show me a better looking music player, I'll wait

>>69760452
it's ugly
you have to make a playlist with your library in it just to see your library

It can play FLACs and I can customize it to my hearts content

>>69760540
Seriously why do I have to add shit to a playlist every time I want to listen to something? MusicBee's way better for me. Foobar's more customisable but I didn't feel the need to change a thing with MusicBee. What can you add to Foobar that MusicBee doesn't already have?

It does sound better than other music players if you have better audio files idk how they did it but they did plus you can customize the shit out of it

>>69760540
I like foobar because of this. It makes it so the program doesn't have to load up your entire library each time like iTunes, just your file directory. Its super quick it feels like just scrolling through stuff on your HD.

>>69760759
Digging those 123-148kbps albums.

>>69760813
acting like 123-148 kps is all I have half my library is 1411 kps

>>69760828
*kbps correcting myself there

How well does foobar handle large libraries? Like 60,000+ files

>>69760856
mine only goes up to 5,000 but with all the organization you can do with it I would assume it would do it very neatly depending on how you go about using is

>>69760856

you can customize how you want it to look, you do this by not being a brainlet and taking a few minutes to learn how to use it
also it plays all audio codecs, and can convert them, and can rip CDs, and can sinc with most devices, and people make tons of other addons for it

>>69761146
that would be great if custom skins were updated frequently and actually worked

>>69760406
I downloaded it since everyone praises the shit out of it. How the hell do I set this player up? I'm to stupid for this and just get confused.

>>69763062
do you use a mac?

Clementine has much better default layout, much better and informative file searching and all the other stuff that already exists in foobar.

It can't be riced as extensively, but who the fuck cares?

>>69763124
Clementine is also ugly as shit.

>>69763137
It's as ugly as default foobar, maybe a bit less.
I like them both because they are very functional and fast, not because they are pretty.

>>69763243
foobar doesn't gave to be ugly if you configure it right though.

>>69763252
That's true, but I don't care about it. It's not like I'm staring at the player while listening to music, I mostly just search up whatever album/songs i want to listen to, throw them into the playlist then move on with my business

>>69761142
Nice layout, how did you get that album view on the left?

>>69760406
>how
install it and pick one of the default skins
>why
it's fast because it doesn't try to do a million things i don't need it to do. it plays music. also, the playlist system is better than the unintuitive queues most media players use.

>>69763488
Clementine and Deadbeef are kind of close (you can certainly get Deadbeef to look like your foobar).

Also you can run foobar in Wine, but that's dumb.

I am on OSX so foobar and musicbee do not work
I use Google Music and how to edit meta data. however, it is just missing better sorting options..
also i can use imagus and zoom album covers in the browser

I'm pretty happy with Winamp despite it not being 2006

>>69763558
Deadbeef... I might give it a try. I've heard somewhere else it's kind of like foobar.

>>69760850
Thanks, I'd never have known what you meant if you hadn't done so

>>69763558
I've tried just about every single player out there, they don't come close. I use Clementine, but don't particularly love it. I tried Deadbeef several months ago and had a few problems with their rolling version, maybe I'll give it another go.

>using anything but mpd+ncmpcpp

>>69764066
I'd actually like to hear in which way they don't come close to you. For me Foobar and Clementine are pretty much interchangeable, apart from ricing, which I don't care for.

>>69764162
Way too much euphoric for me. However, foobar is more simple and that's what I want from a music player

>>69763473
i just use the "sort as" field in iTunes to group all the aliases of a given artist or group under the most recognizable alias. so here i just sort anything Moritz and Mark do together as Basic Channel

this is my foobar folder, when you start foobar you'll need to update the music folder location also in the DSPs I set up a dolby surround plugin for my headphones, you can remove them if it soujnds shitty on your speakers or whatever.

Unless you're a retard who doesn't know how to format it's by far the best music player

>>69769010
Is it like an in-between for Itunes and Foobar?
The only thing that could make me switch from Foobar is a better rice and plugin system.
