Any plans to bring back the music player?
I would love to be able to listen to my music collection while gaming..

I know it's possible to just install a third party one and add it to Steam, but I would love for the Music Player to come back, maybe with some additions like integration with the Decks quick menu!

I'd like to bump this thread in support of integrating the Steam music player on the Steam Deck.

+1 on this, I keep forgetting I have a ton of music on steam. Perfect reason to play what I have plus buy some more soundtracks too

+1 not only would it be for game soundtracks it would also be nice for local tracks which we currently have in the music player in steam on pc which is hidden away and I do use it quite a bit

even if this doesnt get added I will just have one on the desktop but switching to it will be a little annoyance

+1, just had a flashback to the PSP and remembered it's awesome build in image viewer, music player and video player that could play anything off the memory card.

Yes I know we could install the desktop applications for these things. We don't technically 'need' dedicated functionality for these things.

We also don't need to eat soup with a spoon, we could just pour it on our faces. We don't need shoes either, lets just go everywhere bare foot!

But it'd be definitely bloody nice to have definitely.

On the off chance someone from Valve is reading this: Don't go nuts with it. It doesn't have to be crazy overloaded with functionality.

Just need an option to pick which folders locally to scan for media files, present them in a neat looking UI. Basic image slideshow functionality for the images, music files just need play/pause/stop/prev/next/shuffle/etc, mp3/wav/wma/ogg support would be nice. And for the video player, basic mp4/avi/etc file support, again play/pause/stop/prev/next/etc. Maybe playlists would be nice to have too.

The Steam Deck has amazing speakers, it'd be just nice to use them for listening to some music too. But desktop software for media is not really well suited for a handheld gaming device.

GP2X-type devices have a great basic media player called GMU. It would be awesome to see something like where the gamepad buttons are bound to media controls. The only problem I ever had with those devices is that I want to listen to the music while playing games. Multiprocessing is one of the things that makes the Steam Deck better than most of the console competition. It would be sweet to be able to listen to my own music while playing games.
If there is not going to be a built-in music player, it would be nice to have more compatibility with normal desktop players. I'm currently testing all the music players available in Flathub, and currently the only one I have found with good functionality in Gaming Mode is Kodi, which is basically if Steam Big Picture Mode was open source.
To control that media player in the background, it would be great if the chord button configuration could be modified, although I'm guessing from the GUI that's right around the corner.
Also, it would be very nice if gaming mode could have per-stream volume control in the quick menu to modulate the volumes of multiple streams.

the last thing I want is to hear the musical tastes of those who play online with the microphone. Simply use a smartphone.

Even if they used a smart phone,.you could still hear it if they didn't use headphones.

If a player really wants to annoy you with music they will.

Just want to add, this isn't a request for something I'd hypothetically use either.. I am already using my Steam Deck as like a mini stereo all the time, it's actually surprisingly great as a music player. But I'm using desktop music apps, youtube, etc. They're not really ideal for it. A built in music player that is designed for the deck's inputs, and optimised to run on battery, etc, would be really sweet.

Man, I'd love to be able to sign in to my Apple Music subscription (passwordless, using a QR code on the Deck scanned by an iPhone) and listen to music while gaming.

At bare minimum, 3rd-party players can be reasonably integrated into Gaming Mode by binding some key combos to generic media commands in the default controller setup, prefferably something far off the usual arrangement used in in-game controller mappings (eg: the steam button plus the custom back paddles)

The good news on that front is that there is a well established linux standard for media player interaction called MPRIS

MPRIS allows common commands like play, pause, stop, fast forward, rewind, next and previous can be passed to the media player from several input methods (most commonly keyboard media keys, but it can be anything really, even UI buttons on a custom desktop widget or notification area of the taskbar)

It also allows the media player to offer information for usage in other apps and OS components, like song title, artist, album, year, current position and total duration, even the cover art.

For basic interaction, it would then be enough for Steam to implement a generic MPRIS-based music UI (especially on Gaming Mode). This would be great for people who centralize their musics on streaming services like Tidal or Spotify, because it's not easy to work with those directly, and there are several of them.

On the other hand, AFAIK the MPRIS interface does not offer a way to manage the playlist (especially to navigate the library, favourites, etc and add stuff to it), so at some point calling up the original app UIs of those players is hard to avoid... which is a bit painful on Gaming Mode due to it being quite unsuitable for multitasking.

It's also a shame to not have an internal player because it would waste steam's own library of OSTs and leave those untapped or less easily enjoyed by requiring the user to set up some 3rd-party player, unoptimal cataloguing, no way to auto-pick stuff related to the current game, etc.
