    I use Foobar and Plexamp to listen to my FLAC collection. I have a lot of magazine CD inserts not readily available on the streaming platforms. Just feels really good knowing companies like Spotify aren’t making a dime off me.

      Never heard of foobar, and honestly surprised it doesn’t have a linux version. It has a windows phone version, but NOT linux.

      I know I shit on linux a lot on this site for having a small userbase, but COME ON!!! You make a windows phone version but NOT a linux version??? At least linux has something like 5% of the pc market userbase. And while that may be mockingly small, windows phone probably only ever had 5 users total!

      You know it’s bad when I’M the one insulting a program for not having a native linux port.

        Well, Foobar is ancient software and barely has any developers. It’s intended to be a WinAmp clone. I’m sure there’s an equivalent piece of Linux software that does something similar.

        For you and anyone else curious to find something similar to Foobar2k on Linux, there’s DeaDBeeF. I used to use it way back before I switched to ncmpcpp
