KDE's Elisa Music Player 0.3 Enters Beta

[TheBlackCat]

So like winamp and the old xmms?

I don't know xmms, but the basic design of media players has evolved a lot since winamp. So, no, not really all that similar.

Hi, I am just curious, with all these great players, where do you guys get the music at the first place?

Some less well-known, often independent artists, have a store page on bandcamp.com. There the music is also offered as FLAC and you can donate directly to the artists by paying more than the demanded minimum for something.
Qobuz.com has a much wider range of artists and genres I think, and also seems to care about the audio quality - usually offering different quality levels for download.
Apart from that I don't know any platforms apart from the big ones...
