    Foobar is easy to use like Strawberry. It has plenty of great features with a user-friendly UI. Superb.

    Foobar requires a lot of setup to get it to suite my needs. Not saying that's a bad thing, but I'm able to get Strawberry to do exactly what I want in about 1/10th of the time it'd take me to get Foobar to do what I want.

    It's abandoned and Strawberry is a fresh fork of it because the developpers of Clementine dissmised audiophiles.

    Audacious doesn't use a data base. It is more like the good old winamp.
