Real time? I don't know, I never use the lyric plugin. I just like the audio plugins and features. I don't really care about CD ripping or real time lyrics.

It does do lyrics, though. See: >>53842532

Also, Foobar's CD ripping quality is questionable. It sounds... lacking to me.

I've used 3.7.1 and the 3.6.2. There's not too much a difference to me in terms of sound quality and performance. There are a few GUI differences but that's about it (it went back to GTK 2, I guess).

If it's that big of a deal and I'm that upset/distraught over it, I'll just download it from the website myself like people do on other operating systems. PPAs are useful and if that doesn't work, I'll just compile.

In short, tons of options for me to use if I'm unhappy with the default package.

Yeah, I've always cared way more about what I can do to the actual sound. As long as it can read the generic metadata, I'm good.

But whatever player I use must be full-featured+ with sound and audio options. I don't really care about stuff like lyrics, artist info pages and things. It doesn't enhance the audio quality.

Hm, might look better if you dropped icon size to about 32 and grab a different icon pack (numix circle?).. But yeah, it uses up entire width and can't be centered.. Oh, maybe you could make launcher's background fully transparent? Unity tweak might be able to do that..

Anything that can't do everything you see in pic rel and more is not a replacement for foobar

The thing I really wouldn't be able to do without anymore is everything related to foobar's tagging: it has a special syntax to format string fields from track tags for purposes like sorting, grouping and auto file structuring/naming, you can query tags in a way similar to sql, etc

That was fixed days ago. Launchpad needed to update to keep up with apt's new policy of upgrading the default security measures to sha512.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/1556666

All custom ppas on Launchpad work fine now. If you have a custom ppa outside of launchpad you need to tell your maintainer to upgrade to apt's new policy.

The author is from that era when everything was acceptably freeware and open source wasn't even a meme yet, just an obscure agenda for obese wizards with beards.

Open sourcing the program itself is of limited usefulness anyway since it's dependent on that modular plugin architecture. It would be like open sourcing Windows but having just about every program available for it remain closed.

Still, it's the only closed source program I use on a regular basis that keeps me from ditching Windows altogether. Linuxtards need to step up their game instead of pretending what they have is better; denial is the Macfag game.

It's already usable out of the box, if you need niche features like SACD or DVD-A then you need a few plugins, if you need some old ass ricing from DeviantArt then you might need some shady plugins from fucknowswhere
Most plugins are FOSS though

the question is still remains

What's so special about fb2k?

It's already dying, everyone seems to not really care about the plethora of old ass plugins out there, people seem to be pretty fine with Spotify and GPM
The same goes for Rockbox, even Saratoga is using GPM nowadays

Android/linux also depends on proprietary modules for example, but is open-source.

Lod'sa plugins to do all kinds of shit, if there's something doable by an audio player then there's some Foobar plugin for it
Especially for older, even deprecated and forgotten, shit
Like obscure audio codecs, like LA or Optimfrog

Not really, it also just works out of the box
You can do anything in it, from all kinds of DSP's to tagging/renaming/moving files, or checking the integrity of them, it's kind of retarded the amount of crap people can do with foobar
>>53848049
You don't have a tool to convert audio out of the box
Not that you should
>>
>>53848056
What do you mean it runs in the background?
>>
>>53848077
I mean it runs as a sort of daemon, to which you connect with using an ncurses interface, it's like a much simpler mpd that uses less resources
>>
>>53848065
>You can do anything in it
That's what an OS is for.

