Wow, that brings back memories! foobar2000 was my go to player. I used to spend hours curating all my folders with albums and playlists. Funny how fast I switched to a streaming platform when they became widely available around here.

It is still my go to player, it works great in Windows 10.

I've been using VLC for Linux and mobile mp3s haven't tried FLAC though

It's my go-to in macOS 14.5 as well. I tolerate using Spotify as a player for it's library. A plain list is all I actually want 99% of the time.

That's a funny name considering it was the Winamp creator's nickname and Foobar2000 itself is a Winamp clone.

xmms was my go to back in the day for Linux. Hard to beat the small, unobtrusive WinAmp interface and skin support. Now I use Audacious as it still supports WinAmp skins and interface. It's really hard to beat.

I haven't consumed audio and video from files for a while now. Streaming has become so convenient (partly because of internet prices and availability) that I don't see myself coming back.
