I have been using Audacious for my music playlists pretty much exclusively for a long time.
However, I notice that as of recent, support for Audacious has been getting slower and slower. I still love the app, but figured it was time to look for something with more support.
My needs in a Music Player are very simple and plain. I do not like invasive behaviors - Such as offering me endless suggestions on streaming, podcasts, etc. This discounted many, like Rhymthbox, from consideration.
I narrowed it down to Exaile and Ex Falso - both of which are nearly even keel for me. Both manage multiple playlists, are easy to use, simple in design and less invasive.
In the end, I kept both, but put Exaile on the panel launcher and use it most of the time. Exaile surprised me, as I had assumed, given its age, that this was an abandoned or slow project. Not at all, it is very up to speed.
I am also giving yet another try to Vivaldi Browser... It now comes with a tour. I have High Hopes that the vivaldi.bin memory hogging that actually damaged Zorin OS on three separate machines is a thing of the past...
Vivaldi will have great difficulty earning any trust back from me... But part of its appeal is greater ease in de-googling the chrome with more thoroughness and the best customization of any browser.

As you already know I've been using Vivaldi on Zorin since the very beginning and have zero problems with it except one time when my passwords disappeared from my saved location and I had to install them again .... the download feature works flawless and dumps everything into my downloads folder as it should ....
I chose the middle of the three installs as the first one is minimum and the last way to many bells and whistles for me .... used it on Windows 10 for several years after Opera was sold .... some of Opera developers started up Vivaldi ....
Going to take a look at Exaile and Ex Falso and see what's up .... I usually play Smooth Jazz or Blues music but not so often on my laptop .... maybe I should try it .... they claim "Music Soothes the Savage Beast" .... so we'll see ..... 
By the way where did yiu get those music apps ???? I know you don't like the software store .... Synaptic ????
I pretty much install everything from terminal or source... I only use Synaptic very rarely - to remove something extensive.
Exaile
