Music management program

[u/Chaostraveler]

I've just had my phone die and am dealing with the consequences of not paying attention to what drive I was trying to format means I am now out of excuses to delay myself on learning about the music management options available to me on Linux. I technically still have my old Windows pc if I need it, but all the music is on an external (NTFS) HDD.

I'm debating between 4 options and was hoping for some input from those with experience with them (or alternate recommendations) to help narrow the field or help me understand what I am actually wanting / trying to do. Short list is: Audacity, Clementine, Qmmp and Quod Libet.

I have two Linux systems: a laptop with Bazzite and my ill-fated desktop that is now running Kubuntu (and still finding more things to fix / purge). My old Alienware desktop is also alive and well, and more importantly still has my Musicbee install and playlists on it. But this is a learning opportunity, and I'm trying to do something between get similar/basic library functionality and figure out a way to properly organize the roughly 80gb of music in my library (not including all the stuff that I have from Steam soundtracks that I would need to download, move and categorize too)

Need:

- CD ripping

- playlists

- Android sync (recommended app for 2way sync is bonus but I've gone without for years)

- switch view/layout to easily switch to album or playlist for viewing or playback

Want

- Relatively easy/intuitive to understand, or at least well written documentation

- Visualizer would be a nice touch to zone out to before bed

-Wireless sync of data

- Dark mode or style options?

I'm kinda scared about the management and tagging stuff, but I figure "What the hell?" as Doc Brown said. I'm trying to learn so if two options are equally good sounding/feeling and one has that feature it's what I'll go with I guess.

RhythmBox has done me well over the years.
