Its very lightweight, plays nearly any format natively, and is highly customizable
>>
>>54312061
Yes. It plays audio just the same as WMP. There's no need for it except you are autistic and care more about the UI and customizability than actual functionality.

Why don't you upload screen shot ;D

serious answer incoming

yes it is better, by far. The UI alone is all the reason to use foobar over wmp, but there's also all the plugin support and readouts too. Replaygain and flac conversion and tagging and spectral anyalysis and all the visualizers and readouts you could want, great playlist support, and it's all presented to you in a format that you can completely customize

>>54312378
but why

you just need it to play music

If you just want to play music then why are you using wmp?

Are you fucking French ?

It's the default media player that comes with Windows.

Just use Quod Libet.

guess what, smart guy? It's completely modular so you can just not install all of those things, and even with it it's still probably liter than wmp
>>
>>54312639
Or I could just not install any of that and use WMP as my music player.

>and even with it it's still probably liter than wmp
Foobar could be lighter as you say, but why that should be a concern when WMP uses 35 MiB of RAM?

Media player classic does me, sometimes winamp for the pretty milky visuals

Every time I open foobar2000 the first song takes like 10 seconds to start playing, after that the playback of other songs is normal. What could be causing this?
v1.3.10 btw

Why use a media player at all? Why don't you just listen to music from youtube using Internet Explorer? If you're gonna be difficult, at least be reasonable.

It's for fags that need mp3 tagging to parse their horribly disorganized music collection.

- more format support
- plugins for extended functionality
- customization

Does anyone know how to fix this? I accidentally fucked something up with the settings that made the 'File' button disappear, so I closed out of all the other panels hoping it would somehow get it back and let me start over, but now it's a fucking vegetable. I already tried uninstalling + reinstalling.
>>
>>54316072
ctrl-p didn't work at first so I ended up deleting the whole file, uninstalling and reinstalling, then it worked. It's fixed, so never mind.
