Looks great, foobar2000 was my player of choice many years ago on Windows.
But these days I prefer the simplicity of mpv even for audio. It supports most audio formats, M3U playlists and HTTP, since I don't keep music locally anymore, and shows metadata and album art just fine, with a consistent UI across platforms and very lightweight on resources. Turns out I don't need much more than that.
It's even extensible with Lua, so scrobbling is also supported: https://github.com/l29ah/w3crapcli/blob/master/last.fm/mpv-l... .
mpv also works fine as an image viewer if you don't view many high-res photographs (I don't).

Well, I have the perfect solution for you. :) It's not a deadbeef plugin, but a user daemon that can load the track information from any player and can submit to Last.fm, Libre.fm and ListenBrainz.
The project is on github[1] and I believe it's packaged for Archlinux, Fedora, openSUSE.

There's [Strawberry Music Player](https://www.strawberrymusicplayer.org/), a fork of Clementine, apparently created due to Clementine's inactivity. I've used it on and off on MacOS, but had some nasty locks which crashed the application.
But speaking of Clementine: I'm amazed that development seems to have picked up again, [commits are happening](https://github.com/clementine-player/Clementine)! Last time I checked the repo it was silent.
What kind of storage was that library on? We have users with 100, 150k files who are largely happy.
If you can replicate this on a new release (4.4.0 was out recently), please file a bug! [1]
