It's the best AIMP replacement I've found, very flexible queue. Love the playlist support. I wish it had more UI customization options. The libre.fm integration is also broken for me unfortunately.

Fork of Clementine that's less bloated, and allowing bit perfect playback in Linux. Supports Tidal in Hi-Fi too.
I've tried Strawberry, after being a clementine fan. Strawberry is very much the same. I have however found it isn't very stable - I'm running Windows 10 (1903). I've got it running on a new machine with plenty of RAM and a pretty tiny music collection but it freezes and crashes.
Windows releases 0.6.6, 0.6.7 and 0.6.8 had some stability issues caused by the GStreamer WASAPI plugin, version 0.6.8 has been rebuilt and repackaged as 0.6.8.11.g3791d11 with the WASAPI plugin removed and a added Qt style plugin, this solves the stability issues and also adds a nicer GUI appearance. It can be downloaded now from https://www.strawberrymusicplayer.org/ The problem can also be solved by setting the Output in the backend setting to "Output to a sound card via Direct Sound" or by deleting libgstwasapi.dll from the gstreamer-plugins directory. If this doesn't solve your problem file a bug report on https://github.com/jonaski/strawberry/issues

Used to love the program, but now, the guy has turned greedy and wants money for the Windows versions. Is this guy nuts??? I don't wanna hear any of his excuses. He needs to wake up and realize no one wants to pay for open source software. This is not gonna end well for him.
"no one wants to pay for open source software" Exactly the reason why:

"Exactly the reason why:
Most foss developers are underpaid.
Most foss apps gets discontinued.
Most foss apps lack behind proprietary software whose devs actually gets paid"
There's no excuse for greed.

Great for music organization, tagging, and playlist management.
It makes music better
Fast, easy to use and comes with some radio stations included, like (the most important one), Radio Paradise! The search and filtering and the various types of auto playlists helps keeping tabs on your music library. It's similar to Clementine, but takes up less space and feels less cluttered in a way. Still, has a ton of features, but is missing dark mode which is a bit of a let down. Hopefully they'll add that in soon.
On Linux just switching to "DArk Mode" on gnome-shell gives me dark mode already! Also you can use a tool called qt6ct to customize colors, fonts, etc.

Should be built-in the app, not requiring some obscure third-party app to achieve.
