Ask Slashdot: Best FLOSS iTunes Replacement In 2013?

First time accepted submitter cs80 writes "I've been looking high and low for a decent, open-source, cross-platform audio player that can import an existing iTunes library and sort my files based on their ID3 tags. Nightingale, with its iTunes-like interface, would have been the obvious answer, but its file organization feature was pulled for being too buggy. What open-source audio player did you migrate to after dumping iTunes?"

iTunes

just give up, like the rest of us...

An ugly spreadsheet that plays music.

Wow. Replacing that is going to be a tall order.

Replace iTunes???

You could probably go out and get a homeless person and just hand them all of your music. Just tell them to do whatever they want with it. It'll be a better interface, and at least someone will know where the hell all of your music is.

Re:Foobar 2000

In 8 years of use, I've never had foobar2000 crash, so I suspect you were either using an unstable component or you're not being truthful.

Indeed, because your truth isn't anecdotal, and the rest of us just come here to waste time telling lies.

I've used foobar200 for 8.1 years, and I've managed to launch 4 nuclear missiles with it, had it send an elephant to the moon, and just used it yesterday to bake a cheesecake. I, too, have never had it crash, but there was a near miss once on an Antarctic cruise.

cheers,
