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.
If you use QMK you’re in luck.
