        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.  

        There is a thread here:  bit.ly/2M2JgnE - where players are
              discussed. 

              qmmp has been has been actively maintained since it
                first come out in 2007.

              The current release is 1.2.3 which was released July
                20th, 2018.

    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.)

The default interface for qmmp is based upon winamp, and it's setup to easily use a vast number of available winamp skins.  Some people like it, some people don't.  I prefer the simple interface, but it is fun to play with the skinned interface (winamp) from time to time.  Some are hard to read, others are not.  

I see from your next reply you found the edit/randomize, shuffle, etc.

There is also a History plugin, you might wish to activate.  In addition, there is a track actions plugin you might be interested in.

Also, of course, if you have a suggestion, request, problem etc. give the project feedback.

For further discussion about qmmp, please use the kde mailing list. 

Thanks!
