    A player with a music library, free no patreon, no ads, no bs full functionality. Far better than foobar can dream, but still not as complete as musicbee

    Not as intuitive or cleanly built. Functions okay, and may very well be functional for what you require, but lacks any music collection management as noted previously. I'm not the hugest fan.

    No music collection management

    One of my favorite music players in Linux and a great alternative to MusicBee. Unfortunately, it doesn't work so well with Windows, but that's what MusicBee is for.

    Comes very barebones, so no playlist or library management or minimize to taskbar by default, but all these features and more can be found as official plugins and attached to the main player through modular placement features.

    A+ for Linux, C for Windows (long startup time, very unresponsive when opening the window from taskbar).

    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.
