So far, I've tried:
Vox: incredibly, almost ridiculously barebones interface, with next to zero information aside from rudimentary track and artist info.
Clementine: crashes several times a day, tiny fonts, and again, almost no track information (file type, song length etc.)
QuodLibet: incredibly slow, crashes occasionally (although I rarely use it)
Kodi: it can only be used in full screen, rendering it all but unusable with a single monitor.
Foobar: crashes constantly, zero track information aside from song/artist, and it doesn't even list this basic info for hundreds if not thousands of tracks
VLC: it can't load my iTunes library without crashing. Sounds great playing specific files however.
Itunes is superior by far to the software listed above, but it can't play Flac and I have many thousands of Flac files. Also, and it could very well be placebo, but vlc, clementine and quodlibet SOUND fantastic and iTunes seems to lag in this most critical of areas.
I used to be able to load my iTunes library with previous versions of vlc but no longer.
