superbly make me love it!
Foobar plays most formats, and as the review says, there are loads of add-on components so it can handle ape, dts etc etc. <br/> <br/>So as a player, it plays. But then so do many other players like winamp or vlc. <br/> <br/>The killer part of Foobar200 for me is that it can bulk convert between formats. Basically, anything it can play, it can convert. I use it to transcode all my sould cloips to mp3 320k, and that makes them most likely to play on mac linux or handhelds. <br/> <br/>It'll quietly get on with working its way through a long long list, you just set it up, set it going by right clicking a selction of files, and leave it alone to get on with it. It'll report back errors at the end, not that there are many. <br/> <br/>I have just transcoded a LARGE bunch of flacs and m4a's to mp3 with only a couple of errors due to flac corruption: the originals wouldn't properly play anyway, I later found out.
I used 2 love my winamp until I tried this program. A+ Gets the job done!
v0.9.5 Beta 3 works great on Windows and with Wine on Linux. It still uses low CPU and memory.
Can you aswer me why foobar don't work with win98
So good! Have used it since 0.8.3 and currently on 9.4.2. Best audio player out there.
Works great in the backround. It uses a low amount of the CPU and memory.
Why Oh Why did it take so long to find this software??
Whatever player you're using at the moment, bin it and use this.
Clean front end, easy to use, low system use and above all real high quality playback.
Very impressive equalizer built in and a number of plug-ins available on line as well.
Get the most from your PC sound system, use Foobar 2000
Minimal use of resources and great sound. It's the Perfect player. Bye Winamp.
If only the world were so good!
This is what windows SHOULD have come with!
Would like GUI volumn/mute controls, but the sound is awesome with Cambridge Soundworks 2.1 speaker system or LTB 5.1 headpones. All the musical elements are clear, distinct and powerful. Highly reccomend to anyone who wants quality over scenery in an audio player.

best music player ever...
there is a learning curve involved with the program if you want to customise it, but its very rewarding in the end.
It have had some gui plugin (foo_tunes), but i haven't tested it (on screens looked good). I heard they stopped distributing it, because of bugs (was unstable).
i wish something similar was developed.
For filw mavens who use more than .mp3, this little, capable and very configurable bit of code is just what the doctor ordered. Almost every bit of this thing can be edited, tweaked or added on to. Fot the coder gurus, the available SDK lets you play god. The support forums for this are truly huge and active. Every version gets hammered in ways that Winamp could only dream about. The users of this program get this thing to do things i'm sure have the developer, Peter Paslowski, scratching his head. I love its low resource usage and high quality playback combined with the ability to burn audio CDs right from the playlist with no hiccups. It streams. It converts. It Replaygains. It plays .flac, .mp3, CD audio, .wma, .mod and brethren, speex, .aac, .mpc, .ogg, .wav, .aaif, .snd, .voc, shorten, .ape and I'm running out of room. It also supports console game music formats. It does all of this natively and seamlessly. Not bad for a freeware player.
I've been using the for a while now, and it has not let we down. Who needs the bells and whistles? As long as the quality keeps improving I'll use it.
How knows maybe later down the line there will come a gui for this player.

The 'gloomy' interface does not really matter. One of the best players/encoders I know.
Excellent player (up to 32 bit audio!) and Wav encoder.

Open Source & not linked with AOL like Winamp
I'm giving a 4 only because the interface is a bit gloomy
