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.

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.

#start winetricks and install the following dlls (some may not be required)

winetricks --gui

Start the installer using

wine foobar2000_v1.3.10.exe

Select portable installation and enter Z:\home\<username>\.foobar2000 as destination folder, replacing username with actual linux username.

When prompted use the separate user-components folder.

It's not a terrible idea to make a backup before and/or after the upgrade of the foobar folder using

tar cvzf foobar2000.portable.linux.tgz ~/.foobar2000
