I had to dig to find Deadbeef, it is not mentioned in a lot of articles or music player round ups, I'm quite happy with it personally, although my needs are small, I have a big local library but it's already mostly organized and tagged, so I just needed something to play from directories which was quite hard to find actually, everything uses playlists which I don't want.

Yeah, same. It's the closest thing I've found to foobar2000 on Linux, in many ways.

Edit: TIL Fooyin exists. -> Flathub

Thanks, @greencoil@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz

It does remind me a lot of foobar, the interface builder could use a little work certainly it's a little tricky, but it works! I accidentally deleted the whole layout at first and had to rebuild it because I deleted the master container haha. It was a learning experience anyways, and now it's working great and looking how I want :)

I've used VLC in WIndows forever, but it started giving me glitchy behavior in Ubuntu. Tried to upgrade to see if it was an old version/Snap thing, got frustrated with it not working. So I went through all the lists of Linux players, tried most of them. I like Audacious. It's not perfect, but it works well, and I can deal with some of the minor things that are more preferences than problems. That's all I wanted.

Deadbeef comes the closest to what I want in a music player. If I could get rid of the playlist display at the bottom and edit tags, it would be perfect.

and edit tags

Well, that sucks :( i was going to try it but i seem to be forever fixing tags, ao that's a must have feature
