   Sadly one can not give ZERO stars

   Tried Elisa (v22.04.1) under Windows 10 and three mainstream Linux distros (on an i5 3.4GHz with 16GB RAM) and was shocked how slow and clunky the app was. Admitted, my library contains more than 70,600 titles but having to wait 8:30 minutes each time to open the album view, only to lose all that again when switching to an artist view (artist with ONE album, again 3:10 waiting) is absolutely pathetic. Under Linux the waiting was a little shorter, however the app soon started to confuse artist entries (clicking on an artist in the list sent you to some other artist three or four entries down the list). There is no excuse for such shoddy coding, even much older apps I tested can easily (and quickly) cope with my library without problems. Buggy, klunky software is the main reason I stay away from KDE and Elisa being their default KDE muslib app confirms my point of view, and then some.

• Question for you FLAC heads out there

  Vox.rocks lets you upload UNLIMITED music in FLAC (and play in FLAC) from their iOS app (and and Mac and beta Windows app). Source: about 1 year ago

• Best music player for Mac? Something like foobar2000

  I remember Vox has great support for lossless music. As per foobar2000 UI preference, Idk if there's any. Source: about 1 year ago

• I don't want streaming music, I just want to stream my music

  Lots of good suggestions here. One option I haven't seen mentioned yet is Vox: https://vox.rocks/ It's a paid service that seems fairly well polished with apps for different platforms, including mobile. Wondering if anyone's using it and what the feedback is. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• I don't want streaming music, I just want to stream my music

  If one is not up for self hosting (e.g Plex or Jellyfin) then Vox may be of interest. It has a quality Winamp-like media player and offers a lossless digital locker as a subscription. Plus it does BS2B which is a nice thing to have. https://vox.rocks/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Music app all my playlists from 20 years has been jumbled up

  Https://vox.rocks (has commercial aspects, looks pretty but I've found it can be a bit crashy). Source: about 1 year ago
