Foobar2000 v1.0

What do you expects from a music player under 3MB in size? Listen to music? Yes. Foobar2000 is Fiat Uno out-of-the-box. Just simple interface and nothing else. Then what about this review, why I write it? A little installation of  few plugins and some minor customizations under the hood, you'll get a Ferrari at no cost. Take a look at the easy to use clean interface which is tweaked with Columns UI plugin.



And it integrates with Windows 7 task bar so you have easy control with player minimized.



The best feature of all is, it takes very low amount of system resources.



And with PrettyPopup plugin you can override default pop-up message.



I've been using music players since 1999 including JetAudio, Gamut 2000, Winamp, Sonique, Quint Essential Player, iTunes, Musicmatch Jukebox, Real Player, Windows Media Player, etc. Winamp was my favourite player of all time and I've used it many years. Why I gave up Winamp?

Winamp was used to be good, but now it's a hungry devil that eating lot of resources, and lot of features that no use to me at all. Foobar2000 provides best sound output possible without distortions at low ends. Ok it's doing a little, but still it does fine.
