    Flac is a low bar for any music player though. I don’t know whether itunes support it yet, don’t care.

    I’m sure Rhythmbox works well for you and that is great. But I also need some niche features which might not be in it.

    Mostly conversion and forensic thing.
    ape tak tta format, bit compare, audio checksum, mass-tag/batch-tag, replaygain, custom playlist columns, statistic driven field. Don’t know what else until I try and find it’s missing.

    I’m also sure I can get all those and more in different cli tool if I want but getting them in one software is very convenient.

    After a quick look, DeaDBeeF might have most of what I want.

    • Sort and group the tracks in any order you wish, using advanced Title Formatting scripting, compatible with Foobar2000

    Got the date wrong, last time I tried it was 2018. Lot of new features added since then.

      It’s fair to want all the features you already have. In my experience though, the move to Linux is about figuring it out. You don’t want to use a bunch of cli stuff, also fair. I’m just saying there’s practically no unsolved problem if you just commit to the switch. Typically someone already wrote an app or script to do whatever it is.

      Sadly because I have an Nvidia card I have gaming issues that keep cropping up, and my experience running Adobe apps via wine is that sometimes they are unbearably slow, otherwise all the other niche requirements I have were met by Ubuntu variants. And I learned a lot in the process.
