    “The state of Linux music players” but no mention of Audacious or Deadbeef? For shame.

      Yeah, I did not expect them to do that title justice, because how in the hell could anyone try 200 music players, but how did they get down to 7 and somehow skip some of the most popular players…? Did all of those somehow look broken on their setup? 🫠

          I don’t see anyone mentioning Fooyin, which seems to be an attempt at being an open source clone of Foobar2000, right down to its plug in system.

          Its making me feel concerned. Is there a reason foobar fans aren’t using it? Do they just not know about it? Its missing a few features here and there, but the UI is so 1 to 1 that I can’t imagine trying to use anything else as a replacement.

            The latter, I assume, as I confess I had never heard of it before you mentioned it. Now that I’ve checked it out, it looks very promising! Thanks for the heads-up.
