Big fan of MusicBee, been using it for years.
Yes, it’s really good! I still run it with proton, because I couldn’t find a good alternative on Linux. banshee is unmaintained (it was my favorite for a long time) and all others have their shortcomings in some way or another.
What’s wrong with Clementine? I have yet to find a better desktop music player. Radios, podcasts, library, playlists, what’s missing?
My understanding is that Clementine is no longer maintained.
Yeah, that is more or less true. Although the github page is a newer version than the web page says it is.
It builds and works great though.
Looks like garbage, can’t support multiple genre tags. Might as well be VLC as far as music management.
God I miss MusicBee.
Looks like garbage? Wtf? Looks great and is easy to use I am so confused by this comment.
I don’t use genres so I guess that is a valid complaint if you use them.
As far as music management, other than genre, what is missing?
I have it connected to over 4tb of my music and its fast, searches work on many levels, and I have never seen a player better.
It looks like Windows Vista. Not a fan.
Multiple genre tags are a big part of how I search around my collection. This feature built into ID3 over 25 years ago. Absolute lunacy that I can only find three players anywhere that support it (MusicBee, Quod Libet, Foobar and derivatives). Otherwise, MB’s layout just felt more clean, intuitive, and user-friendly.
Clementine wouldn’t recognize my phone, either, so reading/syncing was also out. Basically none of the reasons I wanted it worked and I hated the way it looked. But apparently all most people ask of music players is “plays music.mp3 when I navigate to the folder and double click on the icon.” In which case any of them do that, so Clementine isn’t anything special.
Apologies for the tone. I’m pretty bitter about the state of music players on Linux.
Foobar2k is amazing and still has a very active community making extensions and plugins.
