OPS, thats a news, to all those that claim buffer playback size its not important!

How are you running Foobar since you've got a Mac. Are you dual booting to Windows or are you running a VM or is there some other way?


Lenovo X200 for work, running Windows XP Pro.

Foobar development is exceptional ... but I am too lazy to upgrade. To much work locating plugins and verifying which versions I need.

I am still on version v.0.9.6.9, which I only upgraded in the summer. Will probably upgrade to whatever the latest version is in the mid or end of the year when I do some hardware upgrades and/or windows reinstall.

It's definitely important, especially when playing over a network that's busy with lots of traffic.

I just upgraded from 0.9.6.9 to 1.0 and everything works fine. So it's an easy upgrade, unlike when I upgraded from 0.8 to 0.9. Everything went wrong back then and I remember how I fought with the app for hours.

So for me, new with no clue about plug-ins, I love it! What a refreshing change from the slowness and mind control of I-Tunes.


If you just did the switch, I recommend you try this out for foobar. Then switch the Channel Mixer DSP with Free Surround.

I don't see a need to upgrade if it's working fine. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

If there was any sound improvement it would only be with lossy codecs.

Afaik a decoder either works, or not. A decoder bug would most probably result in very annoying audio glitches.
And most of the codecs are libraries developed by non-foobar devs, so ..

Both works fine afaik, just make sure that you don't delete your plugins/settings if you uninstall first.
