Foobar2000

Foobar is an incredible lightweight music player with media database that can be configured to one's heart content and various plugins and addons are available. While it is a windows app, it works well under wine in Linux.

https://www.foobar2000.org/

mkdir ~/.foobar2000
cp c:/users/<username>/AppData/Roaming/foobar2000/* ~/.foobar2000
apt-get install wine:i386 winetricks
wine foobar-install.exe

Use this folder as installation directory, replacing username with the actual linux username Z:/home/<username>/.foobar2000 then select portable install. The hidden directory is not browseable, so enter it in the path box manually.

Install winetricks manually:

cd "${HOME}/Downloads"
wget  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks
sudo cp winetricks /usr/local/bin

cd "${HOME}/Downloads"
wget  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks.bash-completion
sudo cp winetricks.bash-completion /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/winetricks

Use winetricks to set the wine prefix to 32bit, windows 10 and install gdiplus:
Either through gui:

winetricks --gui

or

winetricks settings win10
winetricks gdiplus

#set pseudo drive mappings to be in line with windows drive mappings

sudo gedit /usr/bin/foobar2000

#!/bin/sh
cd ~/.foobar2000/
if [ "$1" != "" ]; then
filename=`echo z:$1 | sed 's/\\//\\\\/g'`
wine foobar2000.exe "$filename" &
else
wine foobar2000.exe &
fi

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/foobar2000

#save a png icon for foobar as /usr/share/icons/foobar2000.png

sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/foobar2000.desktop

• Make a backup before and/or after the upgrade of the foobar folder using

  tar cvzf foobar2000.portable.`date +'%Y-%m-%d'`.linux.tgz ~/.foobar2000

• Start the installer using

  wine foobar2000_v1.6.16.exe

• Select portable installation
• enter the following destination folder, replacing username with the actual linux username

  Z:\home\wuff\.foobar2000

• When prompted use the separate user-components folder.

tar -xzf file_name.tar.gz -C /

If a message like “The Wine configuration in /path/to/.wine is being updated, please wait…” pops up every time foobar is started, the following can help do disable updates:

#echo 'disable' > $WINEPREFIX/.update-timestamp
echo 'disable' > .wine/.update-timestamp 

Text Display addon is not compatible with 64bit Foobar, but works with 32but Foobar v2.0. Possible alternative:

The “Run services” component can be used to add specific commands to the context menu like opening the folder in nemo:

Label: Open file directory in Nemo
Path: Z:\usr\bin\xdg-open "$replace(%path%,'\','/','Z:',,%filename_ext%,)"
      Z:\usr\bin\xdg-open "$replace(%path%,'\','/','W:','/media/music/',%filename_ext%,)"
