Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Simple clean and minimal interface
Pro Open source
Pro UI design consistent with GNOME desktop environment
Gnome Music is GNOME's default music player. If you use GNOME Desktop Environment, you'll feel familiar with other GNOME Apps like this one.
Pro Stable
Pro System-wide music organizer
Gnome Music automatically seeks and organises your music files throughout your system using Tracker.
Pro Open source (FOSS)
LGPL licensed.
Pro KDE/Qt-based
Looks great, uses known KDE/Qt controls and integrates with the KDE Plasma desktop (including KDE Connect, MPRIS Controls, KRunner and native notifications).
Pro Convergent
Can be used across platforms on desktop (Linux), Android and Plasma Mobile (Kirigami-based).
Pro Online streaming
You can use it to stream music. It also integrates youtube-dl. It can use your offline music to let you discover new online stream media.
Cons
Con Cannot change library folder
Con Too Simplistic
It works as a simple music player with a GNOME look, but it has very few features and almost no configuration options. Too bad.
Con Buggy
Gnome Music needs a tracker daemon running in the background and that thing never loads the music. It takes forever for a huge library to be loaded even if it was previously partially loaded.
Con Unstable on Wayland
If you even attempt to resize the program, it'll hang indefinitely.
