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.

mpd + ncmpc
I am but a simple man. All my music is FLAC. It is arranged neatly in folders. I just want to select an album to play. I do not need album covers, playlists, search, streaming, tags, lyrics, analyzers, or scrobbling.
Agreed, with the exception of album covers. I like it all to look nice on my Hidizs when I'm on the go.
How do you discover new music? I'm the type that listen to the same thing over and over again but I realized even I rely entirely on autogenerated playlists of Spotify.
Sometimes I poke around Wikipedia and see what other artists collaborated with, influenced, or were influenced by artists I like, and buy their albums.
Sometimes I download highly-rated shows from random artists on Internet Archive's Live Music Archive
Sometimes friends recommend stuff.
How do you download your music?
My client doesn't have to answer that.
Almost got him
If the artist has a way to buy and download from their website, I do that. Otherwise I buy CDs or vinyl and rip them.
This is a great idea.
More of a gmpc kinda person. Unless there's a better GUI for mpd out there?
There's always mpdas for scrobbling
