Looks great, foobar2000 was my player of choice many years ago on Windows.

But these days I prefer the simplicity of mpv even for audio. It supports most audio formats, M3U playlists and HTTP, since I don't keep music locally anymore, and shows metadata and album art just fine, with a consistent UI across platforms and very lightweight on resources. Turns out I don't need much more than that.

It's even extensible with Lua, so scrobbling is also supported: https://github.com/l29ah/w3crapcli/blob/master/last.fm/mpv-l... .



mpv also works fine as an image viewer if you don't view many high-res photographs (I don't).
