There's also really cool feature that you can queue any file you double click in file explorer in its own playlist (I call this playlist Inbox), so that the playlist I'm currently listening is unmodified.Ĭlosest thing I found on Linux is ncmpcpp and it's still a far cry from everything I can do in foobar2000. There's also tag editor and format converter. These are all my custom shortcuts but I love the fact that you can assign shortcut to virtually anything. Quite useful if I want to move it somewhere else or copy it or rename or whatever. I press 'o' on a track and it opens a file explorer in the location where the track is located and it also selects it. I press 'q', type few letters in search bar, press enter and I get new playlist with the results. I press 'A' on a track and I get everything from this album. I press 'a' on a selected track and I see everything from this artist. Sometimes, I listen to a random track and decide I want to hear everything from this artist that I have in library. I'm not sure what kind of magic it uses, but the second I put new files in directories where my music is, foobar2000 sees it and I can access it in foobar. Actually, no other player on the planet can compete with foobar's media library. The greatest thing about foobar2000 is media library which deadbeef doesn't even have. I sigh every time someone says deadbeef is great alternative to foobar2000.
