So now I'm going to sound like a fan boy. All I wanted originally was a basic amplifier (at the time a fancy term) to make audio...well...louder! That was all... didn't ask to be launched on an epic learning curve analogous to "The Hero's Journey". So it turns out that first question, "Can something make this louder?", was a 'call to adventure'. That was months ago! Tempted by interesting sounding and fancy looking gadgets called USB-DACs I followed the breadcrumbs and found myself neck deep with not much to grasp on to until I found Z Reviews, like a mythic Helper who shows up at the right time (i.e. neck deep and not a moment sooner) with supernatural aid. The USB-DAC comparison video is probably still the most helpful comparison review you can find. However at first I still tried to do my own thing. Got a Sony DAC. After only a month or so it stopped working at which point I realised how much these gadgets I knew nothing about a few months ago have come to mean to me. So I did what I should have done in the first place and got the Oppo (aka "my precious"). I got a pair of MDR-1As along with the initial Sony purchase thanks to Z. But perhaps most valuable of all, I started using Foobar. So now I've got the basics I need to carry on learning and listening. Thanks Zeos! You've made me a totally anti-social audiophile for a few months and I've loved it!

Lol I got into this in a similar way. I just wanted a pair of decent headphones because before that I had fucking beats (and they were the old beats from before apple bought the company that were way worse than they are now). I watched a bunch of reviews of headphones and ended up buying hd598’s, and I was happy. But then I found zeos, and his personality made me want to keep watching, and I started learning more and getting way more interested in audio, and now I have 4 pairs of headphones (maybe soon to be 5) and of course, I use foobar with a modified version of zeos’s configuration.

Okay, so I have Foobar2000 and a 5.1 setup (Edifier S760D). And I would like to set it so that when foobar is playing, it is playing in (double?) stereo and any other program in surround. I already tried setting the playback output (wasapi event and push) to a different setting which works for Foobar but it stops the rest of my audio (only foobar gives sound). Can anyone tell me how to achieve this?

Hey Z, I hope you see this message, you have to try to power your DAC and amp through a pure sine wave power inverter, connected to a 12v battery (car battery). It is revolutionary on sound quality improvement... I think to myself the only reason its not commercial is because its not consider so safe to charge a car battery in the hause, i have done for a long time, and i know your experimental enough to try new things, but i promise you, i will only say i told you so. TRY!! it.

I've subbed you a while ago. And I wish I cold subscribe you ten times more!! Thank you SO MUCH for doing this foobar setup video! Thank you Z!! I was looking for a while for a good mediaplayer, since I've got my first expensive Headphones and tube headphone amp and entered as a noob the world of Audiophiles. I've found foobar a while ago, but at the first sight it scared me and I uninstalled it. Until now I've used AIMP (which i really liked because of the waveform) but was always not that happy. And now with your VERY helping video about foobar, I cant imagine now using any other mediaplayers any more. I've customized now my favorite colors, fonts, icons, layout and albums thanks to your aid. Aimp is now waiting for its uninstallation :> ... but aimp was good. r.i.p. and may be a good mediaplayer for many other users.

there is no difference, both do the same thing. bit-perfect/unmodulated audio to the DAC by bypassing the windows internal audio rendering kernel engine/primary sound driver. wasapi is preconfigured, automatically detects the best streaming method asio is configurable, leaves you with manual control about latency and declipping of the audio DAC streaming method it entirely depends on how capable your dac is now, if you have a good dac which is capable, you can increase the latency and buffersize for lesser to no clipping but this only becomes in handy if you are using a digital audio workstation software and using lots of different sounds or superhigh bitrate music like DSD512

I've been using WACUP for the longest time. I like WACUP for some things but there's also foobar 2000 that I like for other reasons. They're both great audio players. I'm just not sure what one I want. 😭 WACUP just works well out of the box. But foobar takes a while to setup. Foobar is like the arch linux of music players while WACUP is like the windows of music players. foobar can play cue/bin files out the box which WACUP can't.

Just a quick FYI: fb2k-component files are actually ZIP archives. So basically you rename any downloaded foobar component from .zip to .fb2k-component, and have an easy installation. Also, I still don't get it why people insist on using WASAPI. Its only practical purpose is to gain exclusive access to a device so that no other program can play audio on said device. However, I fail to see how this is useful in everyday use. In some rare and specific situations sure but in general? It just seems like a hassle with no real benefit to anything.

