Finally made the switch to Arch from Windows 10 ; _ ;
Cantata is a very good option in my opinion. And I learned recently about ymuse, which is another MPD client and could be interesting to check out. Just in case you'd like to migrate to a native alternative in the future.

Alternatives to Cantata
Hi, I wanted to start using MPD but sadly I just saw that Cantata has stopped the development. Is there any valid alternative as a qt gui client? I see that most gui alternatives are gtk based and since I'm using KDE I'd prefer a qt one. Thank you.
- What's really going on with Amarok?
- I'm considering switching from Ubuntu to Debian... Any advices?
- Good music library managers for linux?

Suggest some local music player for debian based distros
For now I stay with Cantata as it once was Kubuntu's default player: https://github.com/CDrummond/cantata (archived). Not in active development but still available in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS repos and therefore I assume also in Debian. Don't think however it has the modern looks you want.

When does abandoned software get removed from the official repos?
Unfortunately though, the Cantata repository on GitHub has been archived: https://github.com/CDrummond/cantata
