Re: Fwd: Foobar 2000 class begins October 1
Hi Peter, Personally I'm very happy with Winamp especially because the Window-Eyes scripts add so many useful features to the program. I haven't used Foobar2000 apart from trying it very briefly once and then uninstalling it. I probably wouldn't use it myself but it is always good to have choices. Regards Steve.

Re: Fwd: Foobar 2000 class begins October 1
I recommend anyone who doesn't know what Foobar2000 is should take this class. I'm not teaching it, I don't have the patience, but I've been using Foobar2000 since 2006 and it is, bar none, the most powerful yet lightest weight audio player available for Windows. Why do you want Foobar2000? First, you can taylor the interface to you, particularly in that you can have several different playlists open at once. If you want to be able to have a playlist containing all your favorite internet radio stations and another where you open things from Windows Explorer, you can do that. Foobar2000 also has best of breed support for regioned files. If you find yourself with a multi-regioned file, you actually get to see the regions like a playlist. This is beautiful for Ogg Vorbis internet radio broadcasters like myself, who use the Oddcast/Edcast/Altacast archiving ability, which does create a file with all those regions. The recall is amazing. Speaking of streaming, I don't know of any better player for streaming audio. Winamp has nothing on Foobar, because Winamp doesn't even come close to just how robust Foobar2000 is at streaming without buffering. If you're listening to a stream with Foobar2000 and it's buffering, then you can be sure that it's the stream's fault or your connections. Not Foobar's. That's just some of the reasons you guys should actually consider Foobar. On 9/25/2013 5:10 PM, Steve Pattison wrote: This class will be held online at www.vipconduit.com. Regards Steve.
