wine + mingw cross compiler = native Windows apps development on Linux. I still couldn't find how to do the reverse without VM.... update Just found coLinux. seems to be stagnant, though.
Out of curiosity, how do you test your builds?

> It's generally the more complex and cutting-edge stuff that makes use of newer pieces of .NET, DirectX, or rarely-used components of obscure APIs that WINE struggles with. Yeah, this is why Wine tends to use the "get the application to work" method. Thankfully a lotta the guys at Codeweavers are gamers who want their stuff to work too ;-) .NET is a friggin' nightmare IME, even after you've installed over half a gig…
Net should get better over time with native Linux support no?
Only for the new versions, I assume.

Not the GP, but DeaDBeeF is a really good and extendable (by plugins) audio player. I myself switched from foobar2000 years ago and there isn't much that I miss. I'm not sure whether there is the pattern matching feature (or a plugin), but I think it may be achieved using the Shellexec plugin and some scripting.
DeaDBeeF is great - I'm one of the developers - but there's still a lot to do before we come to feature parity with foobar2000 and have the same quality. E.g. an often requested feature which is still missing is a media library, with a proper query language so you can do stuff like: %genre% HAS progressive AND %added% DURING LAST 4 WEEKS
Store the metadata in SQLite and expose the SQL SELECT interface.

#44Wine is a godsend for the still very lackluster linux desktop experience. I just started listening to music locally rather than relying on streaming music again. I used to do curate my music on Windows with MP3Tag, which lets you import data from 3rd party services, has an amazingly fast and efficient UI, and lets you quickly batch rename files based on their tags. I looked at all the Linux alternatives and none of t…
As your handle is "wineisgreat", I assume your know your shit! :D

SSH + Windows Subsystem for Linux.
Or if you can spare around 500MB of disk space, Visual Studio 2017 + Linux Application Development Workload (selectable during the installation). Works awesome. Can work with Windows Subsystem for Linux, a Linux VM, a physical Linux machine, a Linux box on the network, Azure, AWS, Google Cloud etc.

Amarok? Have you tried that one?
In case you're being serious, Amarok is highly unstable, bloated ("unresponsive UI"/"high CPU"), is a great academic example of extremely bad usability, and doesn't even want to start trying to compete feature-wise with foobar.

Yes, we already discussed that at some point but we haven't decided yet how to implement it. We don't like how most players perform which use SQLite as their database backend, but we do like how foobar2000 performs with its custom database and ~100,000 tracks with arbitrary tag fields. Maybe others who use SQLite do something wrong, maybe SQLite isn't the right tool for the job and maybe there's a third option worth considering. Once we get some time and motivation to build some prototypes we'll hopefully find that out.

Have a look at gmusicbrowser. You might be surprised. I also used to use foobar2000 on windows... years ago...

Amarok has been horrible since they redesigned it for version 2/ kde 4. Amarok 1.4 was the best music player I've seen and, I believe, one of the inspirations for foobar2000
