What do you think of Foobar player?

Post by froggyboy604 »

The GUI looks kind of plain, and slightly harder to use compared to Winamp, but It is stable, and does not use a lot of resources.

i'll have to admit i quite like it, i've been using it along side winamp for a while though winamp is preferable it's just easier to strema from,

so i use foobar as my main audio player it runs solid and stable for days.

I notice that foobar is not as simple as point and click. I have to explore the menu strips to find Repeat song, repeat playlist.

I like how easy it is to load folders, and edit my MP3 tags.

I think it is okay for foobar to look plain since Music players are usually minimize while I am on furums, doing homework, and doing other stuff, so I don't really care how my player looks as long as it is easy to use with a decent button layout.

it has all the typical features you need in right click or in the menu bar.
sure not like winamp where it has there features with well designed buttons but even then you still have to go deep into the settings to find some that you want, with foobar majority are in the right click where as in winamp for example you have to open up another window take up more screen and then navigate your way down until you find it.
