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.
