Looking for music player in Linux - Sopuli

Recently switched to Linux and have been looking for alternatives for Musicbee, which I used for ages in Windows. I guess I could make it work with Wine but thought I’d ask here for suggestions first. Features I’m looking for are not a lot to ask IMO: 1. Music folder can be anywhere, not only ~/Music 2. In the list of songs by a given artist, I can sort by album year, but the tracks within each album stay in the correct order 3. The player remembers where I left off the next time I open it I’m using Rhythmbox and it’s great but unfortunately it doesn’t do #3 (if I missed some setting let me know please). Thanks in advance!

music player demon runs in the background and plays music (always remembers its position, and if you reboot while playing music it'll continue playing automatically when the system is up again), and can be controlled by various clients like Cantata, Euphonica or Plattenalbum (they should all do 2.) and many others. It can output network streams, clients can connect over the network (control the music on your PC from your phone), utility demons to feed your play queue with similar or random songs…

Very versatile, though setup is a bit more complicated than with one simple program.

Music Player Daemon

Music Player Daemon is a flexible, powerful, server-side application for playing music.

cantata is no longer maintained AFAIK, but as mentioned there are other clients such as ario
Ario

Download Ario for free. Ario is a GTK2 client for MPD (Music player daemon). The interface used to browse the library is inspired by Rhythmbox but Ario aims to be much lighter and faster.

Cool, it never came back to arch/artix, however I see it on aur. I actually don’t use gui for mpd, I use ncmpcpp, but good to know it has quite good gui frontend. Aria is good as well, particularly if not much into Qt apps.
