Rhythmbox.

does all that, and:

  • has an actually random shuffle
  • Scrobbles
  • doesn't disrupt playlists or shuffle all with the search function
  • has multipane sorter
  • consistent design language that doesn't hurt your eyes

Audacious, I want it simple, since I have everything sorted in the file system. No need for any media databases then.

To answer the question in the threads title. I use lollypop.

I don't know if it fits your requirements tho.

Clementine, primarily for podcasts but also radio and some mp3's

iTunes. (Bracing for a wave of hate)

Less on a wave of hate, but more on you are going to be reminded about contributing something relevant in a Linux thread.

Anyways on-topic:
I use whatever is default for me, so Amarok.

+1 for Lollypop, simple and clean interface. Though I still use Rhythmbox to rip CDs.

Not exactly what you are looking for But I think everyone should know about pianobar. It's an amazing Pandora CLI interface.

Except for the ALAC audio codec which might hide behind some .m4a files. I had to convert them to MP3 when I switched from iTunes.

iTunes and YouTube

I'm using foobar2000, works great, allows for metadata editing of files and works really well under wine with play on linux.

VLC.

Does what I need.

Used Audacious for a while, now trying Clementine. Need something that can sort properly, edit metadata and write to USB drives.

Rip Winamp :(

you can still get WinAmp.
Just because it's not updated, doesn't mean you can't use it
