Ruhart Solnacht
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).

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.
