    Takes long time to set it up not to look awful and be usable. Barely usable out of the box. Absence of built-in album art grid for browsing library is huge disadvantage for me. Can be added with some extensions tho. With time you can make it look really how you want and it is fast too

    Way too ugly, it's more of a music player, a very capable, but not a music manager.

    Not as intuitive or cleanly built. Functions okay, and may very well be functional for what you require, but lacks any music collection management as noted previously. I'm not the hugest fan.

    One of my favorite music players in Linux and a great alternative to MusicBee. Unfortunately, it doesn't work so well with Windows, but that's what MusicBee is for.

    Comes very barebones, so no playlist or library management or minimize to taskbar by default, but all these features and more can be found as official plugins and attached to the main player through modular placement features.

    A+ for Linux, C for Windows (long startup time, very unresponsive when opening the window from taskbar).

    this software doesn't keep your music library organized at all which is the main reason why people use musicbee over just a plain music player

    Very elegant like MusicBee is, however it lacks key library management features (tagging, automatic file organizing, etc.) to work for my case

    Unfortunately on Linux there isn't really a great single solution to everything MusicBee does, but Tauon manages the playing of files, gapless playback of FLAC, mini player, and last.fm scrobbling end of things, and offers a convenient workflow with MusicBrainz Picard to handle the library management.

    Lollypop may be a really clean and pretty interface piece of software, but compared to MusicBee, it lacks of more library-specific functionalities like path-driven organization, a lot of more filters for smart playlists, a more customizable interface (and well, MusicBee is one of the most customizable players I've ever seen).
