Clementine [1] is pretty cool. It does everything I need:

- cross-fading between songs

- a real queue that is separate from the playlist so you can program what plays next and in which order easily (CTRL+D to add / remove, and a advanced window can show the queue)

- a remote control with an Android app

- stop after this song

- a giant search / filter bar. It does not has to have the focus to start searching, just type when Clementine is the active window

- MPRIS integration (obviously)

- several playlists open at the same time

- the mood bar

It also has:

- tag editing

- integration with many online services

- a library handling that does not get in the way but full-featured anyway

- support for removable media

It's awesome. It could use some pretty some improvement for its look, but it is pretty decent and does the job.

It's a fork and a continuation of Amarok 1.4.

I really like Strawberry [1], a fork of Clementine. "It is a fork of Clementine released in 2018 aimed at music collectors and audiophiles."

+1 When I ran linux everywhere, Clementine was my goto player. This was over 5 years ago, I'm sure its only gotten better.


According to their website, the most recent release is from 2016.


Distributions actually ship more recent versions from the git repository. I'm currently running a release tagged as version 1.4 rc2 (openSUSE Tumbleweed).

The project is still alive, it somehow has an issue releasing a version but the player is stable.
