Audacious is pretty slick (especially with this latest release), but lacks the features that foobar2000 has that I need (namely, a directory/folder view that can replace the active playlist when clicked).

If anyone is looking for a decent foobar2000 alternative, Foobnix (https://github.com/foobnix/foobnix) has worked really well for me. It has some rough edges and doesn't seem (that) actively maintained, but it gets the important stuff right. Haven't come across anything else quite like it for Linux yet, unfortunately.

If there was a foobar-like folder view plugin for Audacious, I'd switch to it in a heartbeat.

I just run foobar2000 under wine. The font rendering is a bit iffy (some lines of text get clipped horizontally and vertically, as if the calculated dimensions are smaller than the rendered dimensions), but it doesn't bother me enough to investigate.

That said, most of my music listening these days has been pointing mpv at an internet radio steam.

Yeah, foobar2000 has worked well under Wine for me in the past. It doesn't work as well when playing music from my NAS via NFS, though..
