The Geek Illuminati notes that it is very lite on computer resources. It also has a sliding buffer size tool to help with any juttering you may have using an older, slower computer. I have it configured with a dropdown to select output drivers with a click, so I can select output between my PS Audio DAC, and my Woo Audio headphone DAC/Amp. Further, it has a zillion plugins to play all kinds of crazy files and has file utilities. The good is that you can make it look and handle anyway you like. The challenge with Foobar is that it is a geek’s tool and requires some configuration to look good, and for that it helps to have some computer savvy. It is fully bit-perfect, but you can install digital equalizer plug-ins if you like.

Sorry, I don’t mean to hijack this thread, but I do want to post that there are other options for a player. If anyone is interested in using Foobar with Windows, I can provide to you my configuration files to get you up and running in no time. BTW, yes I am a Foobar evangelist (it is free).
