Doubtful. With Linux you can setup a streaming server and stream your music across different devices. You can automatically download covers and lyrics for each song and automatically organize and index your collection for search.

I did this in like 2008 already, on windows.
I remember using FooBar simply because my system had so little RAM, iTunes was off the table.
Foobar2000 was such a golden age of music discovery (mostly through piracy forums) for me in my teens, used to spend hours upon hours customising it and posting the results on Hydrogen Audio while weird and wonderful music was downloading from yousendit, rapidshare, soulseek, and megaupload. Bands I now go see live and support through bandcamp now that I'm not poor! So much more exciting and engaging than fucking Spo…

Foobar may have more customization potential, but for my preferred layout, Clementine or Amarok 1.x were comparable if not superior options.
Also back then they had this concept of an "Inbox" for new albums, which was a special playlist of newly scanned music that you then could "move" to your library. It was good for vetting new albums before the era of streaming/YouTube.
