Yup. The only other open source player I've found that can handle fx radio is vlc from www.videolan.org. Despite the name, it's a pretty cool program; it does way more than just video. Almost as nice as foobar...it's a way smaller memory and CPU footprint anyway, and loads a little faster. Also you can have multiple vlc's open without things breaking badly, unlike foobar. But it's somewhat lacking in dsps; it's got mostly the same dsp options as foobar, but something about the way they implimented them causes them to sound like crap and not do things in quite the way I would expect. Also they're located in a really non-obvious place.
