It doesn't look pretty, however, Quintessential is much nicer!

[Shonver]

You know, you should give us the skinny on Foobar. I've heard it mentioned often, but I don't know enough to pique my interest.

I could but its much easier to post links. I use it in Kernel streaming mode (and YES you can hear the difference)

http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?act=SF&s=&f=28  is the best place to start, there is just soooo much to get hrough though. Being opensource and having so many components to play with (F_D they have a 'Tube sound' component as well) it is not really a Plug-and-play player. This is the only part of my audio-chain that i'm prepared to spend time tweaking LOL

I don't really care too much about the looks, this config took me about 15 mins to do, but the Dolby Headphone, crossfeed and KS is what i really use it for.

For those who don't know, this is what a virgin install of foobar looks like




So now you can see why some people dont like it it takes work to make it look pretty but it sounds good from the start

Quintessential looks pretty from the start! 


But your Foobar does look good, mine looks just like your above image, I didn't know I could "dress her up".

When I used to use Windows, I always had the toss up between Winamp and Foobar. Foobar used less memory, but was ugly, winamp had better support, better features, but used around 5 meg more RAM.

When I moved to Linux around 5 years ago, Amarok was pretty average, not too pretty, yet nice support and decent backend [MySQL database ftw]. Amarok2 takes this 1 step more. I cannot fault it really on anything other than it crashes when my music share [over sshfs] goes down. This is somewhat understandable though. Quality is good on all bitrates [winamp sometimes seems to mess out with VBR at 320k]

Here is one of the themes I made and posted on http://www.hydrogenaudio.org but the thread got taken down. I still have the theme though.

foobar2000 v1.0.3 stable is available and its starting to look a lot better 'out of the box' compared to earlier releases.

Beware, not all existing components are compat with win7, dolby headphone being one of them
