With this, I have finally converted to FB2K.

If this had reliable ipod support this would blow itunes out of the water. I only use itunes to sync my ipod because foobar rocks. About damn time it updated.

hmm, for how much it says has changed in the changelog it doesn't feel like much, oh well, its still awesome!

Winamp 5.51 kept crashing last week, so I gave foobar2k a try. I quit it quite soon, however - I found making it do what I was used to too much a pain. I reinstalled the Amp and didn't even have to reinstall its plugins, which are:
- Ability to delete the currently playing song from my disk using a global shortcut
- Having a decent visualizer for parties
- The possibility to tag, masstag, autotag and provide covers for MP3s
- Having a media library that supports things like "files never played"
- Last.fm integration

I love the new version of foobar. The flexibility of the layout is so much nicer. You can easily change the layout to a predefined option by going to View > Layout > Quick Setup and choosing an option there. In addition, you can go to View > Layout > Enable Layout Editing Mode to make more changes (like moving around toolbars, adding extra tabs or panels, etc.).

Now that version 0.9.5 has been released with easy exporting/importing of themes, how about asking the readers that showed their foobar customisaiton to submit their themes (for the less capable users)?

Excellent! But it doesn't work on Windows 2000 - my work and windows PC. x-(
