as far as windows apps there's nothing i'm a big fan of these days. zune was good but has been abandoned, itunes is horrid, foobar is alright but doesn't work the way i want it to, same with musicbee, clementine is meh, mediamonkey is fugly, same with winamp. I usually just use Spotify because it's easy and I'm lazy, but it sucks with local files so I'll whip out MusicBee for that

i've tried a bunch of different skins and extensions and stuff to change the ui, and they only ever look good or work okay, not both. even still the columns facets ui is the closest extension i've found to how i want it to work, but even then i still don't like the queuing system, and with columns facets ui you basically can't skin it

WELL I DECIDED TO GIVE FOOBAR ANOTHER FUCKING TRY AND I FUCKING HATE COMPUTERS AND FOOBAR IS A GIANT PIECE OF SHIT

The Hand That Fisted Everyone

ive tried to find good foobar skins but every one of them is from 2009 and are not supported anymore.

foobar plays all the file types tho (or u can make it play all the file types) and it looks better than vlc player

yes i'll agree with most of that but you can also skin vlc and it actually functions properly with the skins

Daddy
