I think it's actually a Clementine fork, but I agree 100% that it's fantastic. I would even speak highly of the Windows build. I was really happy to use a player that supports moodbar again.

Strawberry is pretty neat, I used to use it. I tend to always go back to VLC though.
VLC is so strongly hardcoded as a video player in my mind that it always baffles me when someone uses it for playing music. I mean, I know it can handle it, it just feels... wrong.
I'm a fan of Audacious, myself. It's an XMMS1 fork and inherits a ton of functionality from that venerable app—audio file formats, effects, skins, and so on.
A few years back I had been recommended Clementine, and simply stayed with it. Recently realized Strawberry was the same idea but better and without all the annoying bugs. Can recommend!
I've not used Amarok since KDE 3.5 days, maybe I should give it a shot. I'm currently using Elisa.
It's extremely feature rich compared to Elisa
You wasn't lying. That Strawberry can feature rich.
