Whenever I try using the foobar pass-through, it always skips to the next track early, as if it thinks the current song is shorter than it actually is. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Maybe it's just because I've been listening exclusively from my iPod for a few weeks, but now my computer seems WAY more bassy.
That's because it is. Or more accurately, you're ipod is less bassy than it should be.
What really surprises me about all this is the "quality" issue. Many users are concerned about apparent "quality" when they're using lossy formats--mp3, wma, mac formats. Emperor's new clothes...

If you can route the audio data through foobar this would open the possibility of bit perfect playback with itunes.
But surely this is only achievable if you are using MP3 or WAV files? The former bringing in some compromise in sound quality, the latter introducing its own compromises.
Really wish this arrangement could handle Apple Lossless. Is this ever likely to happen?

I have had this same problem. Most of the time it is only a second or 2, but on some songs it is still noticable. Anyone know why this could be?
I also get the same error message "Foobar is not installed" but even changing to the primary device (I had Kernel Stream) in Foobar, the multiplugin at iTunes still gives me the error of saying that Foobar is not installed and that passthrough is not active.
I installed the multiplugin and foobar v.9. This version does not allow ASIO. (Anyone knows how to make Foobar v.9 run ASIO?) But I can't get the passthrough option to work.
Thanks.

It shows up on the Itunes preferences but i am not able to enable the foobar pass-through because it either complains about "access privileges" or "foobar is not installed" my foobar is the 8.0.3 special edition and it is installed in the default directory c:\program files\foobar2000.
This is the error message i get after checking the foobar pass-through and hitting OK button:
I tried to run itunes as "administrator" and i get the same error plus this:
pdate: ok i got it fixed, the problem was, that i have two cards, and wanted to use the secondary card(juli@) with asio(not the default playback) for the foobar/itunes...i had to switch the asio card to primary for the multi-plugin to "remember" the settings, after that i was able to switch it back to the secondary and it still uses it fine. Huh that was strange
