I'm using foobar2000. Should I be using something else?
Foobar is still the best there is, although the classic style interface might not appeal to younger people.
Still miss foobar which isn't on Linux, though deadbeef is fairly similar at least. Never got the hang of all the beautiful themes/skins users put together for foobar but it was still my go to music player. Excellent layout customisation, tagging and conversion UI, as well as as nice range of plugins
I really like deadbeef, coming from fb2k as well. Someone recommended it to me two weeks ago, and I've immediately recognized the similarities.
Foobar's Dev should have just taken their project open source imo. Although I suspect winamp's lawyers would have jumped on that.
I use Audacious with the original classic winamp skin (which it supports natively).
I think QMMP also supports the winamps themes, and they both work well in Linux (which is all I run these days).
I'm an old soul so I use music bee with the Tron skin, it's very 2000s
