What is Exaile?
Exaile is a cross-platform music manager and player for GTK+ written in Python and is easily extensible via plugins. It incorporates automatic fetching of album art, handling of large libraries, lyrics fetching, artist/album information via Wikipedia, streaming Internet radio, Last.fm submission support, and optional iPod support via a plugin.
In addition, Exaile also includes a built-in SHOUTcast directory browser, tabbed playlists (so you can have more than one playlist open at a time), smart playlists with extensive filtering/search capabilities, blacklisting of tracks (so they don't get scanned into your library) and more.

Comments and Reviews
I love Exaile. One of my favourite music player. It works with Debian 8 Jessie with GNOME 3.14. It's easy to use. Cross-platform. Lightweight. Supports drag and drop of files. 50+ plugins. Lots of features. Such as automatic fetching of album art, lyrics fetching, streaming internet radio, tabbed playlists, smart playlists with extensive filtering/search capabilities, and much more. Also Exaile is more secure because its code is publicly available for review and contributions on GitHub at https://github.com/exaile/exaile
Exaile is well documented for both users and developers at http://exaile.readthedocs.org
Exaile is written using Python and GTK+ and is easily extensible via plugins.
If you're using Linux the package is already included in most repository. So easy to install.
The bad news is if you're using Debian you need to manually install the gstreamer plugins packages for most audio files to play. The maintainer said it's one of the things he might try to address with the next Exaile version 4.0. Source at https://github.com/exaile/exaile/issues/35#issuecomment-294575195
Very nice, compact layout/interface, decent amount of features. Good option for Linux, along with DeaDBeeF and Quod Libet.
Better and easier to use than Foobar2000 and AIMP!
