- 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. Guest • Jul 2018 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Looks 99% like foobar2000, as a previous foobar2000 user. UI is almost exactly the same, never crashes, uses very little memory. Guest • Sep 2018 • 1 agrees and 1 disagrees

- If you are looking for a Linux program to do the same thing foobar2000 does, this is probably your best bet. Has a gui very reminiscent of fb2k, a similar plugin system bundled with it, and support for almost all video game music formats out of the box. Guest • Dec 2017 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Very similar to foobar2000 minimalistic interface. There is also support for Winamp skins + its a open source software. Unk42 • Oct 2019 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
- gapless playback work perfectly :) bothing worse than those short pauses! if this had a remote function would be awesome the only thing i dont like is not being able to navigate to the folder from the context menu Guest • Mar 2017 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Poor audio settings and useless/featureless gui. Guest • Apr 2018 • 1 agrees and 8 disagrees
