I tried Musikcube a week ago and it's pretty good aside from that, though once it crashed for some reason. Looks more polished than most TUI applications, though. Nothing can replace Clementine for me. It can stop playback automatically once a song is finished playing. Imho this is the best feature since the invention of playlists and I don't know why nobody else implements this (except for I think foobar2000 but tha…

Audacious has that on the Playback menu or ctrl+m, there's also a No Playlist Advance mode.

I haven't found out how to stop it popping up an error when trying to play deleted/unsupported files, if anyone knows?

> It's an old school playlist management feature from the Amarok Era, it's for when you're thinking "this is the last song I'm listening to, but I do want to finish it". Once that song gets hit in your playlist, it'll automatically stop playback at the end of it. That's just the "play once" option that exists in 99% of music player's, isn't it? Supported by all default music players on Windows, macOS, Android and iOS…

What I mean is basically like a delayed "pause" button that triggers once the currently playing song ends. It can be set during playback and doesn't affect any other playback setting or queued songs. The alternative is either abruptly stopping playback or staring at the progress bar and waiting a couple minutes for the right moment to click a button. In other words, it's one of those simple but tedious things you'd w…

I'm still not seeing a difference.

If for example I'm playing a playlist from... Any player, but let's say YouTube Music. I hit the repeat button until it sets to "Repeat Once", it will play to the end of the song and then stop.

It won't effect the queue or playback in any other way.

Been using this as my music player for about 3 years now (i've switched to it from foobar2000). It has very low memory footprint and works great. This is the app that "showed" me how great TUI apps are and i wish more TUI apps would exist as equivalent to GUI ones.

I expect you'd want accurate tagging for this to work well (less of a problem these days I guess). My prime reason for sticking with foobar is the option for tree-view playlists and auto-generating playlists from compressed archives.
