• cue sheets
• ReplayGain
• all integer and float data types

It's awesome to see that there is a lot of competition between great media players on Linux again. A few years ago, Amarok was the only one with this level of features.

Thanx alot. I recently started using Linux on my desktop, and while I like some things better than Windows what is really lacking is a good audio player. Despite the many options available, nothing comes close to foobar2000.

I totally agree with you, but I still have hope that in a few years, we will have a great, open source and multiplatform audio player to replace foobar2000.

In a sort of sarcastic tone: People should stop buying anything iApple for that to happen.
(the "multiplatform" part is self-evident why Apple is against it,
next, open-source is only endorsed by Apple when Apple directly benefits from it (Webkit, BSD,...),
and the "great audio-player" part... The moment it starts being important, it may get a "duplicates an OS feature" tag.)