That's what checksum tools are for (like sha512sum).
>it's kind of retarded the amount of crap people can do with foobar
Indeed, it's retarded.
For some reason, Windows users feel the need to have every fucking feature integrated into a single executable.
>You don't have a tool to convert audio out of the box
Huh? I do, it's called ffmpeg. Converts everything to everything else.
>>
>>53848118
I see,didn't know that. Does it support music database or replay gain?
>>
>>53844678
Aside from the 2 spectrum and waveform visualisers, where do you see bloat? The top one is a convenient seek bar and the volume level displays are useful to me
>>
>>53848126
Exactly, still, a lot of standalone tools can't compete with Foobar+plugins at all, for converting audio there's only a script with comparable features in *nix nothing in Windows, the same happens with a lot of other tools, and some tools don't really exist outside of foobar, like DVD-A watermark removal
>That's what checksum tools are for (like sha512sum).
It's checks integrity with the md5's included in the files, and/or with the AR/CTDB database

Deadbeef has the same editing mode as foobar and I actually set my player up the same way as my old foobar setup. I don't feel the need to use foobar anymore at all...
>>
>>53848141
Well the audio control interface uses alsa , jack or oss as a backend and it supports playlists + network streaming too. You can set quick dirs in the config file. Idk if it supports those since it's so simple, but multiple workarounds should work
>>

Do you mean FFMpeg? FFMpeg is not a script and it is available for Windows, as well as graphical front-ends for it.

probably because they aren't committed to a retarded unix philosophy that some fat guy on usenet made up in 1980

If not for people like Dennis Ritchie, Ken Thompson or Rob Pike, computing wouldn't look like it looks now. A little respect, lil ducky.
>>
>>53847854
If you really wanted to ditch Windows you could easily do that and run Foobar in Wine, afaik it works perfectly.
>>
>>53844259
Any plugins for it?
>>
Cmus is good enough for me.
>>
>>53848343
If it hadn't been for people like them, computing might have been directed by lisp machines.

Unix is a cancer that smothered superior ideas in the cradle.
>>
>>53848413
LISP was popular because a bunch of people thought AI is easy and we'll have human-intelligence machines in 10-20 years. Shit didn't work out so well.

You can still use lisp, no need to have special lisp machines, as computers are fast now. But a lot of AI is now done in new generation of languages, like Python.

You won't get the same performance transcoding files as the Foobar audio converter does, though you can with caudec
>>53848254
>Do you mean CRC?
Some codecs have the option of adding a checksum to the files, FLAC and TAK can add md5's of the decoded audio, dunno' about other codecs
AccurateRip is a database of checksums for CD's, CTDB is more or less the same, AR is based in CRC's IIRC, no idea what CTDB does since it works like parity data
CUETools can verify this data, and a lot of media players/ripping software can verify with the AR database

https://www.jwz.org/doc/worse-is-better.html
>>
>>53848499
I'm pretty sure Foobar uses ffmpeg/libavcodec as a back-end, so there's no difference in performance.

FLAC files can be verified with the flac tool.
>>
>>53848527
There's difference in most multiprocessor systems, most codecs are slower running with their SMP implementations instead of running multiple instances
foobar doesn't use ffmpeg as a backend, it actually runs lame/oggenc/flac/etc, it's pretty much a front end for any command line encoder
>>
>>53848562
Well, ffmpeg does the same.
You can run multiple instances just fine.

>>53848598
Yeah, using some script, not out of the box
>>
>>53842428
Foobar is fucking shit though and has ridiculously bad default settings and looks, also the playlist handling is absolute fucking garbage. MusicBee is superior in every single way.
>>
>>53848621
MusicBee is like JRiver trying to be Foobar, without any of the good things of either
>>
>>53848614
How do you define OOTB?
You can do some thing like:
for i in *.flac; do lame $i ${i%.*}.mp3 &; done.
>>
>>53848659
That's a bash script
You also need to add more stuff if you want replaygain/etc

That's a one-liner.
But what's wrong with scripts?
>You also need to add more stuff if you want replaygain/etc
--replaygain-accurate
>>
>>53848695
Now downsampling/dithering using SoX, it soon will get complicated, that's why caudec exists
Then add DSP's, like decent HRTF/Crossfeed, or convolution, you might not even find any sort of decent HRTF in *nix land, that's one of the reasons Foobar is still quite dominant

i dont really need much in terms of music.
i just use clementine for music, internet radio and podcasts.
its serves me pretty well and is pretty lightweight about 20-90mb usage on windows 7
