    It's a fork of Clementine. Actually better, more stable and currently updated (last commit on GitHub 6 hours ago). Just discovered this program, but am already very happy with it.

    Maybe I don't know how to cook it, but the controls seem ridiculous to me. Almost every player pauses / plays on Space bar. But this one doesn't. And it's impossible to configure it

    great soft, use it regularly. But doesn't have the tabbed playlist function (like many other alternatives unfortunately ) . I'm still looking for an alternative where I can switch playlists (without having to load/save)

    Winamp is So much more complicated than Clementine and Strawberry. Both the aforementioned are so easy to use. Winamp by comparison is like flying the space shuttle. Winamp is an EXCELLENT program but is not similar to Cmementine.

    I really enjoy the plug-in features that Audacious offers that I can't find anywhere else. For example, the built-in Dynamic Range Compressor (DRC) is ideal for me because I work in an office with other computer users. I set the DRC to eliminate most of the dynamic range, then I set my volume high enough to hear my tunes. I'll hear all of the music from the loud to quiet portions and I won't miss a thing!
