Guest ruiagnelo Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I want the most basic player there is, with a simple interface that can display the records by its cover, like itunes does, and that can scan my portable hd, from which i play my music, without needing an additional app (itunes folder watch). I know itunes sucks, i just woke up now to realize the potential of open source software. Better late than never, they say...

Root5 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I managed to get my foobar to look like itunes using an extension. I think it's called columns ui. I haven't added a search function, but I'm sure it's possible to do so.

Guest ruiagnelo Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 i don't want extensions. i want a simple program that can offer me some visual options and play from my portable hd. i don't want it to look exactly like itunes either. it's just my reference for a music player. If there is one of course. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/74161-recommend-me-a-player-to-replace-itunes/#findComment-1831827 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Edit Hide Delete Posted June 11, 2012 foobar2000 - Interface is very quick, feels very native. You can drag into it, out of it, large amount of functionality and tools a right mouse button away... No UI bugs ever. It's very quick to do pretty much anything (converting, retagging, auto-renaming, queue management etc.) You can change the layout very easily from the UI and add different panels like a cover panel. I think foobar2000 is the best out there by far because of its large feature set, flexibility and unmatched raw speed. I mostly use MPD + ncmpcpp these days because I'm on linux. But it doesn't come close to foobar2000.

Guest couch Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 ive been using itunes. i like the search bar at the top, that's how i pick what album to play. I can't remember winamp doing that, but I haven't used winamp for at least 5 years. Does winamp or foobar have a search bar like that?

I think foobar2000 is the best out there by far because of its large feature set, flexibility and unmatched raw speed. +1 for all of this. The one thing i'd add rugalo is to reconsider your (hereto justifiable) objections to extensions, skins 'n shit; foobar is extensible via components which actually add useful functionality instead of bloat. For example, you'd want the facets component for the Default UI to get an iTunes-like hierarchical library viewer w/ covers, etc. Here are some screenshots of my setup to give you an idea: Reveal hidden contents Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide BobDobalina's signature Hide all signatures CA$HNE$$ Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/74161-recommend-me-a-player-to-replace-itunes/#findComment-1831888 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Al Hounos Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 i like clementine. http://www.clementine-player.org/ foobar is good, but i don't really care for messing around with extensions. it's too configurable, for me. i use it on ubuntu btw so YMMV.

Guest ruiagnelo Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) using foobar2000 now. i have had it for a while a couple of years back and remember enjoying the fact that it is so light and quick. the customization options offer quite a variety without needing skins and additional stuff. how's the converter compared with dbpoweramp? because i am thinking that i could also get rid of it, and have everything in this little player... edit: also, having a real time running spectrogram is a nice detail Edited June 11, 2012 by ruiagnelo Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/74161-recommend-me-a-player-to-replace-itunes/#findComment-1831994 Share on other sites More sharing options...
