From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Do people really use VLC to listen to music?
Yes in android
I used to, 15 years ago.
Good times.
Music, no. All sorts of other audio like BBC radio dramas, yes.
Yes. I mostly use it for video though, but since my Video and Music libraries are side by side, I play my music in it too. I'm not really interested in the visualizer stuff so I'm not looking directly at the player, but I think I know what you are going to say, that it's organization and search capabilities for music has a lot of room for improvement, ha.
I used, but today I use Clementine (is still alive) and sometimes QMMP with somo winamp skins
VLC It's a good Music player if you only need to play music
