Hi there, fred_frno,

While searching for tips and tweaks on getting foobar to work under wine, I stumbled upon this thread. The title of the thread looked (and still looks) very promissing. It's just a pitty not a single person has contributed to it. Well, I'm currently in the midst of getting foobar working on my Ubuntu machine (using Ubuntu 6.06 aka Dapper Drake) and I've just installed wine version 0.9.27 (I believe one of the latest ones). I've also downloaded (and installed!) foobar 0.9.4.2 (latest).

The installation went smoothly (cmd line: wine foobar2000_0.9.2.4.exe), opting for a Normal (not Custom, or one of the other options) and I've told wine (via winecfg) to use the ALSA sound driver. I've just loaded my library. I also activated the album list (also worked flawlessly). And, lo and behold, I've actually doubled clicked on one of the songs in my list and.... Sound! Sweet sound!

I'll keep people posted on my further adventures in foobar2000-meets-Linux/wine land.

Musical regards,

Rob

I've tried using Linux many time over the past few years, but always come back to windows because of one program I can't find a Linux alternative for: foobar2000. After using foobar for so long, there is just no program out there that can replace it for me.

Last time I tried it about a year ago, it would work OK, but not at all good enough to use regularly. Columns_ui wouldn't work at all. I'm not sure if the current versions work any better, but I doubt it. Foobar without columns_ui is kind of pointless at this point...

The sound would also skip and crackle whenever I tried to do anything else with my computer, such as browse the internet, or talk on IRC. The only way for it to play smoothly, is if I just let it run without touching anything else.

Anyways, as soon as foobar with columns_ui I'm switching back to linux.

Hi there, nbv4,

I understand your frustration; wouldn't it be nice....? I think the idea of this particular thread is to share tips and tweaks with other foobar/Linux users. The fact that column_ui isn't working is very useful information, but only if you specify which versions of Linux, foobar and columns_ui this refers to. You see, milages do vary. So, could you please post that info?

Thanks,
Rob

P.S. In the mean time, I'll try and see if I can get columns_ui running on my Linux setup, as I understand that it's been a while since you last tried....

Well, just installing the .dll (contained in foo_ui_columns-0.1.3-beta1v7.7z) does certainly not work on my system. Perhaps I need to install extra libraries, but I'm completely clueless as to which libraries (probably some MS C/C++ stuff....?) Anyone?

Still, the basic foobar2000 works.

I've heard that winex works much better for foobar... maybe you could give it a shot with that...

foo_ui_column does indeed make fb2k crash, but before that you can see it briefly launched.

I supposed it's the unimplemented API RealChildWindowFromPoint() that make it crash.

Here's the trace from wine:

Also if you can't load some plugins because fb2k complain a dependency is missing, launch
it under a console and look at the trace. It will print the missing DLLs. Usually just copy the missing DLLs from a Windows install, in your fb2k install directory and it will work. For example for foo_discogs you need to copy windows/system32/gdiplus.dll. I also notice a few component link dynamycally with the C library, instead of statically as they should. In that case copy MSVCP80.dll in fb2k directory.

I have sound skipping as described as soon as I use the machine for something, but I'm sure it just a matter of configuring audio on wine side.
