Which music player would you like to see in MX KDE?

[CharlesV]

There are a few great music players for KDE... which music player do you prefer to use and would like to see in MX KDE?

[gimcrack]

Music Player for my terminal. Been using moc forever

GUI Music Player been using Clementine forever

[thomasl]

A heavily modified cmus for me. Other users of the same install (coming from FB2K) prefer DeaDBeeF.

+1 Clementine

I prefer it over Strawberry for the Internet Podcast stuff.

[Dearth]

Clementine has not been updated for ages. Strawberry is a fork that is maintained.

Even then, Sayonara is a better choice for an average user:

Any help on how to get internet radio stations, and podcasts on Strawberry?

I am totally for an updated and maintained app/fork, but I just don't see options in Strawberry for finding internet radio stations, nor for downloading podcasts; in Clementine, on the left-hand sidebar, the "Internet" tab has a button for "Icecast", which has a plethora of radio stations, which can be searched by genre. It also has a button for"Podcasts", which provides a number of ways to search for a particular podcast.

I have not been successful on Strawberry in finding neither internet radio stations, nor podcasts.

I see that Strawberry has a "Radios" button, but it's nothing like "Icecast", which has thousands of internet radio stations.

Again, I'm not arguing for one platform or another; if there is a way to configure Strawberry for internet radio and podcast searches, please let me know!!!

BTW: I also use Strawberry, but just for playing a little music, and some of the provided radio channels.

I have added radio stations using the Playlist | Add Stream, then save that to your playlists.

@CharlesV Thanks, for that! I now see how I can add them, once I have the URLs.

Am I correct in saying that there is no "search" in Strawberry for internet radio stations or podcasts?

I frequently like to search for internet radio stations, like, "70s", or, you guessed it, "opera"; I also like to search for podcasts, e.g. "Sean Carroll".

Is there any way to do that in Strawberry?

I do not believe there is a search for stations. If I attempt to search it only searches my library.

That's what I feared.

This is why my vote is for Clementine, even though it's not updated/maintained.

Still works like a charm, though!
