Recently switched to Linux and have been looking for alternatives for Musicbee, which I used for ages in Windows. I guess I could make it work with Wine but thought I’d ask here for suggestions first. Features I’m looking for are not a lot to ask IMO:
- Music folder can be anywhere, not only ~/Music
- In the list of songs by a given artist, I can sort by album year, but the tracks within each album stay in the correct order
- The player remembers where I left off the next time I open it
I’m using Rhythmbox and it’s great but unfortunately it doesn’t do #3 (if I missed some setting let me know please).
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Best options from the comments were Strawberry and Quod Libet. I think I’ll go with Quod Libet. Thanks all for the suggestions.
Audacious is also cool if you want to go “retro” and use old winamp skins.
Definitely agree - I usually use cmus because it follows my system theme as part of the terminal and kind of fits in anywhere, but for graphical players having options for skins is a must for me.
