Nice idea, would use it if adapted for last.fm. Your survey contains "FooBar" as a listening option - assume this should not be on there ?

- girasquid 14y agoI was surprised too, but it is actually a music player that some of my early testers use: http://www.foobar2000.org/ http://www.foobar2000.org/.
- whyleyc 14y agoWow - I totally thought it was something you'd been using to test the survey and left in place when going live :)
- antihero 14y agoA fantastic one, too. Unfortunately not on Linux, though.
- SanjayUttam 14y agoWas just going to say the same thing. Very lightweight, skinnable (via css + html).
- thestu 14y agoProbably the single program I miss the most on Linux. I've never been able to find an acceptable replacement.
- antihero 14y agoI use MPD + ncmpcpp/ario, and then Picard for tagging. It works pretty well, and I can do a bunch of stuff I couldn't do with Foobar2000, too, such as controlling my music via an app on my phone.
- w1ntermute 14y agofoobar2000 is one of the best music players on Windows (though like antihero said, it's unfortunately not available for Linux). I'm surprised you haven't heard of it.
- j45 14y agoI'll check this out, thanks

- janmonschke 14y agoI'd also like to try it out if it could use my last.fm history since I've been switching platforms and players a lot but I was always scrobbling all the songs. But anyways, very cool idea :)

- whalesalad 14y agoI second the motion for last.fm support. 1) it's easier than uploading my XML file which is currently on another computer 2) you can recommend music based on a window of time ... for example recently I've been super interested in EDM (dance music and remixes) but if you look at my entire iTunes library (~80GB of music) what i'm currently super interested in is only a small percentage of that. So, it would be cool to see "what would I like to be listening to based on what I have been listening to for the last 6 months 3) You get access to my data indefinitely (more or less) and can re-run the algorithm on my account at your own leisure ... every day, every week, etc... Music discovery has always been huge in my mind. I LOVE music and cannot really go a day without it. If i'm working, you better believe I have earbuds in and i'm listening to something. I'm always on the prowl for new stuff.
- j45 14y agoRecommendations according to the number of plays you've had on a track would be great too.
