• Suggest some local music player for debian based distros

  Gmusicbrowser is pretty good feature-wise. It's very configurable and has many different layouts. It might not look very modern by default, but with a modern gtk theme and some fiddling it looks okay to me at least. Source: over 1 year ago

• Prima: Cross-platform GUI toolkit written in Perl

  Perl actually had a pretty good UI story way back when. Perl/Tk always was well documented and Perl's syntax works quite well with the original Tcl-ish/Shell style. Note that GIT's default GUI parts are written in exactly that. Tk then hit a bit of a limit when it came to common widgets, and so got less popular. Perl also had a good implementation of Win32, if I remember correctly. These days, both Perl and GUIs... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• What do you guys use to play music on the go?

  I also use Roon, which is a little complicated to describe here. Basically I have my own home server with music on, and then I can use the Roon ARC app to access it on the go, similar to above (and is similar to PlexAmp mentioned elsewhere here). Source: 11 months ago

• Poor schemas, poor cataloguing: why music tagging sucks

  Roon handles metadata and relationships between entities the least bad of anything I’ve tried. It’ll do things like link covers and live performances of the same song together, or let you group multiple issues of the same album and switch between them. It’s not cheap, and it takes some effort to fix some bad source data, but I’ve found it very rewarding and get a ton of enjoyment exploring my library now.... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• iOS 16.3 Code Reveals Apple Continues to Work on Classical Music App

  Take a look at Roon. It's pricing and mobile limitations are disqualifications for me, but it's tagging is simply phenomenal. Source: over 1 year ago
