Version: 3.9.1 (software centre) 4.2.1 (flatpak & PPA) Website: https://github.com/quodlibet/quodlibet From the web: Quod Libet is a music management program. It provides several different ways to view your audio library, as well as support for Internet radio and audio feeds. It has extremely flexible metadata tag editing and searching capabilities.
This music player is in active development and can be downloaded via your software centre. There is something in the back of my mind that tells me the name is Latin for whatever, but I do not want you to say “whatever” – I want you to give this player a go. It integrated very nicely with most of my themes. It picked up all my music via the library function - it may take a while the very first time. (Unless you have more than 1024 files per directory.) The interface is clean but not customizable. As desktop Linux users, we like to customize if nothing else. There is also no spectrum analyser. Some things are a bit arb, for instance, you can enable LastFM scrobbling via the plug-ins, but unless you also enable the LastFM sync, it does not scrobble. Right, now with the bad out of the way, let’s talk about the good. The settings allow you to set a custom cache size, so there were no skips when the drive was under load. The player folds up nicely, but does not have a mini player.
Quod Libet supports media keys out the box, which makes using it a pleasure. You can even bookmark your playlists. The filters on right-click of any song are also very handy. Simple key combinations like alt + enter drop you right into the tag editor. Speaking of the tag editor, it may seem minimal, but, for quick fixes, it does the job and it is quick. Another nice thing about Quod Libet is that it supports a full unicode set, so no funnies with song names. This nifty desktop application supports podcasts and radio streams without hassle. Though it supports control from the tray icon, this did not work on Ubuntu Budgie (no icon). Quod Libet also supports old formats, like tracker files playback. The time tracker is hidden, even in full screen mode, and you have to click on the time to find it. The keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl + ? - but this did not work on Ubuntu Budgie) are very nicely displayed for your perusal. One has to look at just the man page to see that Quod Libet is manageable from the command line.

The player is completely cross platform, so it can be your player in all your operating systems. It can fetch album art for you, or use the embedded album art. Clicking on the album art will produce a bigger picture, depending on whether you right- or left-clicked. I do encourage you to play with the plug-ins, as there are many and some quite novel ones, like bpm-tap. Lastly, I want to mention that it has karaoke for all you budding x-factor singers. Quod Libet feels like a lucky packet; every time you play with it, you discover something new!
