    Great alternative, don't hesitate to go through the plugins since it's a goldmine, also the possibilty to switch theme easily, use the waveform sound bar and the cover panel with the songs as sidebar is great ! Works perfectly with debian 10 and eOS 5.1.7.

    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).
