As you probably know, the Secret Rabbit Code resampler is the best available resampler plugin for fb2k.

Basically, the situation is this: - I don't use windows, nor do i use foobar. - Making that plugin took up many hours of my time. - I am a highly paid professional software engineer and I value my time even more highly than my employer. - I have so far received 8 payments of $10 for this plugin. - $80 does not come anywhere near paying me for the time I have already spent on this. Unless I get a whole bunch of donations, I don't see much chance of a new foobar plugin happening. Furthermore, noone else can legally do a plugin either because I own the copyright to the Secret Rabbit Code resampler and its license is not compatible with the foobar itself. |

Doing a new version of should take no more than 2 hours. When contracting I normally charge $75/hr. So if you can get 15 people to donate $10, I'll roll a new version. That will pay me for this version, but I'd still like to more than 15 donations in the longer term. |
