I check the fooyin is quite buggy. I changed the player layout. But, the music tracks is gone and I need to restart the app again.

I tried quod libet. the design is more like GTK than qt that strawberry/clementine and it is much more retro like and stable. So far so good

You can complain to the dev on their official forum https://forum.strawberrymusicplayer.org/category/2/general-discussion. He is quite active there

what do you think the best local music/mp3 player?

Yes, I updated the title. But, I do not think the author happy with the fork that promote automated compiling because as it said from the takedown post it disrupt the subscription fees

I do not think the author is happy with this because as it said from the takedown post. it disrupts the subscription money.

convenience especially with winget is still the best and not everyone is the developer

the problem is the original Windows and macOSX is version are paywalled. The codeberg version are the compiled versions and the free alternatives

I do not think they can ditch Whatsapp. it is very popular in India

any Thinkpad is fine. My E14 Gen2 is very good with Ubuntu

I found better alternative and it works locally as well. try this https://github.com/digimezzo/dopamine/tags

Clementine still maintained and last update is last month. Wdym? https://github.com/clementine-player/Clementine/releases/tag/1.4.1-38-g1fc7fe0e1

the thing is there are lots of subs that are not migrated to Lemmy.
