The Clementine Music Player is an up and coming application that could replace your default music app. It is a close cousin to Amarok with just enough of its own personality to make it stand apart from the crowd. On any computing platform today, users have ample choices of music players. Most of these music player apps have a common look and feel. Some simply play your playlists. Others mix in playback and music management enhancements. Ultimately what makes you decide on a favorite player is the user experience first and the feature list second.
Clementine was designed by geeks for geeks. If you are actually a working musician and want to hear music, forget it. The designers know as much about application design as a cat knows about parasite.
I have tried many Music players on my Linux machines and find Clementine to be the best for me. I have found others to be choppy when playing, almost like a skip on old vinyl. Clementine is smooth, highly customizable and never misses a best. My favorite by far.
For me the best thing Clementine does is allow me to select and play dance music almost automatically from a pool of over 4000 tracks!
Smart playlists allow me to set up Boolean selection criteria for my music via the "Comments" and "Genres" fields. Finding the best musical fit in any DJ situation then becomes a matter of choosing from a short sorted list, instead of a frantic search through possibly hundreds of titles.
