Foobar Windows 7 Integration
By default Foobar2000 does not come with support for Windows 7 and that means you can’t access it from the Windows 7 taskbar and there’s no support for jumplists. Sucks, eh? Well, luckily there’s a great plugin that adds full Windows 7 support and makes foobar the BEST Windows 7 Audio Player:
foobar is shit and we all know it is – now if they decided to ship it with an interface that was fucking useful, some people might start using it other than fanboys who have no clue.
@bob
actually, i’ve just installed it and am very impressed. working from a portable installation at the moment and it had save my playlist using a relative path, which is great because my music is on the same drive as the foobar. easy.
i totally agree with the review…..i like foobar more than any dominating audio player….its full of features nd endless opportunities for customization….thanks to Peter Pawlowski n all those who r contributing there efforts to make it more n more better.
I think new users get bad feeling about it because of its simple user interface, but it is not like that…try it understand few things, m sure u will love this stuff.
Foobar 2000 is definitely one of the best players around
(probably the best…)
the fact that u can use an Asio driver without all the bells and whistles that the competition seems to need says enuff
no realplayer, winamp , vlc or whatever comes close
if you are a sucker for pure audioquality Foobar is your thing…
(but you got to sell your soundblastercard and pc speakers…)
