Mine is Strawberry since it has a ton of options and plays a ton of formats. It's also (distant) fork of Amarok 1.4 and integrates well with KDE Plasma. I'm curious what other people are using these days. What's your favorite player?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm still using foobar under wine in Linux for the discogs tagger alone.
Might want to check out MusicBrainz Picard for this purpose
Let's just hope it's better than the music brains tagger itself. It's been some years since I've tried it. I'll admit. The mess it made the last time that has made me reluctance to give it another chance despite generally supporting what they do. I may just be a little OCD about my collection sometimes lol. But if it can actually get the right artist information, etc. Allow me to store stuff in a particular directory structure relatively easily and get cover art. It might stand a chance. I will give the AUR a check here in a bit to see if it has it.
For what it’s worth, I have this problem sometimes when an album has multiple releases and you can choose which release to pull tags from via the context menu in Picard. There’s also a pretty powerful scripting language that you can use to specify the directory and file re-naming structure as well. It took me a while to get my structure set up properly but once I did it’s been a life saver in keeping my files organized.
If there’s something in particular you’re trying to achieve that’s not working I’d be happy to try and help!
I hadn't seen that yet. Although unfortunately, my experimenting with the tool ended abruptly last night when the LCD panel on the system went out. I may install it on a different system and see if I can figure out how to select releases that should solve the issue.
