Hi, Let me say that I was a heavy user in Winamp and looked at Foobar ages ago and wasn't impressed with it. However, I must admit after reading the recent messages on Foobar, I have taken another look and well, I have ditched Winamp for good. That's how much I am impressed with Foobar. In my opinion the sound quality is so much better. Everything is configurable and accessible. The fact you can make up your own status line makes it worthwhile alone as it is a cinch to script for such things as reading the elapsed time and time remaining of tracks with just a press of hotkeys etc. Nearly every thing Foobar can do you can create a shortcut key to it and make them global if you want to. In the foobar version I looked at ages ago, making your own shortcut keys was not accessible but that has changed and is fully accessible. There is so much more to this program than I have outlined here. Oh I have to also mentioned that it is dam responsive which was something that Winamp wasn't at times. The only thing I wish Foobar had is a plug-in to provide time marking features. Perhaps that can be scripted in time or I might find that plug-in in the future.
But yeah, I don't know what gives with Foobar and Window Eyes though. There is a problem reading the list of tracks in the play list. NVDA and Jaws don't have this problem. David Truong.
