I have a youtube playlist that I download and transfer to my phone. I use the VLC app to play music.
Personally, I
1. go here: https://archive.org/details/GratefulDead
2. click "this day in history",
3. select one that looks good,
4. copy the "VBR M3U" link,
5. open it with mpv from a shell
Modded Spotify apk. Working towards my own library that I am getting through Deemix/Deezer.
ORP and RED flacs.
Vinyl on my phone, mpd on my computer and laptop
FLACs from RED or from albums I've purchased

Spotify, YouTube (and YouTube Music), Bandcamp
My prefred way of listening to music is to imagine it on my head.
Ocasionally I play it on youtube, but my computer is slow, and youtube is
bloated so its quite tedious to search and launch music this way.
So I just ytdl the file and run it over mpv/ffplay on loop.
I never organise these music files tough, so I end up losing them,
and go back to my imagination
This isn't a problem to me tough, because the main metric by which I judge
music, is by how memorable it is. A good song just plays itself.

good knight sweet prince
I just came up wit some scripts to play music :DDD
There are four files, they use mpv internally:
play_song.sh stop_song.sh next_song.sh prev_song.sh
NOTE: These only work properly if there is no instance of mpv running other
than the one they start.
Also, they hold a shared counter variable within /dev/shmUSAGE:
play_song.sh starts a random song from a given directory, when that song ends
it moves to the next song randomly
stop_song.sh stops the current song from playing, if we run play_song.sh after
the same song will start playing
next_song.sh kills the instance of mpv in play_song.sh, this causes the first
script to pick a next script
prev_song.sh kills the instance of mpv in play_song.sh, and it then decrements
a shared counter in /dev/shm, causing the RNG to roll back (thus effectively
playing a previous song)
CODE:
play_song.sh
#!/bin/sh
music_counter="/dev/shm/music_counter"
music_name="/dev/shm/music_name"
music_directory="$HOME/res/snd"
song_count=$(ls $music_directory | wc -l)
while :; do
# If mpv is already running, ragequit (avoid duplicate instances)
pgrep mpv > /dev/null && exit 0
counter=$0
if [ -f $music_counter ]; then
# If there is a counter, read it
counter=$(cat $music_counter)
else
# If there is no counter, set it to random number
counter=$(printf "%d\n" 0x$(xxd -l4 -p /dev/urandom))
echo $counter > $music_counter
fi
# Increment the counter
echo $(expr $counter + 1) > $music_counter
# Generate a random number using the counter as seed
randno=$(printf "%d\n" 0x$(echo $counter | md5sum | xxd -l4 -p))
# Select a file based on this number
fileno=$(expr 1 + $(expr $randno % $song_count))
file=$(ls $music_directory | sed ${fileno}q | tail -n 1)
# Save currently playing song so we can pipe it to script
echo $file > $music_name
# Play file, the execution locks here until the song ends
# or mpv process is killed
mpv "$music_directory/$file"
donestop_song.sh
#!/bin/sh
music_counter="/dev/shm/music_counter"
music_name="/dev/shm/music_name"
music_directory="$HOME/res/snd"
pkill play_song.sh
pkill play_song.sh
pkill mpv
rm -f $music_name
if [ -f $music_counter ]; then
counter=$(cat $music_counter)
# We decrement the counter by 1, because play_song.sh
# will reincrement it
echo $(expr $counter - 1) > $music_counter
finext_song.sh
#!/bin/sh
pkill mpvprev_song.sh
#!/bin/sh
music_counter="/dev/shm/music_counter"
music_directory="$HOME/res/snd"
if [ -f $music_counter ]; then
counter=$(cat $music_counter)
# We decrement the counter by 2 before killing mpv,
# since the counter will increment by 1 right after
echo $(expr $counter - 2) > $music_counter
pkill mpv

Are you German? Because this seems a little overengineered
No. Quite contrarily, I am from a country so mediocre it has no famous engineers at all
MPD + MPC keybindings for my WM. I also use YouTube. Sometimes I listen to music from http://tracker.modarchive.org
I don't
ocp or ffplay in a while loop.
The age of good software is over.
From archive.org or private tracker. Convert to MP3, put it on my last phone, and Bluetooth is everywhere now.
What player do you use? Do you use an equalizer?
I read music as raw bits with a script that triggers feh --bg-scale white.png or feh --bg-scale black.png depending on the value of the bit and I stare at my screen until the music is over

Are you deaf or do you just hate any kind of noise disturbance?
There's too much commitment in music; Bach's music literally reveals (that's a side effect) to me that the world we live in is a suffering. To witness so much beauty is insuperable; when the music ends it feels like you're trading all the jewels of the world for one lump of coal.
Beauty is expensive; I spent days listening to the first movement of Vivaldi's winter, I felt like I was ripping the brain out of a jaguar.
I lived so close to the sun that each day on earth feels like shivers.
I mostly find new songs by idling in ##music on libeta and having a script that plays random youtube link from the log

Oh shir, I fumbled rhe regex!
I just listen to radio.

i believe he meant to fix libera
No.
mpd + ncmpcpp on my laptop
vlc on my phone
youtube on both
i either use torrents, or downloaders for music i can't find alive torrents of
Once upon a time I downloaded the complete Touhou music collection (I suppose it's not complete anymore, since it doesn't have the new stuff) and have been listening to it ever since. mpd + cantata.
