These weeks we have been consulting what they are for you the best music players available for Linux. We do not specify how these players should be, but for many users the best options have to have a good, highly visual music library. The amount of different opinions that exist is surprising, but it is not so surprising if we talk about users whose operating system usually offers a whole range of possibilities.
From among your proposals Two stood out for being the ones with the most votes. Between those two there was a winner, but by very little. Probably, the winner was because it is the player that is installed by default in Ubuntu (the blog is called "Ubunlog"), which does not prevent many from installing another player that for them offers other functions or is more visually attractive. Below I reveal which are the favorite music players for you and which one won the battle, although you can imagine it by the mention of Ubuntu's default player.

Rhythmbox
In the consultation carried out, there was a tie among users who said that Rhythmbox it was his favorite player and those who said it was Clementine. If Rhytmbox won it is because it was your choice if you had to choose one of the two. Regarding its characteristics, who does not know Rhythmbox? It is a simple program that perfectly organizes the music library. In fact, that's one of the reasons why you choose it: while Rhythmbox organizes the library perfectly, other music players don't do it as well, which can be annoying especially if we later have to fix some bugs manually.
Rhythmbox supports radios, different types of music files, and his library includes album covers that he picks up from the internet. In my opinion, it is missing an equalizer, but it can be installed manually. It also seems to me that it has a too simple design, but everything it does, it does it well.
Clementine
Considering the design and the equalizer thing, I personally have a hard time choosing between Clementine or Rhytmbox. When I have used Ubuntu I have stayed with Rhythmbox, but simply because it is installed by default and, if an option is relatively good, I like to stay with the default software. Rhytmbox is a very good option and having it installed I don't need to look any further. But there was a time when it wasn't like that and I stayed with Clementine.
Clementine is a evolution or simplification of AmaroK, the player that until the latest version of Kubuntu was installed by default in the KDE version of Ubuntu. It offers a lot of information that it collects from different web services and includes an equalizer, I'm sorry if I get heavy with this but for me it is important and it would save me from having to use PulseEffects. If you have used AmaroK I think you will appreciate what they have done with Clementine, which is basically ordering what, for me, was a great player spoiled by its chaos.

Among the other players that some of you have mentioned we have:
- VLC: the famous VideoLan player. VLC It is an all-rounder that allows us to watch movies in different formats or play music. It can be configured so that we only see a mini-player and we can make the music library show, but at the moment it does not show covers or photos of the groups. This is something that looks like it will arrive in VLC 4, at which point we will publish an article and perhaps many of you will change your answer.
- Lollypop: if it weren't for some issues I've experienced on Kubuntu, this It could become my music player/library. It has a very neat interface and its library is one of the most attractive and functional I have tried. The problem, at least in my case, is that it doesn't work as well as I would like: when changing songs (always in my case) it eats up a couple of seconds from the beginning. On the other hand, it has a hard time showing the artists/albums. If they polish that, maybe I'll start using it... because it has an equalizer 
- Prague: in January we wrote about this great player. His image looks like a hybrid between Clementine and Rhythmbox and is a great option. In the tests that I have carried out, I have failed to index the songs, and not because I did not do it well, but because too many files appeared in my lists (in my case the ones that Cantata, from Kubuntu, has created for me).
- Audacious: it is a fork of XMMS, which in turn was created to look like Winamp, the famous Windows music player. What it does best is to play lists in a small player that we can expand to show the playlist. Regarding the reproductorIt offers everything we could wish for, but fails in terms of a music library if what we want is to see detailed images.
What is the best music player for Linux for you? Are you one of those who voted for Rhythmbox / Clementine or one of those who proposed something less popular?
