Comments and Reviews
DeaDBeeF version 1.8.3
The best, player which works on any platform. Here's what makes it great:
You deserve a player like this!
okish but global hotkey control even support of media keys is TOTAL RUBBISH + arrogant developer
Customisation is the GOAT. Better than foobar2000. Works great on Linux Mint 22.
I found the initial layout.. uninspiring :) And i also found that customising the layout a little confusing at first, but then something 'clicked' and it was easy. I like DeadBeef because it loads fast, is very responsive, and plays all my varied music types well, including gapless. Not as pretty as some players, not as feature-rich as a media manager. Very good at what it does. Three stars may seem low vs my commentary, but i think people are far too generous with 5 star reviews. A 5 star reviews means it is without fault, perfect. Even though it is 3 stars to me, it's still my default player.
very nice alternative to foobar2000
All my relationships with this software ended after they violated political neutrality. Software devs, even open-source must not mess their hands within such a dirt.
What do you mean?
The developers are from Ukraine and, of course, they will support Ukraine and talk about the crimes committed by muscovy (the so-called "russia"). What kind of "political neutrality" are you talking about when missiles launched by muscovy fall on your head?
So basically you're a subhuman russian getting offended by Ukrainians not liking their country getting bombed. Maybe you can drink some cheap vodka to dull the pain.
Taking sides over a fully orchestrated geopolitical event is a complete waste of time and energy. Why not thank the developer for the program itself, then pack your bags and leave? You can't force anyone to change their opinions.
Thanks for the notice. Not going to try that one now.
it supports major audio codecs and tags, it simple to operate with multiple EQ's
