One of the most robust, easy to use, and customizable audio players I've ever used.

It's a very good player....... it's almost what i was looking for.... i really like it, it's so customizable, i just want a notification system to next update xD

Not just one of the most extremely customizable audio player/managers out there, but one of the most customizable apps of all time. It's a must-have app for the music listening/collecting hobbyist. It's closest competitor, Songbird, may be slicker, more user-friendly out-of-the-box and generally an audio app with many positive points, but it simply can't manage music on the grand scale that foobar2000 does. Though foobar2000's learning curve can get steep in certain areas, but mostly only when it comes to customization and management on a level that the average person will probably never care about.

Horribly stupid and clumsy interface really kills this otherwise great player

Off the chain customization and hyper personalize it any way you want it without breaking your RAM bank.

However, when filtering for Mac OS X apps, foobar is included, and is tagged as a compatible Mac app. It's purely windows. So please, alternativeTo, fix and properly tag.

Help!!

I need an app for my android mobile that I could program to start and stop, about 4 hours playing and with loop play. I am looking for something like Amarok or Rhythmbox, but for Android 4.1 Any idea? It is something like an alarm but for a long time, if it is free is good but if not it is also good.

Thanks

nothing beats the low memory footprint and versatility of MPD. And now it runs in Windows too!

Far and away the best audio player/music library organizer out there. I have yet to find an audio format that was not supported natively or by a simple "installation" (just drag' n' drop into the 'components' folder) of one of the many optional components (Like Ipod management and such) that the active and friendly community created.
And just in case you did not want to deal with the "steep learning curve," there are a number of quick setup options to choose from. Also the "layout editing mode" where you can adjust the User Interface in real-time is fantastic.
Although it is, sadly, not open-source, it does have a VERY expansive SDK (Software Development Kit).

Fast, light-weight, and downright elegant, I honestly can't sing it's praises enough.

DeadBeef is a foobar-clone for Linux Distros ,there is also another alternative Foobnix :D

Lightweight, it features all I need (keyboard shortcuts, intuitive playlist, never crashes.

Insanely customizable and with no doubt the best music player out there. To bad there's no linux version.

Extremely lightweight, feature-rich and runs great even on ancient hardware. Only problem I have with it is the lack of source code which for ethical and security reasons puts me off.

Been using winamp and WMP for long time,until i found Foobar.Haven't switched to winamp since.Also beats winamp in every aspect :D
Just Beautiful !

I use it as my main player. Lots of features, lots of supported formats, plugins and so on. It can't be beaten on customization. I spent a lot of time learning how to use skins. Some UI designers are really gifted at making foobar skins.

examples :

It's sometimes difficult to set a skin depending on your version of Foobar, some components require updates but it's by far the best all-rounder player you can find...and it's free.
