Hello people, I know some of you already know it, I didn’t till a couple of day before, I think this item is very useful for us so to try our 24bit files, looking for samples, etc., it really works great and is even free! What more can you ask for?

Please, check it out, download the special version, and ready you go! You can hear any bit depth up to 64bits… that’s amazing! There are no artefacts or hum or his whatsoever, it is very transparent. It plays quite a few unusual formats like the monkey.

Yes, I did, it works very well, clear and FAST, superb to hear your samples, organize them.

Indeed, for that the multiple playlists come in very handy! You can leave them in there forever

Hint: just like Winamp, Foobar supports some extra commands. My desktop shell integrates Ctrl-Shift-X with "C:/.../foobar.exe" /pause
Ctrl-Shift-S with "C:/.../foobar.exe" /prev
Ctrl-Shift-D with "C:/.../foobar.exe" /next
so I have very quick access to basic Foobar controls. To do that on a normal Windows installation, you can make a couple of extra shortcuts in a subfolder of the Start Menu, and assign the shortkeys to them.

I have a Logitech special keyboard, and I can route almost all my programs through it, so I don't use much shortcuts, as I can create them in a "one touch key", which is very handy.

I can't work out how to make it my default player..........doh. Looked in help. Any help here?

Edit: It's done it....I guess a Foobar file runs in Foobar and a Windows Media Player file runs in WMP........OKKKKKKKKK

Just kidding of course, as you wount be able to play video...

Also .asx etc, Windows' proprietary audio formats can't be played with Foobar.

For file associations, see options menu's in either player. Almost the same can be done from Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > File Types.

It has now renamed all my MP3 files........thanks Atom and Nestor. I'd given it the files to associate, it just hadn't done it when I expected. Maybe I'd left my computer on.....not restarted or something. Cheers.
