Been running Foobar 2000 for macOS for a year, but this is pretty in a retro way, I guess.

<- the least bollocks-infested media player on macOS since about, oh, September 2000.

- twelvedogs 1y agoit's a good player but it's always been clunky and oddly buggy maybe it's less so on mac but on linux i get random long pauses on video playlist playback that often end with it just stopping
- lproven 1y agoI am a big fan of VLC, and I just wrote an article about it: https://www.theregister.com/2025/11/12/vlc_guru_gong/ https://www.theregister.com/2025/11/12/vlc_guru_gong/ But VLC is a multi-function tool that can play audio and video. Foobar is, as far as I can tell, just an audio player. It's more focussed and consequently smaller and simpler. That's what I like about it. I keep both on my machines and I use both... but I use VLC for video, and Foobar for just listening to music.
