Rhythmbox with the Alternative Toolbar (created by me!) has been a staple of our distro for a very long time. It is maintained as a package by Canonical and is in the main repo.

There are no plans for Rhythmbox that I have found that state a GTK4 uplift.

Development is painfully slow.

So is there an alternative good looking music player that is well maintained in the repo?

**That’s an open question to you all.**

I’m currently thinking about swapping to lollypop - it is actively packaged by Debian. Development is on-going with regular minor point releases every few months. It is a good looking player - with development under the GNOME umbrella [Releases · World / lollypop · GitLab](https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/lollypop/-/releases)