In older operating systems your music would be run through the windows mixer and it did degrade the output since it was altered from the true waveform. Now modern OS do an OK job but really if you are ready to listen to music on a huge system off of your PC do you really want a random DING or web ad or Chat alert slamming across the best part of Freebird?

The Windows mixer isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be, especially on Vista and above. Granted, Vista and 7 did have the bug with lower quality resampling but that was patched with an update. As far as I am aware, the Windows mixer in Vista and above handles everything (volume, mixing, resampling, etc.) in 32-bit floating point. foobar2000 does everything internally also in 32-bit floating point. So, foobar2000 is actually handing a native signal to Windows' mixer which would then convert it to 24- or 16-bit as per the settings in the audio panel. However, this conversion is more than good enough to be completely transparent to any human being on the planet and even, if I'm not mistaken, (virtually) all audio equipment. If WASAPI is indeed used to prevent any accidental "dings", then I can accept that. :) Although I am a proponent of simply setting up all programs and disable any sound effects they play. I was just a bit worried that it might be because of some desire for "bit-perfect output" or "superior sound quality", which is utter nonsense.

Yep, people are still worried about the effects of software volume on bit depth, but with modern OS versions that's not a problem anymore. At worst it could be that a specific low-grade player app or web player has a badly implemented volume control, but that's not an issue with foobar.

Indeed. It's not an issue with any of the more popular players like Winamp, foobar2000, AIMP, JRiver, XMPlay, etc. I believe we are at a point when the biggest damage to music is being done by improper/incompetent mixing and mastering, a.k.a. the loudness war. Hardware has evolved enough so that, as long as it is decently designed, even inexpensive devices can sound just as good as expensive ones. Software/players are good enough so they are not even close to being bottlenecks for quality, and lossy codecs/formats are also perfectly capable of achieving transparency, even at low-to-medium bitrates. And this is not even mentioning lossless, for those who want to be completely certain they have the best file source.

AliveNoMore "lossy codecs/formats are also perfectly capable of achieving transparency, even at low-to-medium bitrates" Yyyeeaaah, I'd take issue with that. 128 kbps CBR MP3 is low-to-medium and it's laughably un-transparent. You really have to push MP3 bitrates all the way up to get real transparency. Maybe with AAC you could get away with using less than the maximum and still have most people unable to distinguish it from a FLAC, but MP3 is not quite that good, and that matters because it's still the most widespread format. You're really compromising on quality if you go below 192 VBR or 256 CBR with MP3s.

Oke I am going mad over these white bars though my foobar2000. I read here and there that people were able to fix it using "high contrast", but no matter how I set it up, it makes basically everything everywhere super ugly with boxes around everything. Any help on how to fix my foobar2000 would be MUCH appreciated!

I've been trying to look for a solution to the white border/scrollbar issue for a while now and the only good lead I came across was this thread on reddit: www.reddit.com/r/foobar2000/comments/3344t9/new_to_foobar_is_there_a_way_to_remove_the/ It seems it's possible, but only by using a Columns UI component called Panel Stack Splitter. I've tried to set it up myself before, but I couldn't quite get it to work (mostly because I don't know how). After watching this video though, I think I'll give it another shot. Also, this much more recent thread here: www.reddit.com/r/foobar2000/comments/518mkk/help_is_it_possible_to_get_rid_of_the_white/

Yes it does. I imported some flac files and it worked perfectly. But with Spotify (and i have premium) it doesn't. If i try a replaygain scan, it says "Object not found" if i try update tag it says "Could not update tags (Unsupported format or corrupted file) on: "spotify:user:gloatingcord:playlist:3opx8kJwMV74M2wOjJY1Wu" / index: 12" I used this to add spotify to foobar2000 cpancake.me/spotify-on-foobar2000.html "The easy way"

random is more random, but the human brain is terrible at determining what is random, so shuffle basically spreads things out more than would be random to make sure there's no repeats or tracks from the same album clumped up, etc.

Random playback is random. Shuffle is pre-determined. I believe the shuffle order won't change within your playlist based on what you start with. So if you play a song in shuffle, skip forward 5 songs, then pick any song within those 5 and start skipping, you'll get the same songs afterward in the same order. Some things make it change, but I don't know what. I know 2 days ago, I played a riff raff song and it played the same shuffle order today, but then after I decided to test this, it had a new shuffle seed.

Couldn't you have just copied your foobar configuration files? That is, base install, and overwrite the config files. I wouldn't imagine there would be major (if any) registry changes with plugins, so it'd just be copy/paste at that point... but then again, you wouldn't have a video lol. Could also just upload the config files to share with everyone as well.
