I’m looking for a music player on Pop!_OS that supports playlists, repeating a single track while still being able to swap tracks in the playlist, and also supports fading between songs and when stopping playback. And ideas on what to try?

So far I’ve tried VLC, Audacious, and Rhythmbox, but none of those seem to support all of those requirements. (Rhythmbox was close but the repeat one from the toolbar plugin doesn’t work.)

Edit: Got it working in Rhythmbox after toggling the repeat options a few more times. Still curious if there are other options out there though.

    The Nullobsi fork of Cantata or many other mpd-backed music players are something I can recommend seems to fit what you’re looking for. It supports being able to edit the play queue whilst running a single-track on repeat within it. It does also support fade out and crossfade. The easiest way to obtain it is via its flatpak on Flathub. Cantata can either run an integrated or connect to a system-level mpd server for its backend.
