Audio players that actually support gapless playback?
Just to name another one: deadbeef. Source: about 1 year ago
Why does my system hate Robert Plant? 😂
Https://deadbeef.sourceforge.io/ is supposed to have a graphic EQ built in. Source: about 1 year ago
Clementine or another Music Player?
Using DeadBeef ...IT IS LOCATED IN THE SOFTWARE MANAGER OF LINUX MINT.....no need to download from the web sitehttps://deadbeef.sourceforge.io/. Source: over 1 year ago
Music Player supporting display by Composers (not artists)
I'd recommend to have a look at deadbeef. The GUI is pretty customizable and at least in the playlist view you can display all the file properties and tags you like. Source: over 1 year ago
Any actually good linux music players?
Deadbeef with a filebrowser plugin. Awesome player. Was created with Foobar2000 in mind. Source: over 1 year ago

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
