I would recommend you check out qmmp.  It's light weight, runs with qt5 and does what it sets out to do, which is be a flexible, lightweight music player that runs on qt5, supports skins, has many good plugins for extra features, supports tagged and folder based album covers, etc. 


That's good to know, thanks!  It does look like it could do the job for me.  I hope to continue to use clementine, if possible but qmmp looks quite solid for the basics -- at least once I got rid of that dreaded default interface.  Count me in the same category as Rex Dieter of finding it way too small and I don't know I would have found the setting buried in the plugins had you not pointed it out in that thread.  I do have to say, I like the plugin nature though.  Kind of reminds of the old firefox that was pure and small; add only the bloat you need.  I haven't tried to do any tag editing with it yet, but it appears to be there.  My biggest miss would be dynamic playlists where I could create some pretty crazy schemes for what I wanted to hear (or not hear).  I also prefer my "random" music pre-shuffled so I can see what's coming up and what's behind me.  (I honestly own so much music sometimes I don't know who just played.)

But qmmp certainly is the most solid alternative I've seen.  I tried deadbeef and juk and found them lacking too severely.  I might no't have tried qmmp had you not given me reason to give it a 2nd look since I had never been fond of the ol' xmmp days.  I'm too old, tired and cantankerous to have UIs that don't follow basic conventions unless there's extremely good reasons to do so (e.g., qcad).
