Actually, the closest thing in media library regard is Quodlibet, and its under active development.

I would agree with that, and indeed I used it for many years, were it not for it's performance. It's just atrocious under a big library. I would constantly get assaulted with what I could only assume were garbage collection pauses, the interface would constantly freeze in the most inopportune times.

It also had a pretty silly bug that went unfixed the entire time I used it where it would (rarely, triggered while moving around the playlist) say it's playing song X but in reality it's playing song Y.

What kind of storage was that library on? We have users with 100, 150k files who are largely happy.

If you can replicate this on a new release (4.4.0 was out recently), please file a bug! [1]
