Been enjoying Rhythmbox, what are your thoughts?
-
Clementine does all those things.
Yes, bigger than that. I have tried Clementine.

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!

I just read that navidrome
Handles large libraries!
Plays well with gigantic music collections (tested with ~900K songs - 2/3 FLAC, 1/3 MP3)
Though, I don't know if any of the supported Subsonic API clients can handle as much...
Gonic works pretty well with my library, and Tempo is fine for a client. I mostly just put stuff on an SD card in my Fiio these days, though.

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'm currently using Sayonara, but Rythmbox is perfectly fine too.

I really really don't get why you just can't organize your music in plain old folders with rhythmbox. Not Playlists, not Meta data. Just folders. Ist it that exotic? Is it that hard to implement?

My musics are organized by metadata, playlists AND folders. I currently got about 1980+ songs locally, and felt like I needed all of these methods to keep them organized and good looking

I use strawberry now, which is a clementine derivative. Having my library in one column on the side and just pulling stuff from the library to a variable custom playlist is my preferred player style. Exaile is also like this, and deadbeef too if your library is organized and you add the filebrowser plugin. I use strawberry over those two because it's the only one I can get from the main arch repositories and I try to minimize AUR usage.
Pragha actually fits this style too and is still in the arch repos, but I don't understand why because it stopped getting upstream updates years ago and is a buggy mess compared to strawberry with no advantages.
I definitely miss the clementine remote though, being able to control the player from an android phone was so convenient and I don't know any other player that has similar.
Thanks for this i will check strawberry app

And is there any way to play songs by folder with rhythmbox yet? Haven't looked into it for a while.

I would recommend the Feishin desktop player if using navidrome. It's a solid player in my experience, and has a smart playlist creator UI which the navidrome webui does not include.
