• Cmus vs. Musikcube

  VLC can be used to play a file from the command line, but there is no user interface. Players like cmus and musikcube have a text based interface and library management. Source: over 1 year ago

• Whipper: Accurate Audio CD Ripping

  Cmus [1] is the closest I found to foobar2000. It is my main music player now, after years of disappointment. It supports FLAC and they claim they support CUE sheets, although I haven't tested your particular scenario. The way I use it is I have all my library in it at once, iTunes style. It has good search & playlists, but no drag&drop, since it's just command line... [1] https://cmus.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Musikcube, a cross-platform, terminal-based library, player and server

  I use Musikcube a lot, it works great on macOS and Linux, and is snappy even on very cheap or old systems. It has very good mouse support (if your terminal emulator supports it), it's the first time I saw a TUI app with a right click menu, or that you can scroll through. My one major complaint is that there is no way I know of to import/export playlists: https://github.com/clangen/musikcube/issues/141 Another... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• What are some of your favorite CLI/TUI apps?

  Cmus as music player. More straight-forward than mpd clients, single app. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Different Music Player

  Just works (plays almost all formats) - FooBar2000 Minimal as fuck (CLI/Terminal) - CMUS Bloat (lots of features some you want, some you didn't know you wanted and stuff you won't use) - tomahawk. Source: about 2 years ago

• The 10 tools I install on every new Mac I get

  VLC - plays everything, has excellent keyboard shortcuts and can in a pinch even record screens for you (free). - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• Why Open Source Software VLC's official website has been blocked for over 5 months now?

  Try accessing it without the 'www' subdomain (https://videolan.org/vlc/). Source: almost 2 years ago

• AV1 no working

  I think I recommend you to use VLC Media Player without AV1 extension, it just decode. Source: over 2 years ago
