Used VLC for a long time, because it was the only player that sorted my files the correct way (I buy from Bandcamp and fill in the metadata with a script, as for some reason Bandcamp puts all the information into the filename but not into the metadata…). The UI of VLC is not very good and it really got on my nerves that it saved the playback point on longer songs, so I had to manually replay the song to have it from the beginning.
After trying many players I finally found Phocid, that had an advanced metadata extraction setting, and with it also indexed my songs right.
Overall I find it a very nicely done player, does what it should and nothing more. The sound quality is good, the UI is clean and I find it lovely to see the programming behind it, in little things as as an example the already listened songs get a negative index in the array.
Mine is Phocid.

Yes, that’s very good.
