Is there any Linux music player that does not suck?
« on: Tue, 07 January 2025, 14:32:01 »
I keep my MP3 files in folders like I would records or CDs on a shelf, eg /Music/Rock/The Beatles/1966 Revolver/701 - Taxman, 702 - Eleanor Rigby, etc

In Windows it was always so simple, pretty much any program would open a folder and play the songs, one after another, until it got to the end of the folder.

Probably my greatest frustration after leaving M$ a few years ago is that I cannot find a music program that will perform that exceedingly simple task.

Selecting all those files and pushing "Play" will play either the first or last song and then quit.

And no, I have absolutely no desire to "create" bull**** like "playlists" (whatever in the hell that is, I suppose it's like a virtual mix cassette?) or other absurd and time-consuming tasks just to listen to an album. Or 3 songs in a row off of an album.

I know that I am old and curmudgeonly, but is that asking too much? Can anyone suggest a simple and cooperative player?

Thank you very much for not loading this thread with useless crap such as telling me about things that don't work.

"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.
