> I remember there was a Gnome option, wonder if it is alive. Can't remember the name though. Are you talking about Rhythmbox? If so, yes it is still alive! And pretty good. Not as great as things used to be back in the glory days of Amarok, but still pretty good. The important thing is that it hasn't regressed. It is mostly bug free, and still has that really badass power-user shell/scripting API that you can use. It has a lot of features now that cater to self-hosters but still enable social (such as Scrobbling). I use it quite a bit to play FLACs I bought/buy on Bandcamp. Strawberry is another one that some people really love, but felt a little heavy to me. I think Navidrome is my future honestly. I have it set up but most of my music collection is disorganized so I usually return to youtube music. If more bands would sell their stuff on Bandcamp or anywhere DRM-free (besides Amazon, who I used to buy music from until one day they decided to make it really difficult to download. Now I don't trust them), I suspect I'd be all self-hosted before long.
