I just checked and VLC has a setting to pause at the end of each
track (Preferences -> Interface -> Pause on last frame of
video) and when set it does exactly that. You start the next track
by just clicking the next track button and away it goes till it hits
the end of that track. I don't see any fancy internal play list
handing stuff, but you can create and save play lists and when you
load a new play list it's appended to the current play list.<br>
The interface can also to customized/dumbed down for what you need.
I'm not sure if it will fill your needs, but it seems to check a lot
of the boxes you wanted checked.<br>

<div class="">(I have migrated from my Mac Mini because it’s
vintage 2009, out of support. I looked for a newer Mac Mini but
the newest model is five years old. I went to Linux because I
don’t trust Apple or Microsoft not to jerk us around, and I want
to have a pretty stable 10-year solution. Of course it was
cheaper too, but that wasn’t the main issue.<br class="">

<div class=""><b class="">Clementine is very popular and has

documentation except lots of discussions, mostly about
features that aren’t important to me. There’s one “full
discussion” that should be part of the installation but I
don’t see it. I’ll keep digging through these conversations.</div>

<div class=""><b class="">I tried Rhythmbox,</b> but it kept
freezing on me. Apparently that’s a known problem.</div>
<div class="">Rhythmbox apparently has no way to stop after
a song if other songs are inline, so that was another
deal-breaker.</div>
<div class="">But I can thank Rhythmbox for leading me to an
iTunes playlist converter. No other music players seem
ready to import playlist data. Rhythmbox imported it
initially but I had to bail due to freezes. But I still
have that conversion file, and was able to produce a nice
text file that we can search for history. (Newer versions
of iTunes <i class="">do not produce</i> XML conversion
data, but mine was a little older so the file was there.)</div>

Clementine are:</b></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><b class="">It says X-ing a tab for a saved
playlist will delete the playlist because it’s not a
“Favorite,” but doesn’t tell us <u class="">how to make
it a favorite</u>.</b> The red heart at the bottom
doesn’t do it. These are saved files. Our first attempt
saved a playlist that we can hide without deleting, even
though I see no indicator that it is a “favorite,” but the
next two are “not a favorite”. I’ll continue to read all
discussions I can find.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><b class="">We can only mark <i class="">one</i>
song at a time to stop at the end.</b> Once it stops after
a song, that flag is removed. So their whole concept of a
playlist is start it and it plays through. I’d like to mark
a whole playlist to stop at the end of a song. This problem
is liveable.</div>
