vlc vs mplayer vs mpv vs other?

[juha]

I used to use

vlc -Z *

Looks like VLC has issues upstream so tried

mplayer -shuffle *

Not too happy there or with gmplayer either

So have settled on

mpv --shuffle *

Main gripe was trying to forward to the next song/video

What are some other alternatives I wonder?

Try audio/cmus. The software has a decent man page.
