The state of Linux music players in 2026 (crescentro.se)

If you haven’t heard yet, in big 2026 we’re all ditching Microslop for systems that actually respect you, and we’re also breaking up with our ever-pricier Spotify subscriptions in exchange for actual ownership of the media we consume. So, for Fun February, I thought I’d take a look at some of the apps we can use to fill the Spotify-shaped void.

Quodlibet is pretty nice and has been my default for a good decade now. However, it still being on github makes it difficult to contribute to since I left Microslop's ecosystem.

I wish there were something out there in Rust that were extensible, but plugins seem to be difficult in rust.

I'm happy with Quod Libet as well. There are a few quirks that annoy me but, yeah, overall 👍

One more here. I use it, because it has a builtin pitch shifter, which I need for playing guitar to.

What are the quirks btw.?
