Switched to TMB and never looked back. It looks slick n awesome and its lightweight. it has pretty much everything i ever wanted in a music player. Plus Taiko is always taking into account users suggestions on how to improve or add features without bloating the software. must have.

Tried a lot of music players in Linux, this is one of my favorites. Lots of features, nice design and really nice search features. The only negative point is that it does not integrate well with the Gnome style, but it is still a 5 star app.

It's just the best music player available for Linux right now. It's an active and evolving project, with a lot of features, that make him one of the best music library managers available (a lot of custom filters, customizable interface, rating system independent from tags) and easily the best self-hosted streaming client we have. It does have compatibility with: koel, Jellyfin, Airsonic, PLEX and even Spotify or Satellite. I can even create customized local-stored playlists using everything I could have in any of those services, all mixed together. Tauon offers an option to export all the settings and library also. It's outstanding!

This thing is insane! Absolutely lightweight, yet full featured music player with an intuitive behavior, ridiculously fast search and a comfortable GUI. Honestly, it's the _best _music player that I've used in the past 25 years.
