From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Personally, I use cmus, though I've been looking around for alternatives also, just to see if there's something better for me. My main issue with cmus is having to build playlists within it, instead of using m3u files. This means I have to back up both my regular playlists I use on my phone, and my cmus playlists. But I haven't really found anything as easy to use and intuitive as cmus so far. I used to like deadbeef but I dropped it because it wasn't available everywhere and I wasn't the biggest fan of its interface.
Biggest gripe with cmus are are the hotkeys, its totally unintuitive and frustrating if you don't use it daily and everywhere. Additional small gripe: no album covers, but thats with most terminal players.
You can change them. It's what I did.
Sane defaults, thank you.
