In reply to Mangler.

agree – Sayonara is fine for audiobooks as it supports bookmarks, speed, and pitch.

Does any of these players have a "Quick sort and trash" functionality or can be modified to have one? The behavior I want ideally after activating "Quick sort and trash" mode with a button or script:

Playback of the file in playlist starts at 10-20% position. After realizing what I want to do with that file I press one of the custom sorting keys.
The player tags the file according to the configured value in settings for that custom key and jumps to the next file (to10-20% position).

If the value is "delete" then it deletes the file. Alternatively, the player has a "delete all files with a certain tag" option that can have a confirmation prompt. I thought that Cmus could be persuaded to such behavior with Autokey but it does not seem to have any file modification functionality despite being a command-line tool. Quod Libet with Autokey might work, but it requires calling up a context menu to create a tag, no hotkey possible, which makes it slow and unreliable.

Thanks for this! I was having a rough time finding a music player that had a nice GUI and could handle 100GB of mainly mp3s (with maybe a dozen FLAC albums). Clementine is working fantastically, although the web site and Facebook community haven’t been updated since v1.3/1996.

I’m surprised mpg123 didn’t make the list. It’s a terminal/console based player but unlike some that use ncurses or are a TUI, mpg123 is a command line mp3 player along the lines of aplay/play. It’s low overhead is why I like it. Simply run it by issuing: mpg123 and it plays it. You can loop the file or use wild card as in *.mp3 for all mp3 files or use a file @ for a playlist.
