Quod Libet vs MusicBee Comments
Neur0n6060It doesn't automatically import the m3u playlists even after giving it permission to the libraries, but I can import the playlists. Other music players can import the playlists & maintain the playlists' individual names, but this app doesn't import the playlists with their individual names. It just shows "1st song's name in the playlist and specific numbers more" as the playlist name. I can change the imported playlist's name, but this means that the imported playlists are stored in "~/.config/quodlibet/playlists" as xspf (which is an audio file but also has a playlist-type structure when opened with a text editor) instead of just using the playlists from the folder that initially has the playlists. And I can't even change the keyboard shortcuts "normally." The given keyboard shortcuts don't even have an option to pause/play, play the next/previous track, or change the volume. Which is a problem since the playlists are shown on the bottom/middle right-side and all the changing tracks/volumes options are in the top left corner. Which feels like taking groceries from another country and flying back to the home country to eat the groceries. Again, these are not exactly "user-friendly"/"easy-to-use" features. But one good thing about this app is that it's way faster & less resource intensive than the others when importing libraries.

Tauon Music Box vs MusicBee Comments
lempamoVery elegant like MusicBee is, however it lacks key library management features (tagging, automatic file organizing, etc.) to work for my case
FaerlyUnfortunately on Linux there isn't really a great single solution to everything MusicBee does, but Tauon manages the playing of files, gapless playback of FLAC, mini player, and last.fm scrobbling end of things, and offers a convenient workflow with MusicBrainz Picard to handle the library management.

Lollypop vs MusicBee Comments
Daltro Auguso Campanher de SouzaLollypop may be a really clean and pretty interface piece of software, but compared to MusicBee, it lacks of more library-specific functionalities like path-driven organization, a lot of more filters for smart playlists, a more customizable interface (and well, MusicBee is one of the most customizable players I've ever seen).
As I recently switched to linux, I've tried almost every music players looking for a alternative to the album cover view, and I've finally found it !

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.
