I've been using strawberry since moving to linux since there was no good foobar2000 replacement but I just discovered fooyin these past couple of days and this is so convincingly close that I can pretend it's just foobar2000.

That's not to throw any shade on strawberry, it's also incredibly good, but foobar2000 will always have it's claws in me.

foobar2000 actually runs very well in Wine.

couple years ago, i did try but after hours of attempts, i just couldn't install working version of Eole-foobar-theme, is it possible to run these days?

I've never heard of that. It looks like it packages some dodgy components, notably foo_spider_monkey_panel. I only know that fb2k with its official components work reliably.

Unfortunately, the theme is written in javascript, so this is basically a middleware It was the first and last time i was able to perfectly customize my player to what i wanted though
