foobar 200.most serious player, really theres no need to imitate some cheap plastic hi-fi on your screen, as winamp does,when you just want to listen to music. thats one advantage. second one - all of the features, which winamp lacks,giving you loads of bollocks,inter-hyper-active net options which you never use, including ripping CD's,as proffesionals will do it on standalone appl. not in some free mp3 player :P
anyway,foobar works excellent,flac decoder is everywhere to download,and voila!

I installed foobar once to try it out and it completely hijacked my os. Icons went barmy, program assosiations all got hogged by it, even though I told it not to associate itself with any type of file, and when I tried to remove it to get things back the way they were it wouldn't uninstall. I spent huors getting things back to normal. Well, never again. Winamp for me.

seems you had something wrong with your OS,as normally foobar is tooas a lapplication to do the mess you described. try once again.
the fact: people that started to use foobar after winamp never got back to winamp after all.

You can use $if3(%__bitrate_dynamic%,%__bitrate%) in whatever field you are trying to display the bitrate in to display the dynamic bitrate if it exists. For this to work you also have to make sure you have "Real-time bitrate display" checked in Preferences > Playback > Input > Standard inputs, otherwise it will just display the average bitrate.
I like foobar a lot. It's fully customizable so you can make it be a huge player that takes up the whole screen like Windows Media or iTunes, or you can make it small like Winamp. I used to hate it because it would take forever to load large playlists, but I found out if you enable the "database" it only has to take a long time to load everything once.
I use dbPowerAmp to encode/convert FLACs.

No, my OS is fine. Foobar fucked up. Simple as that. And that the same thing didn't happen to the handful of people here doesn't mean it didn't happen, or it's my fault and I resent the implication that it was.
the third exception: i also used foobar after winamp, and went back to winamp

In case anyone is interested............
the illininable filters for WMP suck dogs balls. They have stopped working for some reason and they only ever allowed me to play one file at a time, never queue up a range of tracks.......
So now I'm using dBpowerAMP Audio Player

To encode and covert lame's I use dbPowerAmp: LAZY_TITLE
To playblack them I use this plugin for Winamp: LAZY_TITLE (although I think the new version of Winamp might have this built in)
I only use Winamp2 skins for Winamp5 so Winamp is essentially a extreme lite version of Winamp 2.9x. I'm not sure if people realise this happens if you use the old skins for winamp.

oops, I mean FLAC not lame. My bad, for some reason I always get the names mixed up. The links still apply though to playback FLACs.
