In Winamp: A fast, flexible, high-fidelity music player for Windows (1998)So close! I just built it from source and had a look at it. I've been looking for years to find a proper Foobar2000 replacement for Linux. This one is tantalizingly close, with the design mode and all. But it lacks the one thing that I have yet to find in any other audio player than Foobar2000: the music library tree view with its searching, sorting, and filtering capabilities - especially the ability to search, sort, or filter on any tag, including user-defined ones.
There's a "playlist browser" widget, but it's only for playlists.
EDIT2: One very cool feature: it can automatically set ReplayGain by track or album mode depending on how the playlist is sorted.
If you build it from source, aside from the usual "which dev libraries do I need" dance to enable features and plugins, you also need to install clang and libdispatch-dev. Deadbeef

EDIT: For the most part, I use Clementine. While it doesn't search/sort on user-defined tags, it otherwise does most of what I need.
deadbeef (https://github.com/DeaDBeeF-Player/deadbeef) tries to be a foobar2k clone of sorts, and while it's nowhere close (foobar2k is just really damn good), it's alright for what it is: a basic GUI playlist manager that plays on-disk music.
The bare-bones experience is kind of nice, to be honest, as my listening habits don't really need much functionality beyond "load a folder of music, respond to media key inputs, and scrobble to last.fm".
