I also like this one :-)

I'll try this one, not familiar to me. As my preferred desktop is XFCE, 
it interests me.

It doesn't start scanning the collection till I changed in preferences 
"Watch my library for new files", then it does that fast.

I don't know where it stores "last played". Some players write this to 
the file itself, others to some not compatible database. It would be 
nice for players to agree in some auxiliary file format to keep this info.

It has a little panel that lists all artists, another all albums (in 
browse mode, it is a toggle button). Coming from Clementine, things do 
not seem obvious, but it has enough features to be usefull. It can edit 
fields, even on a bunch of files simultaneously.

Double click on an album does not add it to the play list, but starts 
playing it immediately.

When I installed it (on 15.1 beta) I saw it bringing in brasero, so it 
should be able to burn CDs from selected tracks. Maybe it can also 
handle USB sticks.

Confusingly, clicking on the window close button closes it completely, 
it does not go to the tray. And when restarted, it doesn't go back to 
the place in the track it was playing.

It has by default plugins for radio, podcasts, last.fm, and libre.fm, 
and others in the configuration.

It does cover art search by default.


Not bad, all in all :-)
