This is frankly one of the areas of Linux that I'm most disappointed about. I tried a number of these options for local players and found them all to be terrible. Especially considering that I really like the specific layout I've used for well over a decade on Foobar2000. I actually ended up installing Foobar2000 through Wine because of my frustration, only to find that it wouldn't start reliably.

Foobar2000 is ... tricky through WINE. Though I will proudly say that I did it, it took a lot of research into obscure wine configs. These are my notes from last time I did it, maybe you'll find them helpful:

  ```bash
  export WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/.wine-foobar2000  
  winetricks allfonts  
  for packg in vcrun2003 vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2010 vcrun2012 vcrun2013 vcrun2015 vcrun2017 vcrun2019 vcrun2022; do winetricks -q $packg; done 
  winecfg # Set Windows version to 11
  ```
