    Really good. Started to use it in my Linux years (mostly on Arch), and using it still on macOS. Interface is a bit chaotic, but it's much better then iTunes so far.

    Swinsian just works. You add music files to it and it plays them. Doesn't move them, doesn't crash, doesn't complain. Very easy to build playlists which also don't just disappear. Swinsian just helps you listen to music in a simple and easy environment, while allowing you to build playlists as you go.
