#2I still have yet to find a music player that covers all my bases like Winamp did for so many years. Anyone have recommendations for Linux? Short of running Foobar via WINE, every player I've tried seems to be missing one feature or another.

Agreed. I've tried several on Ubuntu and they all fall short.

Quodlibet seems fairly close to "cross-plattform foobar2000" (depending on what exactly is important to you of course)

Maybe Banshee. It meets all of my needs. It's a little heavier than I would like, but it seems to work flawlessly for me.

You really should have written:

(I feel like I should apologise for such a low-effort comment, but .. That phrase is the first thing that comes to mind when I remember WinAmp, and if you're going to make a one-line "praise" comment about Winamp it's the only one you should need!)

#10Personally I really miss the visualization scripting tool it had built in. Now that was really fun.
