... By the way, Sayonara has nothing to offer over Clementine. I thought it might be something like guayadeque player maybe a little better but...haven't played that much with it but still...so far not impressed.
Have you tried lollypop?
No, I hadn't, till now. I just tried it and still like better Clementine. Lollypop seems to be kind of heavy on resources, isn't it?
Quod Libet is a nice player. 4.2 is in MX test repo
Maybe I try it to see what is like. For now it doesn't seem to be a good competitor over Clementine, at least for me.
Without each other's help there ain't no hope for us
I have built a single script to clean and update MX (using @fehlix's apttestrepo script) This script will upgrade testrepo and the stable base, plus scrub away most of the system cruff prior to running the upgrades. I have tested and my system stills seems to work. I am certain this can be massively enhanced by people more knowledgeable than me. Hopefully it provides a decent base from which to move further.

I think you might need to add "apttestrep update", before the last line, as otherwise the overlayed-packge list from apttestrepo is empty. ...
You script would then upgrade all packages which are available from testrepo as upgrade in one go.
I would rather do individual per package upgrades, to check for any issues with those packages
and report back to the package team if any.
