Have you tried Swinsian? I recently switched to it after the Music.app became mandatory and I'm very happy with it. Small indie app with a straight forward non-subscription business model that has all the best parts of the old iTunes and is very customizable.

Don't want to advertise my blog post but if you are interested there are some screenshots here after I set everything up: https://blog.notmyhostna.me/apple-ruined-itunes-what-now/

Thank you for sharing this. As a mostly lurker on HN, I appreciate such posts and reviews since they're helpful. That someone has done comparisons on the music management apps and listed those makes life easier for others. I had been disappointed with the more recent releases of iTunes, but the replacements in Catalina, from whatever I've read about them, seem far worse.

No support for ReplayGain/Soundcheck killed this for me. I hate fiddling with volume for every single track in a playlist.
