I have been a long time Winamp user, but have been reading the recent discussion on Foobar2000 with interest. I would consider changing to Foobar if it can do all of the following, which are possible with Winamp. The inability to do them would be a show stopper for me.
1. The ability to search for a file in a playlist and move it to immediately after the currently playing track. 2. The ability to locate a file with Windows Explorer and insert it into the playlist immediately after the currently playing track. This can be done with Winamp although how to do it is not immediately obvious. 3. The ability to tell the player to stop playing at the end of the current track or a selected track further along in the playlist. 4. The ability to play the last ten seconds or so of a track without needing to specify the time. 5. The ability to jump to a specified time in a track. 6. The ability to move forward and back by 5 second increments in a track by the use of arrow keys or similar. 7. The ability to read the sample rate, bit rate and number of tracks of a file. 8. The ability to modify ID3 tags. 9. The ability to cross fade tracks (I know this can be done with Foobar). 10. The ability to equalise the output volume of files. That will do for starters. Can anyone say if it is possible to do the above with Foobar.
