-I've been wanting a [[Linux]] alternative to [[foobar_2000]] (F2K) ever since I switched over. I've never found something good enough, but I check-in with things every now-and-then.

 Mostly features Foobar has that I really want in a replacement:
-  * Have a native [[Linux]] version, and be free and open source software.

-  * Layout: Flexibility is nice. I probably spend as much time organising my music as a do playing it (...), so being able to customise the layout is nice. In F2K my main layout has playlists down the left, then the other column is split with columns for artist, albuum, genre, and file properties, and a row on the bottom with selected tracks and their details. I have another view for listening with big album art, and columns for playlists and the queue.

   * Automatically applying tags based on the file name.
   * Renaming files and directories based on tags.

 And some things Foobar doesn't do that I'd like:
   * One thing that bugs me about Foobar in Wine is the font support. I've never been able to get it display characters from all the languages I need. This should work fine in any Linux player without hassle.
-  * Playlist portability. F2K uses it's own format. It can export to common ones, but I'd love to be able to use the playlists other places without having to export them.
+  * [[playlists|Playlist]] portability. F2K uses it's own format. It can export to common ones, but I'd love to be able to use the playlists other places without having to export them.
   * I'm used to the weird(?) F2K handles tags with multiple values ('';'' separator, instead of separate instances of the tag), but am not too fussed about changing if I can automate it.
