I tried out most (if not all) of the music players on flathub, but I always end up going back to Rhythmbox. It’s so simple, lightweight, got just enough features (for my use case) and blends well with GTK Desktops (I mostly use Gnome and Cinnamon) and it looks so clean in my Nord theme 😆

How has your experience with Rhythmbox? do y’all got any alternative you think everybody should give a try? I personally think Elisa is a close second!

    I really just want a media player that:

    1. Has good media library support based on tags (lots do)

    2. Has ReplayGain support (lots do)

    3. Lets me have an album art panel bigger than a thumbnail (and here is where so many options fall short, including Rhythmbox)

    Deadbeef seems to be the closest due to its good customizability, but the plugin which allows for actual media library capability is apparently Mac-only, for some unfathomable reason.

    Gonna be stuck with Foobar via Wine for a fair sight longer, I think.

      Clementine does all those things. I may have mistaken what you are asking for. Are you wanting a cover larger than a thumbnail in the “catalog” section?

          Got it. My initial thought was you wanted to see the cover when it was playing. This makes more sense now. I don’t use covers in the catalog part because my library is way too big. I would never be able to scroll through them all!
