Looking for a good MP3 music manager is reoccurring task for me, because so far none has really convinced me, yet. After switching to a new distro recently, it was time to reevaluate the choices. Below is a list of library managers/players available through the Arch package manager.
I installed them all, tried to import my music library 1) and tested a few common tasks. The list below is not an in depth feature comparison. It's just the features/non-features that caught my attention.
All tested players have an iTunes-like artist/album/song browser. I was most interested in their last.fm integration but also had a look at other features. My album cover images are stored as a file named folder.jpg , so I checked if the tools would find and display that correctly.
