foobar is good, but its hard to compete with musicbee. if musicbee changed their name and icon i feel like people would treat it better than foobar

I use both
MusicBee to automatically organise my music folder
Foobar for the rest

If Foobar can do the organising, can someone please explain me how

I'd choose MusicBee if it did have a better remote app though

Wow Musicbee looks cool.

I remember back when I switched from itunes to foobar, though, /mu/ was all like "just switch dude it's fucking simple," and setting up foobar and getting everything right ended up taking a whole Saturday, and for a day or two my whole library was all fucked up with incorrect tags and lost album art.

Am I in for a similar kind of experience if I switch to MusicBee? You know, browsing themes, learning the interface, reading forums, messing with the code and accidentally screwing the whole thing up, etc.?

>>70346892
both are fine, but Musicbee feels slow and bloated to me and kept getting random errors on startup and crashing. oh, and its syncing function is hot garbage that crashes half the time too. recently got sick of it and switched to Foobar with a premade theme since I couldn't be assed to mess with it myself and so far it feels way better.

I like foobar because I can have a minimalist setup.

>Auto shutdown system (if you wanna fall asleep to an album)
Thanks, I had no idea! I've been putting my pc into power saving mode before going to sleep for years so it goes into standby eventually.... I didn't know you can make it shut off

>>70347174
Foobar because it doesnt have all the bloatware mentioned in this post.

>>70347585
yeah man, you can set your computer to sleep, log off or shut down as soon as an album or playlist is finished. such a great mechanic, i use it constantly

to use it click Musicbee > File > Auto Shutdown

>>70347652
not to mention it can be added with plugins if you want it anyway

>>70347652
you can disable all of these features, and even with all the plugins enabled it dosent bloat the program in any way

>>70347446
not at all, musicbee wont do that. foobar fucked up my library too, just make the switch man

are there any good alternatives on linux?

oh my, that's a lot of work

musicbee for me, but i would switch to foobar2k when i get how to into customization.
i've got one question for foobarfags: I have a lot of genres as seen on pic related. Is there a way to folder up these in foobar (like into rock= hard rock, post-rock; ambient= dark ambient; ambient techno and so on) to save up some space and allow easier searching?

Anyone know how to sort by recently added on Musicbee?

Cantanta. Its UI is pretty slick and I prefer the mpd model of music player over anything else.

>>70351925
It has lastfm integration, automatic album cover downloading, stream/webradio playback and through mpd has other features such as streaming audio to networks. The mpd server can be controlled with a mobile app (so with the streams, I can stream audio to an rpi downstairs from my desktop, controlled by a mobile phone)

You need to listen to more music.
I ditched Spotify in favour of Musicbee when i had like 50 playlists for albums that weren't on spotify.

>>70352580
Name FIVE (5) (fuenf) (V) ESSENTIAL albums not on Spotify without resorting to turbohipster bullshit like ItCotCK

But itcotck is one of the most accesible /mu/core albums and classic dadprog.
Do you only listen to top 40 and entry level /mu/core?

(You) first.

>>70347563
Musicbee searches the internet for cover art too bud

>>70352692
I see that they added a bunch of stuff, but still:
Boris - Flood
Tool - Lateralus
Codeine - Frigid Stars
Talk Talk - Laughing Stock
Geath Grips - Exmilitary
Joanna Newsom - Divers
Fishmans - Long Season
Midori - Aratememashite something something
any King Crimson album

and that's just the essential sub /mu/core shit

>>70347174
Lemme guess, that 1959 album is Kind of Blue.
