The thing you often hear people say (type?) on the internet is that the only reason they can't give up their Windows install is because of games. For me, it's games and music. This article only reinforces my perception that there's no good music players on Linux. I've looked extensively (admittedly this was a while ago). I find it curious when you see people, and there's evidence in this thread, of recommending this music player or that music player on Linux.
They're ALL mediocre to bad, not one of them comes anywhere close to Media Monkey (my preferred) or Foobar2000.
I watched the video of the speed improvements on the guy's machine, it's a fairly impressive speed bump and kudos to him for putting in the effort. But even after the fix, the speed was unacceptable. Like someone else in the thread has already said, why the UI locks just to load album art is a head scratcher (mind you, I'm baffled by anyone who loads into album art view anyway, but I have ~250GB of mostly flac, I like just a list view).
