vlc sucks for music because it doesn't have gapless playback, and not everyone wants to use a streaming service.

My music player suggestions for local playback on Linux. Please note that you could pick any of these no matter the desktop environment if you do not care about consistently in look and feel. In that case I suggest to go with Strawberry.

  • On GTK environments: Rhythmbox, Exaile
  • On QT environments: Strawberry, Clementine and somewhere next year Amarok should be through its revival that KDE has announced not too long ago.

I'd add Quod Libet as another solid GTK pick, though I'm happily using it on KDE.

Quod Libet was one I tried. Doesn't quite scratch the itch MusicBee gives me, but still solid nonetheless. Tauon Music Box is a gorgeous looking player that's similar.
