Solarmass The only thing you don't get is drag and drop, they even have rudimentary mouse support. With mpd+ncmpcpp, my typical usage is hitting ~ to add random (songs), 150 (enter), and then removing songs with the hotkey (I usually bind it with x) to make the random mix even better. With cmus, I usually listen to albums, but you can create playlists by adding a song with "y", shuffle is toggleable with a hotkey (s), playlists are a thing. It's not only minimal and geeky but also very functional. It even has Budgie/GNOME integration via mpris, so you can pause/etc with the gui. I encourage you to try it out if it interests you, but there's nothing wrong with a gui player. One limitation with cmus in particular is it tends to encourage you to listen to artists/albums rather than a queue, but you can use the playlist functionality to do that.
