Foobar is one of the greatest pieces of software ever and Linux music software only dreams it can be as good as Foobar.
I really like music player daemon on Linux. Is foobar actually superior at reproducing sound?
Anyone know why there's never been a linux version?
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…
oink and what.cd. Ahh, the memories.

The result of decoding music files is deterministic and well defined, so essentially: they will all sound the same, unless one of them is screwing something up. Some may handle sample rate conversion better than others. Foobar's FAQ says as much: https://www.foobar2000.org/FAQ
Not sure about linux, but on windows, macos, android difference is huge if you have some good DAC & headphones

I love foobar. Are there any alternative programs that are similar to Foobar2000 on Linux?
Gonna install wine and foobar again sometime in the coming days anyways. this one won't even let me edit the date field as YYYYMMDD, apparently it's an invalid format, and I use it for sorting..

Yet another rewrite project that went nowhere, if I remember correctly. Or was that waffles.fm? I'm probably confusing the two. edit: ok I did confuse them, see reply
You're thinking waffles.fm -- what.cd was seized by authorities. waffles didn't even come close to the glory of what.cd

I've used Linux as a desktop since 2013 and to this day I still use foobar2000 as my music player under wine because I've never found anything better.
