try harder please

you can't suggest foobar to people because they instantly get turned off by how nerdy it is

Try musicbee. I use both foobar2k (for analyzing music) and music bee (for listening like a normie).

>musicbee
that actually looks decent holy moly

I like audacious personally but you sound like a fucking retard normie who would dismiss it for looking like a "90s" program and since you even mentioned groove and itunes you should probably just kill yourself

Musicbee

/thread

Spotify is all one needs. Embrace the Swedish essence.

Winamp has the best XM/MOD decoder and the only player that can play v2m.

Probably i will be the last person on earth to use it

Speak for yourself, faggot.

this. musicbee with the right customizations is the bees (lol) nees

VLC

what was that one that had good design but got abandoned?

I have no idea why this made me lol

tomahawk just got abandoned but thats linoox as well.

Get the fuck out of there

What's wrong with VLC?

>Probably i will be the last person on earth to use it
nigga pls

>that one that had good design but got abandoned
I got you senpai.

1. nothing really wrong with foobar. if it wasnt bloat and a botnet.
2. ffmpeg and acme are cross platform; available for osx, linux, bsd, windows
3. itunes is ok
4. gnome music and deadbeef are trash and are bad clones of programs mentioned above

Why not just use RealPlayer?

it was a few years back
no

using anything but cmus

>Complains about bloat

>Why not just use bloatware, user?

That's what was being implied, yes.

aimp is quite comfy

>>Foobar2K

So? You don't look at it 99% of the time .

i use foobar because i set it up 8 years ago and juswerks

is aimp any good on desktop? i use it on my phone and it seems alright

The absolute king of music players used to be Winamp but then jews killed it and now we are left with scraps like musicbee, foobar and other trash

fb2k is great user, it got me a gf once

but it does, user

>meanwhile in the foobar camp

>nerd ass design not for normal people

too mainstream for Sup Forums

Musicbee is really good for MS Windows

Perhaps you should quit your job as your 'friends' personal tech support.

This is the only real answer

...

>>you can't suggest foobar to people

Why can you only use software you can recommend to people? Do you have some kinda mental disorder where you can't use a product without spending your free time advertising that product to your friends?

...

>not liking the nerd ass design of foobar
>being a normal person

Stop

Not enough curved borders for you, user?

Are you all dirty peasants or something?

MusicBee

why are you using Windows?

Musicbee beats any music player on any platform.

>foobar
>nerdy
>freezes if coverart too big
How fucking big do you need the coverart anyways? I could set it to 1000x1000 and it would work. It would be stupid but it would work.

How is it even nerdy? Just download it and fucking use it. Or use something like Columns UI and you can get an easy set-up. If you want it more fine tuned yes you do have to use a few little scripting language but its not hard to look up.

You know you can make foobar look as gay as you want, right?

I use vlc since it's the only player on Android and windows/lincucks with a good eq

>not using zune

wow

He's not even trolling. I used to use GUI players, now using mpd+ncmpcpp. Foobar2k is ass-backwards as fuck.

It's extraordinarily ugly when default, and customization requires learning what amounts to a DSL for a fucking music player. If I was that autistic about a >>fucking music player

Sad to see that. All devs seemed to have lost any interest. I tried to help out with a new backend a while ago but no one wanted to do anything, and in fact some people were directly opposed to having any sort of architecture, complaining their codebase was a mess but rejecting anything other than piling hacks upon hacks.

Can't say I'm surprised it happened, but didn't expect it to happen so soon.

If foobar2k is too difficult for you to learn, then maybe computers aren't for you.

It takes 15 minutes from installing to customizing if you have an IQ north of 80.

It's not difficult, it's absolutely pointless.

There's no acceptable middle ground between an OOTB experience and just writing your own music player reusing the wide ecosystem of open source parts out there.

It's like non-programmers want to pretend they know how to program.

It's not pointless; it gives you a framework to customize your music player to your liking. You just have to give enough of a shit to actually customize the player. If your prime directive is being a lazy sack of shit, then pick another player. If you want a customized music player experience, then you're gonna have to put in a bit of time and effort (oh no!)

I'll try

You are too fussy and picky.

I use Groove and it's fine. No ads. I don't use tags much, you must have a lot of free time.
