Hey, Guys. I see alot of people in here prefer Foobar over Winamp. I use Winamp becuase it give me the Features and the functions to get the best sound I can, Using plugins and What not. SO my question is why do some people prefer foobar over Winamp?..I my opinion there is no better player then winamp, but thats just my opinion..so Guys..give me some reason.

This settles it, this forum really needs a sticky, it seems every few days to a week someone asks Foobar vs. Winamp and we have the same discussion over and over and over again.

So can a mod please make a sticky about this?

Also to answer your question. It is a matter of taste, both Foobar and Winamp require a bit of tweaking to get "just right" for a user. With the right settings Winamp and Foobar should sound the same. Use whatever you like more. I like Winamp so I use it, if you find a Foobar setup you like then use that.

That what I mean, So if Foobar cannot sound any better than a properly configured winamp then why would people use it?..Considering the awsome looks one can have for a winamp..or a standard grey window...

Even though I have only been coming here off and on for a little under a year, this discussion has played out 10000000 times in that span.

EDIT: Look on the page like 5 threads below this one

A thread called "What's so great about Foobar?"

You should at least glance at the threads on a forum before posting another one IMO

Winamp looks ugly. And the first time I installed it a nasty man with a low voice intoned across my speakers. So I am put off for ever.

OK, I wanted to delete the thread but I don't see how I can..mods, can you kill this thread.

Foobar -can- look good. But I'd say the learning curve is steeper.
It just kinda bugs me that I can't register to hydrogenaudio forum, so I need to look elsewhere for questions..
