Recently switched to Linux and have been looking for alternatives for Musicbee, which I used for ages in Windows. I guess I could make it work with Wine but thought I'd ask here for suggestions first. Features I'm looking for are not a lot to ask IMO:

Music folder can be anywhere, not only ~/Music
In the list of songs by a given artist, I can sort by album year, but the tracks within each album stay in the correct order
The player remembers where I left off the next time I open it

I'm using Rhythmbox and it's great but unfortunately it doesn't do #3 (if I missed some setting let me know please).

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Best options from the comments were Strawberry and Quod Libet. I think I'll go with Quod Libet. Thanks all for the suggestions.

I use Gapless. it's pretty simple, but i mostly use it because it doesn't look like absolute buns. i think it has what you want.

I've seen Strawberry mentioned a lot but I'm definitely not a fan of its looks haha. Gapless on the other hand looks pretty sleek. It's a bit less intuitive perhaps but I might give it a shot
