Pros & Cons

Unique Foobar integration enabling Android remote control of a desktop Foobar2000 setup
Playlist-focused with support for adding tracks and detailed track info
Layout customization for the playlist and player view to suit user preferences
Free to use and accessible via Android devices

Competitors often emphasize generic control and playback capabilities using keywords like control, play, media, and playback, which Foobar Link does not foreground in its listing.
Lack of broad platform-wide keywords (e.g., pc, Windows, Mac) compared to some competitors.

Comments on Foobar Link for Android

★★★★★ Mihai Savu · Dec 4, 2025

Library search and volume control are great features. Also, the album cover display. Thank you!

★★★★★ %username% · Jan 3, 2026

Please add song ratings (for example in my fb2k I use 'repeat(get_global(symbol_rating),$if3(%rating%, $meta(rating))) get_global(special_color2) $repeat(get_global(symbol_rating), $sub(5,$if3(%rating%, $meta(rating))))'), oled theme and cover settings. Also, I wish for songs without covers we could set a custom dummy cover or inherit it from foobar's dummy cover image (I use a PNG image with alpha channel)

★★★★★ Guilherme Pereira · Jul 14, 2026

Excellent alternative to control Foobar remotely. Nice and intuitive UI, with modern design and personalization options. I'd give it 6 stars if I could.

★★★★☆ Eli Gad Barbie · Aug 1, 2026

Remove from Playlist works but add to a Playlist has no effect. Please fix. Thanks

★★☆☆☆ Jon Sands · Sep 14, 2026

Works, but buggy. For instance, volume control over foobar completely stops working if your orientation ever goes landscape. Even if you rotate back to portrait, it stays broken. With multiple servers added it occasionally freaks out and starts showing tracks of both of them, cycling the media player in the notification bar extremely rapidly reply to dev: yes, there is issues. Launching the app when phone is in landscape breaks volume, switching to another app which goes landscape breaks it, etc
