    Tauon integration with Subsonic is way better than what you can get with MusicBee's extension.

    Tauon is a full-featured music library manager and streaming client. Audacious is way lighter and more of a Winamp3 replacement for Linux.

    It supports Subsonic-API servers, but doesn't support ratings for any their songs. Also, interface is not as customizable and a bit clunky compared to Tauon. Advantage is that Strawberry is QT-native, so a bit lighter than Tauon (specially for Linux Qt environments).
