The test results you have selected are very old and may not represent the current state of Wine.
Selected Test Results (selected in 'Test Results' table below)
What works
Audio playback, tagging, saving playlists, most general features.
What does not
Can't drag files onto it, you have to manually add them via the "open" button which is a pain. Unsure if it can scan your audio library for it to compile its own, might work if you put all your files in C drive? Doesn't seem to support iPod connectivity either.
What was not tested
Some more advanced features like equalisers and stuff, I see no reason why they wouldn't work though.
Additional Comments
I gave it a Gold rating because the majority of this software works great, it's just the little things that are annoying. I would be using foobar if the drag function worked!
Admin note: rating changed to conform to the rating definitions.
The beta version of foobar2000 uses Directsound by default, which can cause some problems when playing music. In order to get the program to play music properly, you must set the Hardware Acceleration to emulate Directsound. Go to a terimal and type in "winecfg". A window will open with options for you to modify. Click on the Audio tab, and then look for "Hardware Acceleration". It is currently on "Full". Click on it, and you will have a list of options. Click on "Emulation", and then click on "Apply". foobar2000 should now be able to play music. Note that this will make foobar2000 version 0.8.3 give out an error when you try to play an audio file. Just change it back to "Full" in winecfg when you're done using foobar2000 version 0.9 beta.
Using below command to launch foobar2000, or just prefix the launch command in the shortcut with padsp
padsp wine foobar2000.exe
P.S. This workaround may crash pulseaudio.
WARNING
If you have a LARGE music library foobar2000 may hang while attempting to load it, which may freeze your computer for a short while. During this time, do NOT interrupt the process.

No status bar refresh

Foobar's status bar won't be refreshed while playing.
On uncovering the window, it also won't be. Only after de-minimizing of the window it will get refreshed.
Foobar V0.9.6.4

"Open Containing Folder" crash

If you right click on a song and select "Open Containing Folder", program crashes and popups me if I want to send a report or view a report, if I click on "View Report", the program crash definitely.
Anyway, it saves the report in program folder, here's the report:
