The problem (at least for me) is input format support.
Assorted foobar2000 plugins support every obscure tracker format, every obscure video game music format (.vgz, etc.), and then foo_midi lets you render MIDIs not just with Soundfonts but with whatever VSTi DLLs you like. Also support for music files in ZIP files as well as music files in ZIP files in ZIP files (don't ask). That's hard to compete with.

- tredre3 2y ago> Here in Unix I can just mount archives and disk images. This is so true! And it's much easier than just having the music player support zip files. Especially for zip-in-zip like GP described. Can you imagine double clicking an archive and have it play, rather than simply do: cd Downloads/ ls mkdir tmp mount-zip myfile.zip tmp ls tmp mkdir tmp2 mount-zip tmp/myinnerfile.zip tmp2 audacious --new-instance tmp2 --play while killall -0 audacious; do sleep 1 done umount tmp2 umount tmp rmdir tmp2 tmp
