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 don't have any suggestions for you, sorry. Now-a-days I just use Spotify or YouTube and stream stuff, then download the songs I really like, for offline play on my phone. I just wanted to comment on how much I miss the late 90's early 2000's era of WinAmp and having a real music collection. Sharing music with friends on CD's, then eventually USB hard drives. Sadly way more fun than limitless access to anything you could want, on the internet.
Also shout out to GRiZ in your music list. That dude is absolutely fantastic, I love all of his stuff.
Hehe thanks. I download huge playlists and then listen to them offline because hate to wait for music to play, specially on Holidays. I recommend SimpMusic for you, lets you use Youtube Music privately with no ads and download music with no restrictions. As for how I download my music.... my lawyer told me no to answer that.
I was born in 1996 but I feel you man, we used to share music with Infrared on those SonyEricssons and Nokias and then bluetooth.
JFC, how to make me feel old AF, 1966 here .
I don't stream anything.
You are younger than you think, my parents were born 63'/64' and would never be on a forum talking about music players. :) On a Linux forum at that.
Same, I just use Spotify, or Plexamp for anything on my own server.
