Hi team,
I have bin a Foobar user for at least 15 years, as have many others on this forum. It does everything audio and some video now too. The program is dedicated to the highest quality audio possible. This is why I stick with it.
Having to install it via Wine is difficult and the result is unstable. I'm sure it's open source.
I would love a standard install from Software Manager. (and I suspect so would many others here). It's a program I use more than any other in Mint. It would also mean that you can lose the many other audio programs that just play music or do a cuppla things.

Re: Foobar2000
Foobar is not open source. If it was there would have been a Linux port of it years ago. If you're into the "bit perfect" settings thing you could try deadbeef.

Re: Foobar2000
Hoser Rob. legit..THANK you much for that info.
I've been looking for something that is just as fast as rhythmbox..installs natively vs the wine-required deal of Foobar2000 AND I can customize the hotkeys. Finally!! (nods humbly)
The command below will handle downloading and installing deadbeef easily

Re: Foobar2000
Thanks. I'll try it again. I tried it a cuppla years ago but to my mind it wasn't ready/logical.
