Foobar2000 actually works pretty well under WINE, I'm not having any problems with it.
DeadBeef, soon to be default on Lubuntu, seems like a good choice:

Real alternative is foobnix music player.

Perhaps my reply is a bit late, but after looking for a while for a suitable replacement for foobar2000 I ended up with QuodLibet (http://code.google.com/p/quodlibet/). It looks quite similar to foobar, and more importantly recognizes all my tags (including multiple genres).
why dont you try atunes?!

Im very new on linux but will try this one later on. I adore this player on windows...
I wonder how foobar runs under wine vs. fx. deadbeef in terms of resource usage? I'm gonna try it too, thanks for the info! A similar looking (minimalist) music player I've used a little is lxmusic, to be default music player of LXDE. At least it was, but it isn't updated much currently: http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXMusic (written by the dev of PCManFM)
There isn't really a Foobar2000 replacement for Linux. There are some great players, and everyone has a favorite, but none of them have the complete package of high audio quality, ability to handle enormous collections, gapless playback, replay gain, customized interface, low resource usage, tag handling, file management, Last.fm scrobbling, and plug ins to do just about anything else you could want.
Deadbeef and Quodlibet are both promising projects, but I'm not sold on either.
The most frustrating part of the no-Foobar-on-Linux discussion is that Foobar2000 feels like a Linux application -- it's a barebones base program that does one thing extraordinarily well (play music), but is created to allow for adding in whatever other features you could possibly want.

I like audacious, but ubuntu/debian do a poor job at keeping it updated, so I end up compiling my own.
To make gstreamer apps (like quodL and foobnix) sound better, check out the delta and bs2b plugins: http://decatf.wordpress.com/2010/11/...pening-plugin/
