Jeff Mills is basically a master musician who has perfected his craft over a lifetime, just as a violinist or pianist would. It just so happens that his musical instrument is turntables.

When I go I go hard. All perfectly tagged and replaygained ready to go. So far I definitely prefer the older stuff. Newer is a bit more minimal and atmospheric. But I can definitely hear detroit in the older stuff.
Foobar is great. Used it for a decade at least possibly two. It and the discogs tagging plugin was my go-to for organizing my library of ripped or downloaded files. So much so that I even went to the trouble initially of getting it to run under Linux with wine.
The player however is a fork of Clementine called strawberry. It is available for Windows as well as Mac and Linux. It has plugins and configurability. But not quite on the scale of what Foobar 2000 can do. But if you are looking for a cross-platform software for Library management. It’s right up there with foobar. It comes with the music brains tagger built in. Though I still use their separate application picard. Because it exposes options a bit easier Etc. And best of all it can handle my whole library even over NFS.
At the moment I have let my OCD get the better of me and decided that I would prefer to have everything in largely one, more modern format and fix some of the old tagging and file naming. So I am re-ripping CDs into opus at 160 kbps. Which is well above what’s generally considered transparent. And converting flacs Etc.
Technically there was no soul seeking lol. Just a little nicotine+. Which is a python backed front end to slsk.
I use MusicBee for my files. I got tired of Foobar 2000 because I was always futzing with the settings and updating skins. Furthermore, I will give Strawberry a try. Out of curiosity, Why use nicotine+ over slsk?
Oh wait I do remember music Bee. I looked at it briefly back in 2014? When I was still using Windows. But I think I was too invested in my current workflow at the time to try to figure out if it could fill it. That and I remember some silliness when I added the full Tb worth of files from the NAS. Not sure if it was SMB or the hundreds of thousands of files. It could have been either honestly.
But definitely, foobar and creating your own layouts gets tricky fast. I created one about 15 years ago and saved it. That way I could just reapply it every time I had to reinstall over the years or upgraded to a new system. Because I didn’t want to have to mess with it again LOL

@Eldritch@lemmy.world this is a good couple of links to start; the first showcases his technical virtuosity, and his second shows his roots.

Which player is that? I want to say Foobar 2000, but I don’t think so.
Did you seek your soul?

I’d not heard of musicbee. The qt version of slsk was lacking for some time. These days though it’s pretty on par, so it’s more a matter of habit.
It handles large libraries well, and is user-friendly compared to FB 2000.

I tried Linux on an old laptop about 15 years ago but I didn’t like it. Why did you stop using Windows for Linux.
woah! getting serious there! check out that video of him mixing them together tho, that’s the final outcome.
