From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Very cool! Still early, so ran into some bugs:

  • Buggy playback on some files. Would either not play or play back glitched. Using Pipewire plugin.
  • Inconsistent vert/hori split behavior. Not sure I completely understand what I was doing wrong, but when editing the layout sometimes a split would open to the right of the widget area I was trying to split.

Anyway, I like that Foobar can group albums next to their cover art in a playlist. Made visually scrolling through a large playlist much more interesting IMO, and fooyin does it well! Now to see if I can tweak the size of them.

I'm looking forward to it. A good directory browser is important, however I'm surprised to learn that most other players don't have it

The best music player on Linux is still foobar2000 in WINE, so I will definitely be trying this out.

This looks promising. I always yearned for Foobar2000 to be on Linux natively.

However layout editor part is quite confusing (adding widgets seem to add them not where I want them at), and I couldn't get it to play any music, as both drag and drop to a playlist and open file option in the menu causes the program to crash. Plugins didn't load at all until I manually copied them to the places fooyin was looking for, though I wonder if this is an AUR package issue or not.

I'll keep using DeaDBeeF despite some complaints I have with it for the time being, and will keep a close eye on this one.

Tbh I use mplayer from the command line and that's always worked great for me.
