From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For context, LDAC is one of the few wireless audio codecs stamped Hi-Res by the Japan Audio Society and its encoder is open source since Android 8, so you can see just how long Windows is sleeping on this. I'm excited about the incoming next gen called LC3plus, my next pair is definitely gonna have that.

does it support foobar2000 plugins?

probably not, since those are windows dlls. So here's a short list of what I'd want from a fb2k replacement:

  • a UI plugin with the power and flexibility of Facets/Refacets
  • browse library by folder structure OR tags (most only do one or the other)
  • powerful query language to actually find what I'm looking for
  • binaural stereo for headphones plugin
  • convolver
  • convert to opus and replaygain scanning
  • DR Meter
  • handle my >100k tracks library without constantly crashing or being incredibly slow

Most alternatives I've tried can't even deliver on half of those.
