Very cool! Still early, so ran into some bugs:

• Buggy playback on some files. Would either not play or play back glitched. Using Pipewire plugin.
• Inconsistent vert/hori split behavior. Not sure I completely understand what I was doing wrong, but when editing the layout sometimes a split would open to the right of the widget area I was trying to split.

Anyway, I like that Foobar can group albums next to their cover art in a playlist. Made visually scrolling through a large playlist much more interesting IMO, and fooyin does it well! Now to see if I can tweak the size of them.

I’m looking forward to it. A good directory browser is important, however I’m surprised to learn that most other players don’t have it

The best music player on Linux is still foobar2000 in WINE, so I will definitely be trying this out.

Here I am chilling with Amberol

This looks promising. I always yearned for Foobar2000 to be on Linux natively.

However layout editor part is quite confusing (adding widgets seem to add them not where I want them at), and I couldn’t get it to play any music, as both drag and drop to a playlist and open file option in the menu causes the program to crash. Plugins didn’t load at all until I manually copied them to the places fooyin was looking for, though I wonder if this is an AUR package issue or not.

I’ll keep using DeaDBeeF despite some complaints I have with it for the time being, and will keep a close eye on this one.

Lollypop is better.

I love VLC

Tbh I use mplayer from the command line and that’s always worked great for me.
