I used to run foobar2000 in wine, because no other linux media player scratched some of the itches foobar covered. There is even a foobar2000 package in the arch aur so it simply installs like any other pacman managed program.

However, once I learned of the wine interface that is available on flathub (for flatpak) I immediately removed wine and its 32 bit components from my system- now that untidyness is neatly contained within flatpak dependencies.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't flatpak'd wine solve this issue?



Yes, fb2k is the one Windows-only app I just can't let go. The library management, plugins, UI, extensibility, and configurability are just simply unmatched by anything else out there. I likes my music the way I likes it.


I'm using Clementine (qt) as a replacement, it's working very nicely :)

I was sure that was a placeholder for you to avoid naming the program until one of the other replies to this comment seemed to confirm that it was in fact an actual name of a program.


Yes, except now instead of one horrifically over complicated package manager you now have to have two.
