    This is weirdly timely, considering I installed Feishin last week in my never-ending quest to find a music player that’s as familiar and useful to me as iTunes.

    Initially I was put off at having to also install Navidrome just to be able to listen to the music I alredy have available to me, but ultimately it’s ok. And yeah, Feishin is nice. Perhaps a little ‘busy’, but compared to Strawberry it’s minimal, stripped down application. I know everyone seems to love Strawberry, but I hate it. I shouldn’t have to make a playlist in order to be able to listen to an album. Just let me press play on the sodding album!

    Anyway, yeah +1 for Feishin here.

      For iTunes based music player there is also rhythmbox which is standalone (no subsonic server needed). It’s what i used until i ultimately switched to navidrome + supersonic. I’ll check out feishin since that didn’t come up in my initial search last year. Ive liked supersonic though. It has a decent, simple UI and you can play albums by clicking on them

      Edit: ok feishin seems pretty cool. I might stick with this
