    Everything that in foobar2000 needs to be done for hours to make, you can done in AIMP in a matter of seconds. I tried many different players, been using foobar2000 for a long time, but in the end I still switched back to AIMP. The most convenient and functional without unnecessary movements.

    It's not as customizable as foobar. The latter can be hackeable to the point where you write a script that changes completely any single point of its UI.

    Like Foobar2000, you can customize the interface as well as you want, it supports easily flac files and metadata edition. DeadBeef is the alternative and open source furthermore.

    Very similar to foobar2000 but lacks a lot of refinements and details. Some hotkeys binding simply doesn't work. Cannot import/export theme and settings.

    Very customizable, with a default GTK interface! Looks and runs great! Exactly what I wanted from a music player :)

    Strawberry has many features that are similar to the ones I use most in foobar2000. I particularly like the queuing system as it allows me to maintain my playlists in the order I want while easily being able to cherry pick what I want to listen to right now. This is the best music player I have found that is available for Linux and it gets me closest to the experience I loved about using foobar2000 in Windows.

    If you want a really lightweight audio player don't look further than this one, i love the minimalist way of this one.

    It is quite decent alternative: same interface type, cue sheet support, although missing some functions (I found lack of some conversion formats, which created a feeling of slight dampness of the application).

    But overall it's good underrated app.

    VUPlayer is simple and fast. UI is a little outdated, but who is looking at that while playing music? Have used it for years. Missing one important feature (to me): shuffle tracks.
