Talk:Comparison of audio player software

line Amarok in table General
Could someone address the issue of the line Amarok in the table General? I don't know how to make it myself. Thanks! Jacques Prestreau (talk) 11:56, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Spotify
I have some issues with Spotify's treatment in this article. For one thing, it is primarily a streaming client and therefore not comparable with most of the other players (I don't know much about the other streaming clients on the list but I imagine similar considerations also apply). The desktop apps are compatible with local file playback, so it does have a number of features which are comparable to the others', but these features are not actually addressed:


 * the local library can include various audio formats, but MP3 is listed as the only compatible format
 * it is not included in the Container format ability section despite being able to play some of the containers therein
 * in Extended features, ReplayGain tags are listed as not supported, which is true, but the feature represented (loudness equalization) is supported

Given there is already an article Comparison of on-demand music streaming services, perhaps streaming services' clients should not be included in this article - or if they are, they should be included only in terms of their local media playback capabilities as otherwise meaningful comparisons can't be made.

Dopamine
I'm currently looking for an open source music player for Windows that shows a good album overview and looks nice, and I found Dopamine. It is actively developed and published under GPLv3. Do you think it's worth adding? Can anyone imagine why no one talks about it and why it doesn't have a big community, but still gets developed? -- MissMercy (talk) 21:15, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
