Hello everyone
hope you have a nice day,
Just sharing my favorite music player under my linux environment
A preview :
I like this. 
Music is an important part of my workflow. For me, I’m just using spotify-player. It helps keep memory usage down and CPU idle. Good idea with Btop, I did the same:
Awwwww your workflow looks so beautiful 
does spotify-player only works with spotify online (services) or cmus like ?
Yes, I think that one requirement. About 4 of us share 1 family plan.
I’ve been playing around with fooyin for a while now. Fooyin is extremely customizable. I don’t like everything but for now I’m satisfied.
I have never used the CLI music player…
Never heard about fooyin before
But it make sense , you’re using kde plasma it integrate well into your environment
noticed it’s built on QT 6 , it should start fast because QT already cached,
nice rizz @toadie 
As a non-English speaker, I had to google rizz first 
Fooyin is like foobar2000 for Windows
As I said in a previous post:
Trying to find a music player similar to Windows, does one exist? - #9 by ricky89
I also listen alot of music during my day infront of PC, and for now the best media player for Linux I found is all about Strawberry.
On Windows side nowdays Strawberry is payment software, so on my Windows machine I’m using Clementine for common audio files and the software MPV for play radio playlists such as PLS files since Clementine seems it does not support PLS.

Lately I return using Strawberry, definitevely my favorite music player.
I was trying to achieve some Discord rich presence while listening music, I ended up the latest integration they did Strawberry C++ side is horrible and not usable after all.
On Linux there’sa thing called dbus and Strawberry, which is a software written mostly for Linux, you can easily achieve Discord rich presence thank dbus and a random Python script fetching metadata directly from the running software.
But in Windows?
In Windows you can download pretty updated version of this software with Chocolatey, the fact is hard achieve that rich presence also in Windows bc lack of support and no dbus running over Windows.
So last day I was scripting in Python for achieve this goal on Windows as well.. I ended up with reading user AppData/Local/Strawberry cache folder; is seem it’s content is updated each time you play a song in the player.
So my script is doing:
I don’t think there’s better way in Windows without putting hands on the C++ Strawberry source code.
Pretty artisan script, nothing professional, but my goal is achieved.
