Adobe products, for example. Or any of other of miriad of other products which have only Win/MacOS and no Linux support.
And, no, Wine cannot run anything.
You see, I don't need OS at all, I need applications. Some of these applications are "universal" (FireFox, for example), some has good equivalents, and some are unique to OS.
And, no, DarkTable, or RAW Therappe are not equivalent to Lightroom or Capture One. And no, there is no equivalent to foobar2000 among music players.
Nope, UI for mpd shows that there is 11093 albums in my collection, but first several screens of Albums is all sequences of `?`. Very useful. Number itself doesn't looks right, my estimation is at least half of this number, maybe less.
On the other hand same client shows only 6391 files, which is waaaay to small number if 1 file = 1 track. Ok, there is a lot of image + CUE albums, I wonder, is it 2 files or one?
So it is useless, unfortunately. foobar2000 allows me add folder / file set to playlist and start listening. With system "Artist/Year - Album" on the file system it is easy and convenient. Tags could be broken, but all mys music is here and I always know where to look for what I want to listen now.
When I've tried MPD last time (about 2 years ago, to be honest) it failed to play wv.iso format, and I have this abomination in my collection.
Also, it is not very good with broken tags, MP3 tags in local codepages (different for different albums!), etc.
You cannot imagine what can be seen in the wild when it is musical collection started in 1995!
Heck, I'm downloading mpd for windows right now and I'll try to add my collection into it. But I'm not holding my breath, all previous attempts to import my collection in any software failed for 15-20% of collection (different ones for different software).
