Feishin, SuperSonic, cmus, and kew are the only ones I really like with kew being my personal favourite.

I don't need much from my music player as I just like to hit shuffle on all my songs (6000+) and kew just does that.

I've also started thinking about doing streaming music again as I currently have a month trial with Qobuz and I really like it. Thankfully lastnight I was FINALLY able to find a linux Qobuz player, QBZ, that works very well as I'm not a fan of the Qobuz webplayer.

I love cmus, I occasionally try other stuff for fun but always come back to it. Simple and low resource usage
