I have been contributing a little bit to this nice player, and it now has full support for WavPack on Linux:

• cue sheets
• ReplayGain
• all integer and float data types
• multichannel
• correction files
• embedded cover art

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.

If you are not satisfied with any of the *nix players then foobar2000 works almost perfectly well under recent Wine. I've tested with standard GUI and lots of plugins. Converter as well (you need the windows versions of the commandline encoders for that, available from Rarewares and others). The only thing I found that don't work are CD player, that simply don't work, and the context menu option "open containing folder" that crashes the player. Otherwise it's fine...
As *nix players goes aqualung and deadbeef shows promising tendencies. But foobar2000 is the only windows programs I use these days, so it's nice it works swell under Wine. EAC I replaced with rubyripper (with wavpack as custom encoder).

Not true. I've used pretty much every Ubuntu, currently on the 11.10 beta, and each of them crashes with Foobar.

Most problems are with the listboxes in the media library - they don't refresh correctly, and eventually crash the app. I used to have a problem with conversion too where all the files created had null samples throughout, but I haven't seen that.

Either way, I can't reliably use FB for converting my files to single flac per-album with embedded cue, so I use XP in a VM instead.

Am I doing something wrong?

I use Ubuntu 8.04 x64 (at work, I have Win7 at home) with default Wine version and Foobar 0.9.6.9 and it works normally. Except when I once changed the system date/time while the playback was running - it made the playback halt (playback just wouldn't advance) - until I rebooted the entire OS.
