Do you need to make it pretty? It's a music player anyways, and 99,99% of the time you won't be watching it.

I can configure my album list to queue the selected album to playlist. So I can just double-click a couple of albums straight to playlist and forget foobar for a few hours It's all in the settings.

I don't see what's wrong with Vista. On my computer, 32-bit VHP works at least as well as XP Pro. As a gamer I need to eventually move to Vista, so I didn't see any point delaying it. My only issues with vista are no ability to adjust UAC settings (it's either on nazi mode, or completely...

Asio doesn't care about wave volume. Only thing which affects asio, is master volume :P

I abx'd one 320kbps lossy mp3 (just for kicks), only 7 trials (I don't know how to adjust the amount... Anyways, I converted the mp3 first to 16bit/44,1KHz wav without dsp's, and another with SRC resampler to 16bit/48KHz wav. I switched playback to directsound, 16bit, without any...

I followed the orders of this thread: http://www.3dss-forums.com/cgi-bin/w...2&fpart=1&vc=1 1. No volume control. Do it with your amp/etc. Master & soruce volume at 0,0dB 2. No EAX effects. 3. No cmms3d. 4. No clean-up, bass/treble adjust, bass boost etc. 5. No speaker calbiration...

So, there are no resamplers for linux/mac/insert_your_alternative_os_here? That's horrible

How about 44,1KHz ogg resampled to 48KHz via playback software (winamp, foobar etc.) vs 48KHz ogg? If I read your post right, you didn't try that yet. I'd be interested which one, encoder or player, does better job at resampling. And if encoder wins, is it worth it to re-encode thousands of...

Everyone seems to have same kind of playlist-based stuff. I finally got my albumlist to work, altough it's pretty empty now because of a recent HD death. Anyways, here's my old good winamp+albumlist style foobar (I moved to foobar yesterday): Skinning with columns_ui is a bit hard...

Heh, I succumbed under foobar's prowess yesterday. Heh, I haven't seen such an amazing program for long time. I tinkered with columns ui & album covers plugins and my foobar currently looks like this: http://www.kotiposti.net/ihmemies/roina/foobar4.png My winamp had basically the same...

And do they work with 24/96 software resampler?
