Poke around the menus and you’ll find everything from a music equalizer to a built-in format conversion tool, from visualizers to support for WiiMotes, and integration with an (optional) ‘Android app’ remote control app. The player hides a ripe amount of advanced options under its (often unwieldy) peel. But there are other reasons to use Clementine, too. If you’re the sort of person who tend to navigate (and manage) your music from a ‘files and folders‘ POV, you’ll appreciate Clementine’s approach to library management. This is because the player offers tree view navigation instead of a column or “artwork” browser. Sayonara Audio PlayerĬlementine is a cross-platform music player written in Qt and is particularly popular with people who manage large music collections.

Install Rhythmbox in Ubuntu and Linux Mint: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/apps For an improved experience on Ubuntu I highly recommend using the rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar available in the Ubuntu repos as it makes the app look 10x better. The player also boasts integration with online music service SoundCloud. It can scrobble to Last.fm, and it has built-in support for podcasts and internet radio stations. The app lets you do more than just play, manage and sort music and create playlists. You can also point the app to look at other sources or folders should you have them. Rhythmbox can automatically watch for new music files stored in the ~/Music folder. Not that you have to settle for this look as a variety of Rhythmbox plugins can be added to customise, rearrange and transform the look and feel of the player into something else entirely. The standard layout of the app is straightforward to navigate, and it’s easy to filter through your music using the column browser or the search box. Widely used, Rhythmbox is a reliable, dependable, and extensible GTK music player that uses the Gstreamer backend. Rhythmbox is the default music player in Ubuntu, and as such merits a place in this list.
