I used a modded Foobar2000 for so long that being forced to use the base one on MacOS has taught me how fucking garbage it is.
I am so sick of OSS software, lmao.
Yes. Foobar2000 itself isn't OSS, it just happens to depend heavily on mods that are FOSS/OSS and get uploaded to its component repository. Whether Foobar2000 is OSS or not was not the point I was trying to make: it was that people ship an honestly dogshit base product and then expect mods/OSS/etc. to clean it up and make it actually usable.
Foobar2000 is unusable at its base. Being forced to use that base because my platform is woefully unsupported -- even if I could hack up all the OSS mods with the available Foobar2000 SDK -- means I get to experience all the shit I was able to patch away through the power of OSS. I would rather pay for software developed by people competent to do the job than whatever zombie amalgamation I keep getting from OSS/FOSS offerings.
It's my fault for depending on extensively modified software to fit my purpose. That's on me. I need to get more shit that's ready-made off the shelf. I don't have the lifespan to keep doing surgical additions and removals and checkups on my technology. There is better shit I need to be doing with my time, and fixing up my music library for the 50th time ain't it.
In the meantime, though, I've just not been listening to music nearly as much as I would otherwise. The quiet has been noticeably bad but it's nothing I can't find some youtube video to patch over with.
