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.

Clementine is available for 32-bit systems (of the sort that are perfect for recycling as jukeboxes). Strawberry only has 64-bit packages available.

Comments about Audacious as a Alternative to Clementine
Almost everyone thinks Audacious is a great Clementine alternative.
Guest
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!
