I would recommend you check out qmmp. It's light weight, runs with qt5 and does what it sets out to do, which is be a flexible, lightweight music player that runs on qt5, supports skins, has many good plugins for extra features, supports tagged and folder based album covers, etc.
There is a thread here: bit.ly/2M2JgnE - where players are discussed.
That's good to know, thanks! It does look like it could do the job for me. I hope to continue to use clementine, if possible but qmmp looks quite solid for the basics -- at least once I got rid of that dreaded default interface. Count me in the same category as Rex Dieter of finding it way too small and I don't know I would have found the setting buried in the plugins had you not pointed it out in that thread. I do have to say, I like the plugin nature though. Kind of reminds of the old firefox that was pure and small; add only the bloat you need. I haven't tried to do any tag editing with it yet, but it appears to be there. My biggest miss would be dynamic playlists where I could create some pretty crazy schemes for what I wanted to hear (or not hear). I also prefer my "random" music pre-shuffled so I can see what's coming up and what's behind me. (I honestly own so much music sometimes I don't know who just played.)
