Foobar2000 isn’t open source, so that probably disqualifies it for many VLC users. It also has UI weirdness like VLC, but differently weird. I guess that’s less of an issue than it could be, but the Android version of foobar2000 doesn’t have an obvious Play All/Shuffle All button when in shuffle mode, among other quirky situations that other players handle better. Haven’t tried DeaDBeeF to my knowledge, but it seems vaguely familiar, so maybe I did way back in the day. I haven’t really used local music much since I started streaming music. I never would have guessed that shift would occur. I’m finding the value in local media lately, though. I know that remote streaming assets can disappear anytime, and now plan for that eventuality. Building a local media library feels sustainable and fun again, and discovery has a companion goal of collecting.
