Hi, where can we try Foobar?, Billy

Thanks for all the info. It's nice to see that this fine-seeming programme has some fans here. However it doesn't seem that it's designed for video playback....a shame as that's really what I was after, but I'm glad to have discovered Foobar anyway as it seems pretty neat all round. Not sure if it'll be replacing winamp for me but we'll see! I'm glad you sent some explanatory stuff as a cursory look at the setup trees in Foobar left me a little nonplussed...however I've succeeded in getting music to play and am impressed by the amount of plugins available and note that they seem pretty well organised and documented. in the meantime I'm probably best off to attempt VLC for my video needs. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brett Boyer" <[email protected]> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, October 30, 2011 12:45 AM Subject: Re: Foobar or VLC?

The nice thing with foobar is that you can set it to a different soundcard. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Scrimenti" <[email protected]> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, October 29, 2011 2:15 PM Subject: Re: Foobar or VLC? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&biw=792&bih=393&q=foobar+2000+k eyboard+shortcuts&oq=foobar+2000+keyboard+shortcuts&aq=f&aqi=g-s1&aql=1&gs_s m=e&gs_upl=3266l12188l0l23516l30l29l0l0l0l0l468l5326l2.7.8.4.2l23l0 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Casey" <[email protected]> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, October 29, 2011 4:54 PM Subject: Re: Foobar or VLC? Hi would you be willing to give ma a hand on how to set hot keys and also winch ones did you set and then how did you make them work once you had it all set? I am new to foobar and want to try it out for at least playing my MP3 files cause they all are nice and loud threw it instead of. Some being louder then other in win amp and some are quieter then others in win amp as well. Were foobar as you know keeps them all the same level. So if you can assist me with foobar that would be a very big help. Thank you ahead of time for any assistance that I may get. Casey On 10/29/2011 3:01 PM, Brett Boyer wrote: > Hi.
