    Looks nice, starred it so I might remember when I get the parts for my ThinkPad that (hopefully) will resurrect it (no screen, no booting, beeps that either indicate "motherboard failure", or "failure of some other kind), CPU temperature control seems to work at least, one of the worst coil whine that seems to be temperature dependent -> this indicates me some kind of capacitor failure).

    Yeah it's a real bummer that Foobar2000 doesn't run natively on Linux, but I've heard it runs well through WINE. The same can't be said of MusicBee though, which even WINE can't get running smoothly on Linux. Honestly, MusicBee and Exact Audio Copy are the only pieces of Windows software I've yet to find a native Linux alternative for that I'm satisfied with.

    Edit: Apparently nowadays MusicBee runs better through WINE than it used to? I'll have to try it out.

    MusicBee works perfectly via Wine, and it's a major part of my digital library. Without MusicBee my MP3 player would be worth 1/10 for me.

    But you can't just take the installer and double click it, you need to follow these steps (naturally replace the directories):

    Install Wine Staging and Winetricks

    Create prefix for MusicBee and .NET

    Bash:

    WINEPREFIX=/home/kadupse/Wine/MusicBee/ wineboot –init 
    

    Install .NET 4.0 and corefonts

    Bash:

    WINEPREFIX=/home/kadupse/Wine/MusicBee/ winetricks --force dotnet40 corefonts
    

    Install xmllite and gdiplus

    Bash:

    WINEPREFIX=/home/kadupse/Wine/MusicBee/ winetricks xmllite gdiplus
    

     
    Set Wine to Windows 7 compatibility mode

    Bash:

    WINEPREFIX=/home/kadupse/Wine/MusicBee/ winetricks win7 
    

    Install .NET 4.8

    Bash:

    WINEPREFIX=/home/kadupse/Wine/MusicBee/  wine $HOME/Downloads/ndp48-x86-x64-allos-enu.exe /q 
    

    Install Music Bee

    Bash:

    WINEPREFIX=/home/kadupse/Wine/MusicBee/  wine $HOME/Downloads/MusicBeeSetup_3_6.exe 
    

    Downloads needed:
    This specific version of the .NET Framework installer

    You might see warnings about WoW64 mode, experimental flags, etc, just ignore them and keep going and MusicBee will work.
