This is weirdly timely, considering I installed Feishin last week in my never-ending quest to find a music player that’s as familiar and useful to me as iTunes.
Initially I was put off at having to also install Navidrome just to be able to listen to the music I alredy have available to me, but ultimately it’s ok. And yeah, Feishin is nice. Perhaps a little ‘busy’, but compared to Strawberry it’s minimal, stripped down application. I know everyone seems to love Strawberry, but I hate it. I shouldn’t have to make a playlist in order to be able to listen to an album. Just let me press play on the sodding album!
For iTunes based music player there is also rhythmbox which is standalone (no subsonic server needed). It’s what i used until i ultimately switched to navidrome + supersonic. I’ll check out feishin since that didn’t come up in my initial search last year. Ive liked supersonic though. It has a decent, simple UI and you can play albums by clicking on them
Edit: ok feishin seems pretty cool. I might stick with this

Anyway, yeah +1 for Feishin here.

I only listen to albums (I have zero playlists) and I just double click on an album in Strawberry to listen to it.
