    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)

    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!

    It neatly integrates with the GTK environment which makes a very nice look. After studying the various features to tune queries it even equals clementine's intelligent playlist feature. A further plus: scanning a large music library is dead fast. I'll stick to it.

    Quod Libet is vastly expandible with plugins leaving no wishes unanswered, reading the library is dead fast and it looks well on all gnome/xfce/lxde environments.
