Funny, I was JUST looking for a Foobar-like equivalent for MacOS. I'll have to try this out later. I use Roon for daily use at home, but having a network-free local player that supports everything I play at native bit and sample rate is a huge plus.

Why not Foobar itself?
- socalgal2 11d ago
  I use Foobar on my iPhone. The features it's missing for me 1. I often want to play a single song and then go back to random - it doesn't have this. If I pick song it's now going to play that song forever and I have to go back and manually pick "random tracks" 2. This is probably just a variant of the first but it would be great to be able to pick "Add to head/tail of que" so I could add 2 or 3 songs I want to hear and then have it go back to random tracks 3. It has no ability to sort by date added. I added 20 tracks recently. I can't find them. This has go me wanting to vibe-code (for myself) a music player app. Unfortunately I'm on iPhone where I need a dev account and where the longest I can install it is 1 year.

    Try emailing the dev sometime. You wouldnt believe how many times I was able to nudge app app devs with small tweaks or feature requests (even some rather substantial ones) that showed up in the next few updates that maxe up for the trouble of getting their contact and shooting off a quick heartfelt email

By the way, what can you tell about Roon as an active user? It costs as much as Qobuz, but it’s your responsibility to fill up your library and provide infrastructure - which is weird. Sure, it sponsors musicbrainz and lastfm for metadata and puts some nice UI, gets buddies in HiFi manufacturers, but what else?.. I’m very surprised that Roon does UNPnP for own port, potentially exposing home network through some zerodays. For that money it has to do reverse tunneling or something like that.
