We are in total gridlock and analysis paralysis in deciding which one of the many to use! To wit I hope in any article introducing anew one to address that question … what is the raison d’etre for this player, what is the underlying ethos of the development team that saw them start a new play rather than go with, well in the Python world, Quod Libet, Lollypop or Mopidy? Do we really need to bathe in options or could we not pool our collective efforts and build the music player to beat all music players?
