etc etc
I found Wora which had what I wanted, but it seems not actively maintained and has a few bugs that make it less stable.
What local-music players on Linux do you use or recommend?
