Quodlibet is the one with all the features.

Agreed. It is my player of choice, though being it is pure Python, it uses a lot of resources for a music player. If I was tight on ram or using a slower CPU, I'd probably go with something leaner.

I absolutely adore being able to click into and between genres and artists to get to albums and songs instantly. I want to ultimately move back to MPD, maybe Navidrome or Subsonic, but... I just love Quod Libet.

I love that it has proper search queries: https://quodlibet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/searching.html
Do other players have this as well?

i've always been a "organize everything at the file system level, and just play folders on demand in winamp" type guy... so when i couldn't find a good winamp replacement after switching to linux, i ended up on quod libet and got used to organizing everything via tagging

quod libet was a bit overwhelming at first and forced me to fix a lot of broken tags, but totally worth it.
