I wonder why foobar2000 isn't mentioned more often. It's a great and customizable player. It replaced winamp for me (~2010).

- thirdsun 10y agoFoobar is mentioned everywhere. While it's not my player of choice, it has been considered one of the best, most lightweight and customizable players for a long time in pretty much any discussion about audio players for Windows.
- daemin 10y agoYeah I use it now, I just wish it was updated one more time to add some OS-level polish to it (like getting taskbar integration on Windows 7 an above without a plugin). The actual look of the application doesn't bother me, since usually I'll be working on something else that needs the screen space.
- WorldMaker 10y agoThere has been some interesting work on the Foobar 2000 "Mobile App", including a version of Foobar 2000 in the Windows 10 Store. It's interesting to see the work done on that version. Supposedly there was going to be a Patreon or Kickstarter to push that work even further but I don't recall what happened there or didn't follow it well enough. Also, I think that effort was before the modern Windows desktop "bridge" and it would be interesting to see an attempt at a "best of all worlds" version for the Windows 10 Store that supported all of the Desktop features and all of the "Mobile" features (such as Windows 8+ background audio controls).
- bigbugbag 10y agoaccording to wikipedia there are a windows phone, ios and android versions out right now.
- spronkey 10y agofoobar2000 might be customisable, but it comes with terrible defaults in comparison to WinAmp UI-wise. I've tried foobar2000 a few times, but I never have the energy to make it work nicely.
