strawberry VS deadbeef

Assuming you mean the pre-2.0 Amarok, you might be interested in Strawberry: https://www.strawberrymusicplayer.org/

It's a a fork of a fork of the old Amarok, supporting more features and modern support while retaining the original UI.

Strawberrry (https://www.strawberrymusicplayer.org/) is the fork, but I don't think it will do everything you want as far as plugins go. I would also like something that is Clementine but not 7 years out of date.

That doesn't always work on a Mac, so you might want to grab it's forked project, Strawberry (this is what I use on my Mac) -> https://www.strawberrymusicplayer.org

If you use Clementine, I highly recommend Strawberry, it's a fork of Clementine which is updated more often, has a lot of bugfixes and QoL that I enjoy.

Strawberry for listening to audio files.

Winamp! Yes, it's a stupid option that wastes battery life, but I'm quite happy running my trusty old Winamp through Parallels. Been using it forever, and see no reason to switch. I've tried a bunch of MacOS native apps, but have never really been happy with them in the past. Strawberry shows promise though. I've had my eye on that one. I might give it another try: https://www.strawberrymusicplayer.org/

I use navidrome[1], its a music streaming server you can selfhost and then use a player that supports the subsonic api for playback. I use the strawberry music player on my desktop and substreamer[2] on android. Navidrome can also scrobble your music to last.fm if you tell it to.

this was my personal 'want' from deadbeef that felt a little awkward https://github.com/DeaDBeeF-Player/deadbeef/issues/2365 (recently added and recently played playlists). it may be doable with plugins or some shell scripting perhaps

I know not everyone is into this hobby. However, if you want to play dsf files, this article covers lots of Linux Players (and devices that use Linux). MPD (Media Player Daemon) seems to be a popular option for most of the devices and distributions mentioned in the article. However, if you want to try a player that does not require you to install various packages with root access, Deadbeef seems to work properly.

Deadbeef, maybe? This one is the most similar to foobar2k from what I tried (yeah I miss it too).

Deadbeef is the most feature rich player on Linux that doesn't look like an eyesore, imo.

DeaDBeeF is the closest.

Nah. They were removed and are no longer found in the repository's locale directory.

DeadBeef - Only possible with a plugin that is not obvious to a new user and easily misable
