MODERATORS
I absolutely adore being able to click into and between genres and artists to get to albums and songs instantly. I want to ultimately move back to MPD, maybe Navidrome or Subsonic, but... I just love Quod Libet.
this looks like foobar2k, cool
I love that it has proper search queries: https://quodlibet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/searching.html
Do other players have this as well?
And the queries work with custom tags, which can also be added to any element of the UI. It's so good if you're ADHD about organization.
I love how I can type things like #(added < 1 week) to search for albums I recently added to my library.
