It's great that finally someones develops a more modern Qt music player, but it will be a long time until it can replace players like Clementine.
Elisa is completely unusable on HiDPI displays or any system with increased font DPI. The size of the album cover images in the list is not adjustable.

very nice! but i also like cmus player. which got all the features and also you can control it over kde's media witdget...

It's good to have another Music player, but I somehow dislike the design. The big header wastes a lot of space for no added function. And on other form factors I guess it will look just even worse. Hopefully HiDPI will look ok in the near future.

Any mpris capable player can do it.

I am *very* happy with DeaDBeeF music player! Does everything I need, small , gets out of your way, plays music and nothing more! PERFECT! If anyone knows foobar2000 on Windows then DeaDBeeF is as close as it gets - plus it has a sane default user interface. Actually it looks the way I used to configure foobar2000 when I was stupid enough to use Windows as my daily driver...

I am Amarok thy music player; thou shalt have no other music players before Me.

I'm with audacious mostly for audio, but the development goals ( https://community.kde.org/Elisa -> goals) do sound reasonable. I shall give it a try.

I use DeaDBeeF too on Linux. It's a great replacement of Foobar2000 which I use on Windows.
I really like the simple interface.

I really like where things are going with elisa!
Not quite ready for a daily driver for me, though :/
DeaDBeeF seems like something to try out ^^
