Update: Foobar is lame. Not foobar.

Wait, why is foobar lame? I just converted to foobar and I'm really liking it.

I told you bro. VLC.

Light, simple, easy to use. Not a lot of add- on's and shit.

foobar is best sorry bro

Actually, foobar now has a bunch of preset layouts that you may find useful. The first time you run foobar you should get a dialog that lets you choose.

For example, this is the "Album List and Properties (tabbed)" preset, and I set the "View" to "folder structure." You get a barebones foobar installation but still have the option to mess around with the library and playlists.

It's been so long since I last had to install I forgot he put this in.

Sorry, what was that? I couldn't hear you over the sound of Foobar being intuitive and bloatfree.

Foobar all the way.

Okay fine shit I got it and I guess I can deal with it

i need skins.

so many skins.

i want to be able to swim in skins.

Doesn't windows come with a media player? Can't you just organize music yourself in files and right click "Add to current playlist"?

Resurrecting Thread 4 posterity

After using Foobar for a little bit, I find I do not have the ability to download songs off the iPod, an out-of-the-box feature in Winamp. Additionally, Foobar does not seem built for playlist support, having only very basic features in that area. It also seems to have no capabilities in library file auto-organization, something I am experimenting with now in Winamp.

But feel free to let me know if I'm doing it wrong.

>>2501
What do you mean by library auto-organization?

>>2503
My library is physically composed largely of mis-tagged, untagged, unorganized and recovered music collections cultivated from the very beginning of napster. I need iTunes' ability to auto-sort the actual files into proper Artist and Album hierarchies, instead of just cruising the library with search.
