Just like Rhythmbox, Clementine has the annoying habit of [[Mint_Linux_Distribution_Reference#Disable_Annoying_Sound_Menu_Integration|Sound Menu Integration]] on some distros like Ubuntu and Mint. Clementine is often recommended to users looking for software to create smart and dynamic playlists. It handles tabbed playlists, import and export as M3U, XSPF, PLS, ASX and Cue sheets. Besides the annoying sound menu integration, Clementine uses up to twice the CPU than VLC and takes up about 180 MB of memory, plus additional memory for spawned processes (tag-readers), while VLC uses 80 MB with no other processes. It comes with many Internet radio channels and plugins that are not removable, however they can be disabled. note: It is not necessary to add the repository in Mint 18.
