Is there a particular draw for foobar2000? I remember a while back I was looking for a music player and that kept coming up, but I found it underwhelming when trying it. I’ve been using MusicBee for a long while now, and have found it excellent, so I don’t plan on switching, just curious if there’s something I’m missing.

Back in the 90s, when Winamp was the only game in town, many of us got tired of messing with the interface to make it useable and efficient. Foobar pretty much was plain Jane vanilla, looked like any other window and had the basics so you could do other stuff and not fuss with the horrendous skin.

After all, you’re typically listening to it, not looking at it, which was the point for me. Winamp’s tiny buttons and such drove me mad.

Just familiarity for me.
