Foobar Linux

Is there avalable Foobar2000 for Linux?

You probably already saw on the home page that there isn't. It can be used with Wine, though the emulator isn't perfect.

What Case said, plus:

There's over a decade worth of exchange about running foobar2000 in Linux through Wine in this very forum. In a nutshell: all base functionality, media library, even CD ripping, works fine once you are done through the base setup (which can be very simple, if your distro has AUR support).

Also, while there are no plans of porting foobar2000 itself to Linux, Peter himself has asked for feedback on Wine compatibility issues with the player itself.

In a nutshell: though emulation is not perfect, it runs just fine under Linux for "common setups". I can't speak about heavy UI customization though, I am a happy DUI user.

Short but comprehensive post about fb2k on WINE.

There are mentioned some problems between different versions of fb2k and WINE - all they are already history.
The newest - up to date - WINE (9.20) and fb2k (2.24 preview 2024-11-06) - cooperate without any issues.
