Based on this article, I currently am trying out Sayonara.

One of my core requirements is a cover view, that Sayonara has. Another one is dynamic/smart playlists, which the current stable version lacks – but the beta brings this feature!

After my first experiences with Sayonara, I am really excited! This player is so fast, looks good, has a reasoned UI layout, and is intuitive.

Will see what time brings…

In reply to John Daignault.

@John,

I suggest you go for the Linux Mint distribution, which is easy to use, up-to-date, and comfortable desktop operating system.

As I have really come to the end-cycles of Microsoft 10 with no response from them to prevent pc dumps from landfall, Together with Apple following that shameful path, I now look to keep all my Hard Earned Hardware With Saviour Linus Distros. But The Rub Is Which one to install? So I find myself Deep in researching The Various Flavours available to both machines. I Am So so glad there will be an answer to be found.

Such a shame Foobar2000 hasn’t been ported to Linux yet. :(

I have a question or suggestion. As far as I know, from using many music players over the last three decades, is that there is still no real music player in existence. Now, I’m all Linux; I sent my bill to Microsoft in 2003 that I charge to run their operating systems, but they have yet to reply or pay up, and so I cannot use their bloated cluster-f of an OS until after they do. Pay for it? What are you, nuts? :-)…

And in fact, because there has not been a real Music Player written for any computational device on Earth so far — at least that I know of, and I want to know of one badly now — someone finally tried to create one, which I have not used because it is written for Windows; it’s called REAL Shuffle Player Audio & Music Player. And it was not written by the Microsoft Corporation; they and Apple have yet to make such a program. Not even online services like Spotify can do this. I learned of this during my extensive decades-long web searches to find such a rare beast.

The main-main feature of a real music player? A true random shuffle of a playlist; any size playlist. These are computers folks; one should theoretically play every song recorded by all humanity, with ease. The main-main feature? Smart Shuffle: Prevents double play of a song!

That means that (let’s say) a one thousand song playlist, would play every song, in a true random shuffle, and it would be a technical impossibility for it to play any song twice before it played all one thousand songs. And it would store this so that if the computer is turned off, one would not lose this flow. Then, if it were set to repeat, it would start all over, rearrange that shuffle, and again, play all songs without a repeat.

As far as I know, no such program exists, and if it does, by all means, share it and demonstrate its reality with a YouTube video, and then you’d have the only video on Earth that shows this miraculous Music Player. What a really smart person should do, is create such a program, and actually sell it; I’d buy it, and I can assure you, millions of others would too! And write it for Linux first, for goodness sake!
