Well, whadya say Philodox? Feel like emailing them over to me?
Also Philo, you were asking about technical setup of 9.0 - what soundcard are you using?

I wish there was some clever solution to this...

My screen runs at 1280x1024 on a rather nice CTX PR960F monitor. Might go to TFT one day...

The scroll bars on long lists are often too small. I think a lot of this seems to be Windows fault - on AmigaOS MacOS it never seemed to be a problem. The scroll bars had a larger minimum size, and were somehow easier to operate.

I tend to use find-as-you-type anyway now. Shame the album list panel does not deal but "The" at the start of a name, but anyway...*

Horizontal lists are clearly out. Explorer style multiple column lists take up a lot of valuable space.

* Hay, at least foobar can strip extra spaces from tags, musikCube and wxMusik both see separate artists because of this!

Sure thing, just email me so that I have your address.

I am just using onboard sound right now [Karajan audio module on the DFI Lanparty motherboards] and may get a cheap NOS DAC sometime in the future for my computer setup.

I couldn't get ASIO output work with 0.9.2. It works perfectly in 0.8.3. What's with that channel setup in 0.9.2? I tried like every possible configuration but almost every setup just ended up crashing foobar. KS didn't work either.

Maybe it's a compatibility issue with the juli@? I have an emu0404, and it worked from the beta all the way to the stable release.

Your using the ASIO from foobar's site right?

I can't get ASIO working on my foobar 0.9.2 either, but I got Kernel Streaming working easily. My foobar locks-up too, it becomes completely unusuable.

ASIO was impossible to when 0.9.0 came out but support has since been added. KS is aslo possible. The value of using either is in dispute.

It sounds like the playlist tree panel isn't for you.

Not for me, I use the Colonels Streaming. An undebatable positive effect it has had is to illuminate the PC activity sounds, i.e. a click when opening/refreshing internet pages.

Another thing I've noticed is that it sounds better, quite a lot too. I'd recommend using KS to anyone, ASIO is not working for me?

If you have a compatible soundcard, you'd be missing out on a free upgrade if you don't try bit-perfection.

Well I owe you a beer then. I spent over an hour last night going through them all, can't decide on which one I want to use
