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.

I can name maybe a dozen that do all that foobar2000 does Do it. Be sure to show how the mass tagger works in each one of them. Especially the pattern matching to extract data from filenames, I really like that feature.
To me, listening to and tagging music seem to be two rather orthogonal problems. There are very good tagging applications that don't actually play the files. My current favorite definitely is beets ( http://beets.io/ ), although it may take some minutes to set up (at least if you want the hashing feature where the audio itself is used to look up metadata). Another (rather old) Windows-Application that was very useful…

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
Wine 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 for foobar2000... I think nothing on any other platform replaces it, even on windows. You could try quodlibet which has tons of features, but it isn't as fast when dealing with hundreds of thosands of songs on a music library and only supports gstreamer as a decoder (which i think sucks). But it has a good interface, multiple ways of displaying your library, proper tag support (instead of just fully supporting a few tags for sorting and stuff).
In my setup I end up selecting audacious as the default player, which has a lot of similarities to winamp and some with foobar, but audacious sucks for music libraries. Instead, I keep quodlibet for that task.
When I open a random file from the internet or from the file browser, audacious steps in with it's great audio format support, simple and fast interface. When I want to include a song or an album into my collection, it goes trough Musicbrainz picard, then properly installed in the music library directory hierarchy and finally it's available in quodlibet.
What people use Mono for on Wine, which is mentioned in release notes?

Would this be for running 16 bit programs on 64 bit Windows, or is there another use case I'm not thinking of?
There are quite a few older Win32 games that won't run on modern Windows systems despite the built-in compatibility modes.
