    Takes long time to set it up not to look awful and be usable. Barely usable out of the box. Absence of built-in album art grid for browsing library is huge disadvantage for me. Can be added with some extensions tho. With time you can make it look really how you want and it is fast too

    Way too ugly, it's more of a music player, a very capable, but not a music manager.

    MediaMonkey was the first of the lineage of music library managers/players that has spawned the likes of JRiver, MusicBee and others. While development has slowed and it's not as naturally performant as some of the others and the interface is a little clunky, it still retains all the power that made it the best tool for the job for many years.

    Great alternative, don't hesitate to go through the plugins since it's a goldmine, also the possibilty to switch theme easily, use the waveform sound bar and the cover panel with the songs as sidebar is great ! Works perfectly with debian 10 and eOS 5.1.7.
