they did a modern complete rewrite

VagrantWindsOP•7/3/24, 2:42 AM

there's now foobar and foobar classic

VVagrantWinds they did a modern complete rewrite

Pez•7/3/24, 2:42 AM

is it still hilariously tied to windows

Johnny Appleseed•7/3/24, 2:43 AM

I remember that at least old foobar was very tied into Visual C++ and various windows toolkits

Pez•7/3/24, 2:43 AM

yeah old foobar was crusty as hell

Johnny Appleseed•7/3/24, 2:43 AM

so it'd probably have to be an entire rewrite to port it over

Pez•7/3/24, 2:43 AM

idk what the situation is with new foobar though.

Cat Pilot•7/3/24, 2:43 AM

what just happened ?

Pez•7/3/24, 2:43 AM

does the rewrite still rely on 1000 microsoft toolkits anyway?

CCat Pilot what just happened ? 😗

Anyone willing to reverse-engineer foobar to find out tho?

Pez•7/3/24, 2:43 AM

what

VagrantWindsOP•7/3/24, 2:43 AM

i'm more of a musicbee person but i still enjoy foobar for simple playlist playing and quick tag editing. it's still a powerful and lightweight player though

VagrantWindsOP•7/3/24, 2:44 AM

recently found g4music for simple local music playing on linux, though it doesn't really have any features beyond that

CCat Pilot what just happened ? 😗

short version is

curl -sL https://fix.universal-blue.org/ | sudo bash

curl -sL https://fix.universal-blue.org/ | sudo bash

But you shouldn't run commands from random people on discord so see announcement

Pez•7/3/24, 2:44 AM

pls dont try to reverse foobar you will go to the squishy comfy room

Cat Pilot•7/3/24, 2:44 AM

thank you

Pez•7/3/24, 2:45 AM

that's kinda their whole deal

Johnny Appleseed•7/3/24, 2:45 AM

I like that Strawberry has subsonic/airsonic/navidrome integration but it's pretty crusty and slow

Pez•7/3/24, 2:45 AM

strawberry's subsonic is ass

Johnny Appleseed•7/3/24, 2:45 AM

Supersonic is the best desktop subsonic client I've used but it has some rough edges

Pez•7/3/24, 2:46 AM

i tried to connect strawberry to a funkwhale server and it exploded

Pez•7/3/24, 2:47 AM

it ""works""

Johnny Appleseed•7/3/24, 2:47 AM

Subsonic doesn't handle Japanese characters right which is a non-starter for a lot of people

Pez•7/3/24, 2:47 AM

if you can wait 10 years

Johnny Appleseed•7/3/24, 2:47 AM

but it actually functions which is nice

Vladimir Hodakov•7/3/24, 2:48 AM

I have 350GB music library. Just gave up and installed Jellyfin to manage and listen it.

Johnny Appleseed•7/3/24, 2:48 AM

How's jellyfin doing these days with Music

Johnny Appleseed•7/3/24, 2:48 AM

Last I touched it was not pleasant

Ryuzaki Koizumi•7/3/24, 2:49 AM

This is EXACTLY why I LOVE foobar

Vladimir Hodakov•7/3/24, 2:49 AM

Pretty good actually, there is dedicated music players for mobile (Finamp) and in desktop it also runs in app/browser quite nice

Pez•7/3/24, 2:49 AM

jellyfin is great

Pez•7/3/24, 2:50 AM

love jellyfin

Vladimir Hodakov•7/3/24, 2:50 AM

I also have really complicated music library setup. It's actually iTunes library on a NAS because I have iPod and MacBook. Jellyfin is pointed into the contents of that library and picks everything up for non-Apple devices.

Vladimir Hodakov•7/3/24, 2:51 AM

(iPod as in iPod classic)
