Cons
Con Does not support playlist files
Con Packaging
Only available through the AUR, flatpak, SlackBuilds (unofficial) and NixPkgs (unofficial).
Con Can't make app always on top
Con Very basic
By design, Pragha is a basic app without any 'bells and whistles' features. It's functional, but don't expect it to do anything over and above the minimal.
Con Collection needs to be re-updated after adding new music
Pragha is unable to automatically add new items to your music collection unless a re-scan of all files is done, even when only adding single files.
