The foobar2000 library is a great example of why I and others still use Winamp. I haven't seen a single "modern" player whose library layout is anywhere near as useful as Winamp's.
- detaro 11y agoI didn't use Winamps library feature much, at least I can't remember anything notable about it. What's special about it?
- unethical_ban 11y agoIt was one of the main reasons I liked it. It was just really well laid out, and could do ID3 tag updates before it was a common feature.
- J_Darnley 11y agoI like it because it has clear separation from the Playlist. Something that most other players seem to lack. You start playing one song they go on playing everything else in your library. Other than that it had a nicely customizable display and as a sibling commenter said it had built-in tag editing.
- jzelinskie 11y agofoobar's layout is entirely customizable if you use the columns UI plugin[0] which I think should just be included in the default distribution. Everybody I've ever known who's stuck with foobar uses it. The plugin ecosystem is decent for foobar; I suggest checking them out and seeing what you might use. They have plugins for caching, transcoding, tagging, the works. In the past they tried to raise money to port to Android and iOS, but I wish they would raise money to port to OSX and Linux.
