I had to dig to find Deadbeef, it is not mentioned in a lot of articles or music player round ups, I'm quite happy with it personally, although my needs are small, I have a big local library but it's already mostly organized and tagged, so I just needed something to play from directories which was quite hard to find actually, everything uses playlists which I don't want.

Yeah, same. It's the closest thing I've found to foobar2000 on Linux, in many ways.

Edit: TIL Fooyin exists. -> Flathub

Thanks, @greencoil@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz

I don't see anyone mentioning Fooyin, which seems to be an attempt at being an open source clone of Foobar2000, right down to its plug in system.

Its making me feel concerned. Is there a reason foobar fans aren't using it? Do they just not know about it? Its missing a few features here and there, but the UI is so 1 to 1 that I can't imagine trying to use anything else as a replacement.

The latter, I assume, as I confess I had never heard of it before you mentioned it. Now that I've checked it out, it looks very promising! Thanks for the heads-up.

It does remind me a lot of foobar, the interface builder could use a little work certainly it's a little tricky, but it works! I accidentally deleted the whole layout at first and had to rebuild it because I deleted the master container haha. It was a learning experience anyways, and now it's working great and looking how I want :)
