Pros

It might be easier to say what Clementine cannot do as a music player and library organizer; its features are extensive and omnidirectional, providing a fantastic user experience and an unlimited access to live music streaming. You can search and play your local music, or listen to Internet radio from a large number of radio stations from Spotify to Jamendo, Jazz Radio and SomaFM and many more. You can also listen to the music you have uploaded to your Dropbox, SkyDrive, GoogleDrive and Ubuntu One. Creating playlists is easy, and you can customize them, create dynamic playlists, as well as import or export M3U, XSPF, PLS and ASX playlists.

Clementine supports playing audio CDs, as well as displaying lyrics and artists information and photos, and tagging MP3 and OGG files to organize your music library. It can transcode music into MP3, FLAC and AAC, as well as several more popular formats. With Clementine, you can download podcasts, missing album covers, missing tags and more. It can create queues and copy music to a USB player, iPod and iPhone. You can control Clementine using your Android device, a Wii remote, command line or MPRIS.

Clementine is a comprehensive, lightweight and fast music player that supports cross platform devices – Windows, Mac OS and Linux. It did not crash, stop, freeze or overload the system during our test. In addition, it doesn't have any adware and bundles and comes free of charge. The interface is friendly, beautiful and modern, which is good for novice users, but as well smart and powerful which will appeal to advanced users.
