 **Foobar 2000** is my favourite [[music player]], even after switching to Linux, which is a bit of a pain, because it's Windows-only. Running it in [[Wine]] means you miss out on being able to use it to sync with stuff via USB, but that's no longer necessary for me anyway. <del>Still, I mostly just use it when I boot into Windows 7</del> I finally have a nice Wine setup. Fonts have continued to be the biggest pain. The [[aur>foobar2000]] in the AUR was a help!

 In Foobar:
-  - Right click on a playlist
+  - Right click on a [[playlists|playlist]].
   - In that menu go ''Contents > File Operations > Copy to''
     * If you save your 'Copy to' preset you can do ''... > Copy to > [preset name]''. You will still get a prompt and opportunity to change things before it runs.

 ==== Switching Away From Foobar ====
-  - The first step was identifying what I wanted out of the software, test as many programs as I could, and work out what formats and stuff I needed. I've been transferring my notes over to: music_player-s-[[music_player#notes]]. Ended up deciding on [[Quod Libet]] as the main software I want to use for organising and playing music on my computer, and running an [[MPD]] server to make it easy to play music elsewhere in the house (though mostly I just play records tbh).

   - Next I went and tidied up my library, using Foobar's built-in in file management tools to move and rename all my music. I wanted to do this in FB so that links in playlists would be in tact. Took advantage of [[Picard]] a few times to get tags on some stuff with shitty metadata.
     - After exporting playlists as ''.m3u8'' files (that I then renamed ''.m3u'' for [[mpd]]'s sake) I found out that the links //weren't// in tact, but I'll fix that later.
