So close! I just built it from source and had a look at it. I've been looking for years to find a proper Foobar2000 replacement for Linux. This one is tantalizingly close, with the design mode and all. But it lacks the one thing that I have yet to find in any other audio player than Foobar2000: the music library tree view with its searching, sorting, and filtering capabilities - especially the ability to search, sort, or filter on any tag, including user-defined ones.
There's a "playlist browser" widget, but it's only for playlists.
EDIT2: One very cool feature: it can automatically set ReplayGain by track or album mode depending on how the playlist is sorted.
If you build it from source, aside from the usual "which dev libraries do I need" dance to enable features and plugins, you also need to install clang and libdispatch-dev. Deadbeef doesn't support gcc [0].

EDIT: For the most part, I use Clementine. While it doesn't search/sort on user-defined tags, it otherwise does most of what I need.
- MrDOS 6y agoHave you tried Quod Libet[0]? The paned browser is fully customizable, and you can regex search on any tag. I wish it gave more priority to album art, but it's far and away the most powerful browsing experience I've encountered in a music player.
