I've used VLC for years on my laptop to play music. Now that #MusicAssistant that runs in my #HomeAssistant smart home supports synchronized multi-device and multi-room audio (via its #Sendspin protocol), I'm trying out Music Assistant as my main audio player. A nice advantage is I don't have to have my laptop on to play music, radio, podcasts, etc.; I have a Music Assistant server that is running on a headless smart home machine, and various clients with speakers throughout the house.
