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.
