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!

    Someone mentioned Immich recently and it sounded like the cool kids are using it now, so maybe it’s worth looking into. I’m just a cavedweller and use command line mplayer, but given all the song metadata, the features you mention are pretty easy to do. Is every song necessarily on an album though?
