great, here comes the foobar circle jerking

Foobar if you're good at the hoity toity tippy typer
Winamp if your not

Foobar I guess.

Lots of customization as far as I've heard.

Winamp
Foobar

If you're running a Mac, you're just about boned.

MusicBee because I tried out Foobar and hated that shit.

Foobar

Lots of things are better than iTunes. MusicBee and Foobar are my favorites.

gotta get dat foo

for the last fucking time, FOOBAR. EVERYONE WHO ENDS UP HATING ITUNES NEEDS TO GET FOOBAR.

FUCK

Is the interface of Foobar as nice as iTunes?

>>26601913
No

>>26601913
Default isn't that great, but it's very customizable.

Can foobar be docked in the taskbar like iTunes? I've been looking for an alternative forever, but just because of that little feature, I've been iTune's bitch

iTunes is master race dealwitit nerds


:~)

I recently switched to music bee. It's better for library organization (on the interface), customization and it auto-scrobbles from the player.
The downsides is that you can't change album navigation easily like you can in itunes, you have to use a drop-down menu for it. And it has trouble recognizing 96kbps flac-ripped mp3, totally rejects them.
Also, as a general question, how do you get MusicBee to automatically copy files into one organized, designated folder (like iTunes)?

i use itunes to tag/add music/sync iphone
i use foobar to play

What are all the Dj's using now a days? I'd trust what they've got going on. I'm just tired of being forced to use iTunes for my music organization.

musicbee, lets bee frenz

Can I switch to foobar and still use my ipod classic to sync it? or would that be totally lost?

>>26602014
>>26601994
then why would you use it. christ. i'm sick of you fucking cunts

>>26602385
Because all I want to use it for is to play music.
I don't need something to look good if I'm not even going to be looking at it most of the time. I just pick an album and press play.
I, for one, use (and prefer) the default interface.
Also it isn't bloated.

>>26602027
Yes, It can.

>>26602078
>>26602351
Check out the component "foo_dop" to sync ipods/iphones ( i think the official site has an extra option or something for iphones).
It handles Ipods better than itunes, by the way.

>Because all I want to use it for is to play music

oh that clears things up. iTunes doesn't play music thats right. ok i understand. you want a music player that plays music. yeah, iTunes sucks at that.

>>26602385
The installer is <20MB last time I checked.
There are loads of plugins for foobar, making it more versatile than any other digital audio player I've ever used.
Music library updates are instantaneous; I can find my new music in the list immediately after copying the files.
It can play quite nearly any format and/or codec.
The amount of custom themes is staggering. If you don't like the default look, you can find a theme to better suit your tastes.

>>26602385
Because with a skin my foobar looks 100x better than iTunes

>>26602385
>cunts
I was just answering your question.

Foobar has an ugly interface by default, but it is very customizable.
And I don't use it. I use MusicBee.

>>26602691
Stop being a retard, retard.
iTunes does a lot more than it needs to and it makes it bloated and slow.
Foobar is easier to use.
And apple and iTunes are terrible.

>>26602794
also, iTunes wont play FLAC.

>>26602691
Exactly. Itunes sucks at playing music. Glad you agree.

It supports less file types, and is filled with all sorts of bloat and music store shit, and takes up more resources.

I mean, you can use it no problem, but you don't need to get pissy with other people when they don't like it.
