I can't be the only person in the world who finds this frustrating though.

It looks like mpd is the only one that can play gaplessly and supports browsing a large library by tags.
#Quod libet vs foobar portable
On Windows, it will be in your user’s AppData folder under Quod Libet (except portable builds) On OS X, it will be in /.quodlibet/. Don't really like the way you interact with it either. The short answer was originally: in /.quodlibet/ For newer versions of QL it’s more complex: On all platforms, if the QUODLIBETUSERDIR environment variable is set, this will be used. Mpd+ncmpcpp: plays gaplessly but I'm not keen on the lack of album art and as far as I can tell you can only browse by artist rather than album artist. In the questionWhat are the best audio players for. Guayadeque: quite nice but doesn't split tags with multiple values and as far as I remember cannot manage gapless playback properly, despite there being an option for it in the preferences. When comparing foobar2000 vs Quod Libet, the Slant community recommends foobar2000 for most people. Doesn't play gaplessly though.ĭeadbeef: so simple, plays gaplessly but doesn't have anywhere near enough features for browsing or organising a big library.Īudacious: Plays gapless but so incredibly simple that it's pretty much useless for me unless I just have one file I want to play quickly. Quod Libet: good library support, really nice customizable tags, generally quite powerful. Doesn't split multiple genres and artists when tagged with a separator though. Doesn't play gaplessly though despite this apparently being fixed with the latest update. The general workflow isn't ideal but it's ok. It seems that gstreamer is the main cause of this, even though the issue is supposed to have been fixed.Ĭlementine: I really like this one, it has some nice features for me. It seems that almost all of them have one serious problem or another.The main thing frustrating me at the moment is gapless playback for mp3 files. Now I am using gnu/linux it seems almost impossible to find a good music player with decent library support.
#Quod libet vs foobar software
The main design philosophy is that the user knows how they want to organize their music best the software is therefore built to be fully customizable and extensible using regular expressions and boolean logic. I came from Windows using MusicBee which is an incredibly powerful music player. Quod Libet is a cross-platform free and open-source audio player, tag editor and library organizer. This is the one thing that has been a constant source of frustration for me since moving exclusively to xubuntu a few months ago.
