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:

  1. Music folder can be anywhere, not only ~/Music
  2. 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
  3. 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.

    I’m currently using Strawberry. Before that Deadbeef (was perfectly happy with Deadbeaf, just tried something different). MPD with Cantata was on the cards but not got to it yet.
