@jonas Thank you for the informative answer! The reason I wanted to make the switch is because of a gapless playback issue with GStreamer while playing mp3 files, but I guess I will stick to it and update my library. Many thanks!

Hello. I would like to know how I could use a different engine/ backend than GStreamer, in the preferences it is grayed out, and I cannot edit the config file since it reverts back to original when I launch the player. Many thanks!
