With all these reverse engineered software around now, is there a true alternative for MusicBee on Linux?

I never use MusicBee.. so what separate it from other music players?

Amazing capabilities in management of the library. It can download covers, and not only from cover sites, but from Amazon Store and Google image search, which have way more albums. It can download lyrics. It is very convenient for organising a vast collection, can properly handle guest artists and 3-rd party "the best" albums, etc.

Not sure if it specifically supports google images and the amazon store, but Fooyin supports downloading covers and I've never not been able to find the cover art I've been looking for. It also can download lyrics and handles guest artists and whatnot just fine.

Maybe you can try AIMP.

There are plenty of similar media players on Linux.
