Clementine Music Player als Linux-Alternative zu Windows Media Player
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Clementine is a solid replacement for Windows Media Player if your main focus is audio, especially local music libraries and internet radio. It handles common formats like MP3, FLAC, and MP4 audio well, and its library management is strong. However, it is not ideal for video playback—interface quirks and limited video support make it less suitable than dedicated players. If you prioritize music organization, playlists, and cloud or streaming integration, Clementine excels. But for casual users wanting simple video playback like in Windows Media Player, a tool like VLC or mpv is better.

Clementine opens most audio files that Windows Media Player handles, including MP3, FLAC, AAC, and OGG. It reads MP4 audio tracks but has inconsistent support for WMV or ASF containers. For playlists, it imports M3U, XSPF, PLS, and ASX—common formats used in WMP. However, it does not reliably play all WMP-specific video files, especially WMV. If you rely on video playback, this is a significant limitation. Transcoding helps convert unsupported files, but it's not automatic during playback.

Clementine Music Player unter Linux installieren
flatpak install flathub org.clementine_player.ClementineHäufige Fragen
Can Clementine play my old Windows Media Player playlists?
Yes, if they are in M3U, XSPF, PLS, or ASX format. Import them through File > Open Playlist. ASX support is limited, so conversion may be needed.
Does Clementine play WMV or AVI files like WMP?
It attempts to play them, but video support is weak. WMV playback is unreliable. For video, use VLC or mpv instead.
Can I transfer my music library from WMP to Clementine?
Yes. Point Clementine to the same folder where your music is stored. It will scan and index the same files WMP used.
