More than just ‘what app are you using’, but I do want that as well.
I want a good mindset for downloading music that has what I want and at least some of what I’ll probably like.
Currently, partially as a limitation of the app, I have every song in every album that contains something I like. This works well ish for discovery, but I know less than a quarter of my library, no matter how much time I spend listening to new music. This was with Lidar + tubifary (Tidal and Slskd only).
Currently I’m trying Downtify configured with slskd and yt as a backup, but it seems very slow to download and the app itself is very laggy.
I get my music from discord servers and sometimes soulseek if I can’t find a song or album, and then play it using USB Audio Player Pro since I use an external dac. Symfonium is also another great player with a highly customisable interface that I sometimes use
Symfonium is a paid app. I use Tempus (which is free) and while it has fewer features, it’s more than enough for me.
It’s so worth it for the price (it was like $1.50 in my region) Tempus looks great, it Reminds me of Oto Music which is also another great free player that has the fastest library scanner I’ve found in any player I’ve tried which is very useful if you have a large music library like I do
It’s a lot more expensive in Europe, 9EUR. Not saying it’s not worth it, just that I don’t really feel like I need it.
Oto music also has a really good music tagger that also lets you edit metadata for entire albums in bulk, which is the only reason I use it for lol
I second the Symfonium recommendation - Feishin is a great desktop player as well. Click the now playing album on the bottom left for a full screen mode with visualiser/lyrics/up next screen present alongside the now playing info 👍🏼
