DeaDBeeF is a clone for Linux.
- mrinfinitiesx 2y agoI've been using VLC for Linux and mobile mp3s haven't tried FLAC though
- olyjohn 2y agoxmms was my go to back in the day for Linux. Hard to beat the small, unobtrusive WinAmp interface and skin support. Now I use Audacious as it still supports WinAmp skins and interface. It's really hard to beat.
- kichik 2y agoThat's a funny name considering it was the Winamp creator's nickname and Foobar2000 itself is a Winamp clone.
- rcfox 2y agoIt's a phrase that fits into a hex value. 0xdeadbeef, 0xcafebabe, etc.
- Quiark 2y agoin what way is foobar2000 a winamp clone the only similarity I could see is that it plays music
- notpushkin 2y agoNot sure how fb2k is a Winamp clone. There's a Winamp clone for Linux though, Audacious: https://audacious-media-player.org/ https://audacious-media-player.org/
- kichik 2y agoSorry, clone might not be the right word here. Foobar2000 was created out of spite because the creator didn't like what Winamp was doing. I vaguely recall something about bitrate limits and ogg support? It was so long ago and on IRC so no history saved. So it's a replacement?

- jasonjayr 2y ago> foobar2000 was first released in 2002 and developed by Peter Pawłowski, who had previously worked at Nullsoft and developed plugins for Winamp. He created foobar2000 with the audiophile community in mind. The software's mascot and logo icon consists of a white "alien cat". From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foobar2000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foobar2000 . It has WinAmp's DNA somewhere in there, and IIRC it was kicked off soon after AOL had bought WinAmp/Nullsoft.
- anthk 2y agoWinamp clones for Linux/BSD began with X11AMP, later XMMS, which had a huge amount of plugins, similar to Winamp. Then XMMS was forked upon the GTK2 release with Audacious and another one I can't remember its name.
- jszymborski 2y agoShould also mention that Foobar2000 works flawlessly with WINE.
- dailykoder 2y agoI do like deadbeef. It's a nice player, but what I absolutely hate about it is that ctrl-w closes the current playlist (well, that's the hotkey I close my tabs with, too, so that's fine), but you cannot restore that (or am I missing some feature?). And I am a lazy guy that doesn't save his playlist regularly. Is there some feature to make it ask me if I want to close a playlist or just disable that hotkey? I sometimes get frustrated when the wrong window has focus. I was even thinking about implementing such thing myself, but somehow never got around to do it Edit: Also iirc the shuffle function in deadbeef is weird, because it always shuffled tracks in the same order (if the playlist did not change and you started on the same track). It somehow has a 'shuffle' and 'random'. Maybe that's intended
- RunSet 2y agoYou might like Audacious[0]. It loads the previously-open playlist by default, which I find a little annoying but apparently is your preference. Audacious has the bare-bones GUI of foobar2000 / deadbeef and also a plug-in architecture. https://audacious-media-player.org/ https://audacious-media-player.org/
- mariusor 2y agoWith all due respect, but it's very, very far from being a clone from the point of view of the functionality that foobar provides.
- squidbeak 2y agoA clone in appearance and layout configurability, but it's far from having feature parity from foobar.
- SuperNinKenDo 2y agoI dunno what the experience is like on other distros, but on Arch I've tried 3 or 4 times to run it and something is always going awry, either with the software itself or with some plugin I consider indispensable.
