Looks like garbage? Wtf? Looks great and is easy to use I am so confused by this comment.

I don't use genres so I guess that is a valid complaint if you use them.

As far as music management, other than genre, what is missing?

I have it connected to over 4tb of my music and its fast, searches work on many levels, and I have never seen a player better.

It looks like Windows Vista. Not a fan.

Multiple genre tags are a big part of how I search around my collection. This feature built into ID3 over 25 years ago. Absolute lunacy that I can only find three players anywhere that support it (MusicBee, Quod Libet, Foobar and derivatives). Otherwise, MB's layout just felt more clean, intuitive, and user-friendly.

Clementine wouldn't recognize my phone, either, so reading/syncing was also out. Basically none of the reasons I wanted it worked and I hated the way it looked. But apparently all most people ask of music players is "plays music.mp3 when I navigate to the folder and double click on the icon." In which case any of them do that, so Clementine isn't anything special.

Apologies for the tone. I'm pretty bitter about the state of music players on Linux.

I guess it doesn't look like windows to me, maybe because I am not on windows? It follows my custom theme on KDE with kvantum quite nicely.

I am not sure what else it could look like... Although you can customize what you want to see, title, name, date, source, bitrate and a couple of dozen more things.

I have no idea what you mean by folder, it's a cataloged library in a database....

I don't know about copying to my phone, I just stream to it. All the actual files are on a server with several ways to access that.

But podcasts sync without issue to a tiny mp3 device I take kayaking.

Edit: I forgot to say, I get it if you use multi Genre it is a deal breaker. I went and looked at music bee, and they use those damn circle cut icons (hate that so much) and lots of album covers. I have no use for either.
