    VLC for video MediaMonkey for audio

    Neither have ever failed me unless the files themselves have errors, then that’s beyond their control

      Foobar2000 for me for audio! Handles hundreds of thousands of songs on a standard USB HDD over the network incredibly fast, plays every audio file, best tag editing features I’ve ever seen, full conversion from lossless to other formats, a hella minimal interface dark before they was a common thing, and a tiny footprint.

      Incredible piece of software. I love it so much.

          Same! Anyone have reccos for Linux players that are like Foobar2000? It FEELS like a piece of software that should be on Linux hahaha

          Edit: I’m reading it works great with Wine, but I’ve never used that before as I’m new to “as primary OS, non-CLI Linux” so I’ll try that later!

            Yeah I’ve heard that too, I’d just rather not have to deal with wine for something as basic as a media player. Especially when it’s supposed to be as simple and lightweight as foobar
