While it's true that foobar2000 is very modular, you don't have to know anything about the available components (foobar2000's name for plug-ins) to get started. Just click the Download link and then find the "Latest stable version" heading. -- James Scholes http://twitter.com/JamesScholes To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

This is quite a strange site. It's very sparse and not easy to figure out what's required. It seems like you have to build the program up out of components.
