Lollypop is actually a GTK3 app (it looks pretty dated on my mostly GKT4 GNOME setup) and it's imo still the best GNOME music app. I'm honestly suprised they say Lollypop's UX sucks but then praise RecordBox's because I can't stand RecordBox (why make me double click to play a song* and don't get me started on the Artist+Album view). Also surprised Gapless didn't get mentioned here, I think this is actually pretty decent though its queue system could use work.

*The dev says this choice is so you can select songs and instead you should use the little play button next on the right side of all playable entries.
