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.

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?

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.

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.
