why would you want to switch from foobar

what are your issues?

Just use the stock player from Windows 10. They wouldn't pre-install it if it were not good, would they?

>>59809016
Even though it's easy to customize in theory, it has a lot of problems with version compatibilities and it just ends up broken. It also has issues with window and track/row focus which affects the search function and the album art display.

I really like foobar, but was just wondering if there is a better alternative.

>not being a cuck.
Just get winamp 5.666 it may be discontinued, this version is secure and just perfect (the only exploit can make your winamp crash with a special FLAC file so no worries aboyt security issues). Winamp is great, but if you absolutely want an up to date version, download AIMP

don't you dare switch from foobar

>>59809054
the fuck you on about, im using a foobar version from 2008 or some shit on Windows 10

>>59809002
Use mpd + ncmpcpp

Ah you're one of those who like it cluttered with ricing components.

>>59809002
foobar is the best. i use it since so many years and every time i tried some other player i concluded its bloated shit. really no reason to find another player, SimPlaylist + Quick Search Toolbar + Waveform seekbar is all I need.

>>59809048

MusicBee.

It's like Foobar with all of the features and customization but without the ugliness or autism.

Don't try Clementine. I've been using it for a few months and it seems like it just uses more resources than necessary. I was using Foobar for a while and decided to branch out.

What I really want in a music player is to just be able to create easy playlists for each artist, with all their albums in release order. That's all I want. I just want to be able to, in the minimum possible clicks, start an album playing. I don't do mixes and very rarely listen to individual tracks.

your player is ugly and your taste is bad

I just group my music in folders and play everything with mpchc.

How about iTunes™?

I bet your 80lb 6' ass listens to this shit while crying about Trump at antifa "protests"

I'm currently using Amarok but I'm wondering if it's worth getting WINE to run MusicBee

>>59809054
Oh, so you overriced it, instead of just installing Facets and being done with it.

>anything but ncmpcpp

>>59814243
Speaking of cringeworthy music

>>59814897
I tried it again recently. It really hasn't changed much over the years so if you didn't like it then you won't like it now. After my free apple music subscription ran out I drifted away from even using it to transfer music and now just use CopyTrans to do that.

>>59809002
If you think winamp is shit, you might as well use windows media player or even itunes.

Nigga install cygwin and use ncmpcpp

>>59809002
Clementine is really nice for a basic media player.

No-nonsense, and it does everything WMP does better

>>59812967
Do you how i could put in musicbee to see the library as in my folder (like in F2k "by folder structure"). i have 2000 artists because meme compilations...

I got used to iTunes to the point that I can only perhaps use Clementine and that's about it. MusicBee for some reason is pretty fucking terrible at managing my library. After 2 hours I couldn't figure out how to make it behave similarly (tell it where music is so it could transfer it to an organized folder structure and play it from there).

>>59812052
MUSICBEE
How is this one really, is it pretty comfy?
already using doofarboofar but i still like.

best foobar alternative for linux?

>>59816698
just try it. it's easy to set up because no autism plugins. you can probably replicate your foobar setup pretty easily but it'll also feel much more consistent.

>>59812967

on linux clementine is quite okay

>>59816698
It has the foobar autism built in instead of you needing to install it yourself. Personally I think it's a convoluted and bloated piece of shit. Foobar + Facets master race

Winamp is objectively the best music player.
It's even more lightweight than foobar, doesn't have an edgy ayy lmao icon, and it just werks.

As a bonus it really whips the Lama's ass!

>>59817461
There's stuff overlaying other stuff, stark contrast so some elements look like they're part of elements that they really aren't upon a closer look, mix of transparent elements and non-transparent makes no sense in how it's done, and overall it's just far too busy.

I use Foobar myself. I just don't utterly drown it in every single plugin available like you and so many others do.

>>59817492
You've option to turn it on and off background blur transparency in whole player not to mention you can change between light and dark theme.

>>59817389
True but at least my taste in music isn't complete shit lol

>>59817650
Well sorry for not listening to your shit EDM.

>>59817693
I like electronic but I don't listen to EDM, nice rice patty package though.

>>59817693
Not sure what that guy listens to but your screenshot has anime music, dad rock, and white trash rock, so you're not doing any better.

You also have albums as playlists for some godawful reason and then you have inconsistent naming schemes for them on top of that.

>>59815097
Deadbeef with file manager plugin.
It's basically Great Value foobar2000.

I also have foobar installed in WINE but I can't be bothered to put in the effort to make it show up properly in my quicklaunch window, or to make global hotkeys work with it.

Muh rice. I just use default foobar though since I almost never look at my music player.

Clementine is good and its license is GPL. foobar was good back in the day, but it's always been closed source freeware. Pretty much every closed source freeware program on Windows turns into adware eventually. They usually try to push ads in the installer.

Your music library is a botnet virus REEEEEEEEEEEE

No joke I really like iTunes.
I'd kill for something that look exactly like iTunes but for music only without all the bloat

Just use Spotify. I've tried every player and pirating just isn't worth it anymore. Spotify has so much music and being able to sync playlists etc to the cloud is nice. It just works. Seriously. I am now a happier man because I don't have to manage music files anymore. (And I used to download terabytes from RuTracker.. also had what.CD but fuck that shit I'm not seeding you morons)

Winamp was decent a decade ago. Back then you didn't have the same options as you do today.

The skin is named DarkTEAL (it's a variant of darkRED by endeavour1934). The first pic is just the "compact player" mode.

Used foobar for years but when I tried musicbee a couple of years back the lack of autism required was refreshing. Much easier to setup the way you like.
