My patient is getting thinner with Vista, if it's the problem.
I installed Foobar latest version and have all the setting done. Playing 320kbps mp3 sounds great with my Edifier S2.1D via spdif.
I just found out that it can't handle APE even with the correct codec from K-Lite installed. I tried the same file with VLC and WMP, both works. VLC may have its own codec, but definitely not WMP. This shows that the Monkey Audio codec is indeed installed. Now why Foobar is giving me error?
I got hundreds of APE and I like Foobar to play it... thoughts?

Should I just uninstall K-Lite and install the CCCP?

Problem solved. It seems Foobar can't handle ffdshow audio, so even the APE codec was installed via K-lite codec pack, foobar couldn't use it. I have installed the Monkey's Audio component now.

Just use FLAC...why need APE?

Because the songs I downloaded were in APE. That's why.
