Sayonara ~ Lightweight Linux Player
Sayonara is a small, clear and fast audio player for Linux written in C++, supported by the Qt framework. It uses GStreamer as audio backend. Sayonara is open source and uses the GPLv3 license. One of Sayonara’s goals is intuitive and easy usability. Currently, it is only available for Linux and BSD. Although Sayonara can be considered as a lightweight player, it has a lot of features in order to organize even big music collections. In contrast to the heavyweight players, the main focus of Sayonara is performance, low CPU usage and low memory consumption. Sayonara is a great alternative to players like Rhythmbox, Clementine or Amarok. Those who miss Winamp for Linux should give Sayonara a try.
Managing your library: You can manage your library by artists, albums, genres or file paths. Sayonara contains a sophisticated tag editor helping you to keep your collection clean. You can hold multiple playlists simultaneously, save/rename/delete or export them to common playlist file formats. With the multi library feature you can manage multiple directories as stand-alone libraries and copy and move tracks from one to another. There are even more complex library plugins like Soundcloud or SomaFM support.
Directory view: Some people don’t have a perfect tagged library and are more interested in the directory structure of their libraries. Sayonara provides various features to access and edit your music in the directory view.
Plugins: In addition, there are some useful plugins helping to enhance your comfort while listening. Some interesting plugins are the equalizer, a speed/pitch control, a crossfader, bookmarks for tracks and a broadcasting function.
Webstreams and Podcasts: You can record all tracks streamed from the internet. Your saved tracks automatically tagged, of course. When listening to ordinary webstreams, a history of all played tracks can be displayed. If webstreams or podcasts contain some chapter information, Sayonara also uses this information in order to provide fast jumping within these tracks.

Soft Playlists ~ Foobar & Last.fm
Can create different Last.fm related playlists:
- loved tracks of a single user, multiple users, friends or neighbours.
- recent tracks of a single user, multiple users, friends or neighbours.
- top tracks of a single user, multiple users, friends or neighbours over different periods.
- top tracks of an artist.
- top tracks of artists similar to an artist.
- top tracks with certain tag.
- tracks similar to a track.
Can also…
- love, unlove, ban and unban a track on your Last.fm account.
- add a track to a custom playlist on your Last.fm account.
- save and load XSPF playlists (make playlists without hard paths). This makes it possible to easily share playlists with other people. Also when you restructure your library (change location of your music files), these playlists will continue to work.

Integrating Last.fm with Foobar2000 Using Soft Playlists
Step 1: Install Soft Playlists
Begin by downloading the foo_softplaylists component from the foobar2000 website. Once downloaded, open foobar2000 and navigate to File → Preferences → Components → Install…, then select the downloaded .fb2k-component file. Restart foobar2000 to activate the plugin. This component enables you to generate dynamic playlists directly from your Last.fm data.
Step 2: Connect Your Last.fm Account
After installation, go to Preferences → Tools → Soft Playlists → Last.fm. Enter your Last.fm username and password to authorize the connection. Once you are logged in, the plugin can fetch your loved tracks, recent plays, top tracks, and tag-based data.
Step 3: Creating Loved Tracks Playlists
Soft Playlists can generate playlists of tracks in your library that are marked as loved on Last.fm. Simply create a new playlist, Open the Library Menu and choose the “Loved Tracks” option, and the plugin will match these tracks with your local files and create a new playlist. You can now play or sort these loved tracks directly from foobar2000.
Step 4: Generating Top Tracks Playlists
You can also create playlists based on top tracks from your Last.fm account, your friends, or neighbors. Select the “Top Tracks” option and filter by user, artist, or tag. This allows you to automatically build playlists of your most-played tracks, popular tracks by similar artists, or tracks labeled with specific moods or genres.
Step 5: Recent Tracks Playlists
Soft Playlists supports recent tracks queries from Last.fm. You can generate playlists of your most recently played tracks or recent tracks from other users. This is ideal for keeping up to date with current listening trends.
Additional Features:
Soft Playlists allows you to save sharable playlists in XSPF format, which keeps them portable and resilient to file location changes. The plugin also lets you love or unlove tracks directly from foobar2000, updating your Last.fm account automatically. This integration creates a seamless workflow between your local library and Last.fm.
Adding a toolbar button to love a track:
- Right click the Foobar2000 toolbar and select “
Customize Buttons...“ - In the
Available Commands Panel, open “Context Menu” and then “Last.fm” - Select
"Last.fm Love Track” and click the “Add” button then click “Ok” - Change the button icon to a Last.fm icon (.ico file)
Tips and Considerations
Soft Playlists is an older 32bit component. The plugin works best if most of your Last.fm scrobbled tracks are present in your local library. For more advanced integration, consider combining Soft Playlists with Spider Monkey Panel scripts to pull additional data, such as playcounts, tags, or charts.
foo_random_pools ~ Random Autoplaylists
Another type of Foobar2000’s playlists are randomly generated autoplaylists where songs, or groups of songs, are selected randomly from a pool of the same. By predefining a subset of a media library, “pools” of refined selections can be created and then drawn from.
foo_random_pools is a foobar2000 component for creating random playlist entries selected and grouped by various pool definitions.
www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_random_pools
Let’s say you want a playlist of random blues albums from your library.
- First you’ll need to install the foo_random_pools component.
- After you’ve installed foo_random_pools, you’ll need to set up a pool in the File > Preferences > Tools > Random pools sub-menu.

- You’ll need to select the “Add …” button which brings up the Random pool criteria form.
For example to make a pool of blues albums use the following criteria:
Name: Album – All Blues
Group: %album artist% – %date% – %album%
Determine probability for picking groups …: Unchecked
Number of groups to add: 1
Filter: (NOT %album artist% IS “Various Artists”) AND (%genre% HAS Blues)
Filter with the content of the target playlist: Unchecked
Number of tracks to add: 0
Number of minutes to add: 0
Number of MBs to add: 0
Limit after sorting: Unchecked
Sort: %path%
Sort / limit each group: Checked
Priority: 10
- Now you have to link pools to a playlist by specifying a name in the Autoadd section’s Playlist patterns field of the Random pools preferences menu.

- Create a new playlist, File>New Playlist Ctrl+N, and name it “Random Blues Album” and then select and display it.
- To add a random blues album to the playlist, select File > Random pools > Album – All Blues. Each time it’s selected, another random blues album will be added to the playlist.
