Exaile is out as an option for the foreseeable future as Debian remains in "Hard Freeze" until bullseye releases. I don't think we want to carry a delta in Ubuntu by having it as an Ubuntu-specific package. Depending upon how long Debian's freeze takes we could end up carrying that delta for some time. Pragha looks interesting and I may install it on the bare metal box I just installed Impish on to test. I'll probably download some 78 RPM record tracks from the Internet Archive to use for playback testing. The Stamps-Baxter Quartet would work nicely, I think. Rhythmbox is old faithful. Worst comes to worst we can bring it back. It would at least get the job done. That's the most feedback I can offer at this hour.
