I do like deadbeef. It's a nice player, but what I absolutely hate about it is that ctrl-w closes the current playlist (well, that's the hotkey I close my tabs with, too, so that's fine), but you cannot restore that (or am I missing some feature?). And I am a lazy guy that doesn't save his playlist regularly.

Is there some feature to make it ask me if I want to close a playlist or just disable that hotkey? I sometimes get frustrated when the wrong window has focus. I was even thinking about implementing such thing myself, but somehow never got around to do it

Edit: Also iirc the shuffle function in deadbeef is weird, because it always shuffled tracks in the same order (if the playlist did not change and you started on the same track). It somehow has a 'shuffle' and 'random'. Maybe that's intended

Should also mention that Foobar2000 works flawlessly with WINE.

That's a funny name considering it was the Winamp creator's nickname and Foobar2000 itself is a Winamp clone.

With all due respect, but it's very, very far from being a clone from the point of view of the functionality that foobar provides.

I dunno what the experience is like on other distros, but on Arch I've tried 3 or 4 times to run it and something is always going awry, either with the software itself or with some plugin I consider indispensable.

A clone in appearance and layout configurability, but it's far from having feature parity from foobar.

I've been using VLC for Linux and mobile mp3s haven't tried FLAC though
