no


http://www.foobar2000.org/FAQ.html#other_questions

foobar2k will win
xD
i m using it
=x

Foobar look better if u like to costomise very much.

foobar more stable

winamp always crashes

foobar has more plugins which play most of my loseless, flac, ape

The heck? foobar uses low memory consumption plus it's heavy customization for those who prefer it. Winamp, however, has became slower when loading. Especially when there are many plugins. I'd rather use Windows Media Player 11 tho. The best library for music there is for me.

Foobar definitely....

Been using it for a while now aside from WMP 11....

i vote for foobar

Ya once u try Foobar u won like winamp anymore

I think it's largely depending on your computer processor, memory and sound card. Yes, Foobar may use lesser memory than Winamp but it may also require better processor if you use a low end sound card and various of plugins.
I'd rather use Winamp though since it has nice interface and good library management.

sure foobar wins i using for 5 years edi
It just sound more amazing on my 5.1. After i add another plugin all my song becomes even clearer without me needed to spend 500-1000 worth sound card.

I installed both but use Winamp instead.

winamp wmp is the suckest,eat alot of resources and alway crash

crash as in lost the play lists, color theme etc?

Sorry offtopic, but what about foobar vs WMP? Had another forumer recommend foobar to me saying sound quality was better..

I use Winamp, mainly because its media library function is better than the one in foobar. Adding albums to an existing database is easier too in Winamp (incremental updates) than foobar (needs to rescan my whole watch folders, easily taking 30 minutes or so).

since i started usin foobar, hvnt hv a feelin of changin to any other players til nw..
-i din seriously compare its sq wit others bt it satisfy me so far, sounds nature wit no eq configurations..
-memory usage vry low, less crashes thn others..
-i hv the freedom to mod my foobar as i wish in term of interface o plugins..
-open source is powerful~

enjoy~

for my ranking ...
1. foobar
2.ttplayer
3.wmp
4.winamp
if hav good quality of wma music ..then play in wmp consider ok lah .. lot of my friend still stick with wmp til now ..they r realy a wmp fan... but no doubt wmp user friendly lah... but once get to use ttplayer or foobar( either one). u wil not turn bec to wmp again... especially the SQ ... for foobar, realy hav to take time to get use to it...

Do we need to have this argument at all? I mean I know there are still Winamp supporters out there who will support it to no end and there will be FB2k users who will bash back.

Owh BTW, am using FB2k but the older version since am not so sure about PanelsUI support on newer versions

i have to agree. Now using it as well. Listen to trance after u tried foobar no other player ever sound better than it.

Anyone know how to stream radio station via foobar?

I only use winamp for internet radio

Since the introduction of 0.9.5 PanelsUI started to cause serious incompatibility issues and its development was ceased last year.

And yeah, this kind of argument only brings fruitless outcome with each side of users supporting their own preferred players. Although i like how my Foobar2000 works very much and that i probably can't think of switching over to any other player in the near future, i won't stop my friends using Winamp/WMP11/TTplayer whatsover. It's your choice and it's completely up to you, although if you want, i can list many advantages straight away.

thanks to this thread,ive finally tried foobar and definitely satisfied with it compare to winamp

had u ever tried on using foobar sound output on winamp?

welcome to the club. I have an addon that will enchance it even more. It sound so amazing on my 5.1

foobar2k got equalizer ? winamp got..

of course foobar got.

sumthing like dfx enhancer?

more like audio clarity. It makes audio sharper and clearer

foobar got.. just that you dono how to find it... and its equalizer is lot more specific...

Besides winamp is still winamp... they are more user friendly and light weight

Lol try compare foobar its way far more light weight.

Next time u check your process when u run winamp then

check with foobar u will have a shock of your life.

But the appearance is kinda

Haha u havent seen what tweak can make your foo bar looks like.
You will be even amaze. Let me show u









Thats the power of open source application. Can winamp be as amazing as above? You be the judge

welcome to Desktop Customization thread.. http://forum.lowyat.net/DesktopCustomization

thanks bro.looks like i need to spend time and read the thread 1st,lolz.

why my foobar some times loud and some times no loud?
different song different volume?

dunno i dont have the problem u mention above

ya,never face such problem before.is it the problem of song.

Please also do not forget that depending on how many plugins you install on your foobar2000 and how many of them are enabled, the memory usage will vary. Heavy customization also means higher memory usage.

wen9x88 might be right. MP3s might have different sound volume, however you can use the 'ReplayGain' function in foobar2000 to normalize their volume. Just right click on the sound tracks and choose 'ReplayGain>Scan per-file track gain', after foobar2000 has gathered information, Click Update Tag.

Examples posted by aspire2006 is the reason why I'm using foobar2000.
It's cool.

@caspersky iit is not working.

i open same song in foobar and winamp.
i only can hear the winamp,because more loud.

some of the song like that only.

Foo All The Way

my case different. on winamp music sound ok only
on foobar it sound amazing even with streaming radio

wat is mean streaming radio??
do u adjsust anything?
how u install the foobar?
do u have download any components for foobar?

wen let me suggest something

Why dont u just uninstall your foobar and reinstall?

I have alot of component but i disable most of it except 1.

ReplayGain is not used to make your MP3s sound louder. In fact, most of my MP3 sound 'quieter' after applying ReplayGain. It just 'normalizes' them to have same level of volume output by determining how much dB has to be adjusted.

The reason Winamp outputs louder sound may be due to different design of the programs, and foobar2000 can output less dB than Winamp at same percentage of volume level(not sure about this though).

But you can adjust the volume elsewhere, like with your speaker, unless you are using a laptop. It's difficult to imagine you still can't hear the sound after you turn the speaker volume to the highest level.

download this, extract into components folder

in DSP manager, add the following into Active DSPs:

Noise sharpening (adjust around 60%)
Advanced Limiter (need to be at the end of the chain)

in Playback, adjust this.

Replaygain > Source mode: album
Processing > Apply gain and prevent clipping

Preamp:
With RG: ± 0.0
Without RG: -8.0

ya,i makes my mp3 more quiet

Try to disable ReplayGain at Preferences, Playback. Also check the volume control there.

ReplayGain is enabled by default because it only affects files which have been scanned before.

ok,will do it.

used to hav same problem..

the problem is foobar cant support online radios like ah.fm...dats a disadvantage..

I use Winamp , Fooabar, TT Player (It's in chinese language) before

So far i like Foobar is because it customizable and plug-in

But now i switch to TT Player due to it's automatic lyric download whenever a song play without lyric in it's TT Player database
