- The only Linux audio player that's as simple, compatible, and customizable as foobar2000. bVork • Jan 2019
- Looks 99% like foobar2000, as a previous foobar2000 user. UI is almost exactly the same, never crashes, uses very little memory. Guest • Sep 2018

- Poor audio settings and useless/featureless gui. Guest • Apr 2018 • 1 agrees and 7 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
- 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
