    Agreed. It is my player of choice, though being it is pure Python, it uses a lot of resources for a music player. If I was tight on ram or using a slower CPU, I’d probably go with something leaner.

      What a strange take. When I first switched to Linux in ~2009 I tried a ton of other players. Weirdly, Quod Libet was the only performant option back then. Amarok, Rhythmbox, Banshee, Clementine, etc all chugged to load my library with their UIs freezing for upwards of half an hour before I had something usable. Quod Libet just worked.

      Right now it’s using 598MB with a music library of ~31K songs.
