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!

Edit: Best options from the comments were Strawberry and Quod Libet. I think I'll go with Quod Libet. Thanks all for the suggestions.

I’ve been happy with Sayonara but don’t know if it can do #2
