Re: Foobar or VLC?
I've never had any trouble with RealPlayer, however, I use an earlier version. Winamp plays most things, and is very friendly. I also like the Pacemaker plug-in that lets me adjust playback speed. For the few things that won't play in Winamp, I use VLC. Foobar works great, but with Winamp and VLC, I just don't need it. - Original Message - From: Bardia bardiazak...@gmail.com To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, October 31, 2011 6:59 AM Subject: Re: Foobar or VLC? hello all!

NOt sure, but I'll look into it. Not only do you apparently not have to be in the menus to control the programme, you can do that from within any window if you set up hotkeys...however so far I'm only going by what I've been told and I haven't had time to investigate as yet. - Original Message - From: Casey cwoll...@wi.rr.com To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Saturday, October 29, 2011 9:46 AM Subject: Re: Foobar or VLC?

Re: Foobar or VLC?
Hi. I am a major foobar2000 fan. I don't use videos much but as a player I love it. Foobar does not come with a lot of built-in keystrokes u have to create them. The best part is that making them is accessible, easy, and dare I say fun. In the shortcut key dialog you can access any command of foobar's and assign it to whatever keystroke you want. I will say that for me, the best part of foobar is to have multiple playlists ready to go. Each tab in foobar's main screen is a playlist. I have tabs for movies, tv shows, regular music, howard stern and other internet radio streams, and a temp. These are all playlists that I can access whenever I want them. I can also cut copy and paste in between playlist tabs. This is just a fraction of the customization and power of foobar. It also has great tagging features, file utilities, and a music library that actually works. Like I said I don't do alot with video files so I can't say whether it works better than VLC which I have used in the past for dvd playing. thanks hth bb Brett Boyer Audio Production and voice over http://brettboyer.voices.com Brett Boyer's Big Bag of Goodies!

Hi I have just installed foobar 2000 and when I go and play a file with it. I have this play list window open and not just a foobar window like you would in winamp. also you have to always go in the menus to get it to stop and play and how do you make it so you can do that stuff while you are playing a file instead of having to go threw the menus to do this? Also how do you adjust the volume while you are playing a file in this program? Casey On 10/29/2011 4:03 AM, Anders Holmberg wrote: Hi!

Hey Dave. Thanks for the response. Apparently VLC has many different view options and at least something should work. But I'm only going on hearsay really. I'm mostly having trouble with AC3 content in winamp, and mkv files that will play but won't jump properly (IE, can't really fast forward or rewind effectively). One or two avis won't play at all, or just stop after a couple of seconds, but they work fine on my woman's machine, which is using VLC. I'll let you know if the latest version doesn't work then. - Original Message - From: Dave Scrimentidscrime...@comcast.net To: PC Audio Discussion Listpc-audio@pc
Re: Foobar or VLC?
Winamp will play most videos that I throw at it. But when it won't, I go to VLC. I don't know if the latest version is accessible. If it isn't, I can send you an older version that is. Haven't used Foobar in a long time. It was accessible. Don't think it can play as many filetypes as VLC. - Original Message - From: JM Casey crystallo...@ca.inter.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Friday, October 28, 2011 6:57 PM Subject: Foobar or VLC? Hello everyone. I'm very fond of Winamp: love the interface, the design, etc...however I am becoming exasperated with attempting to play videos with it particularly, and it always seems that there's something wrong with the codecs, or that yet another in the overwhelming line of video formats won't play properly, or that some plugin has a nonstandard interface that won't really work properly with my screenreader (jaws 11). I'm thinking of trying out these two players...VLC I already know works great for videos of all sorts; Foobar comes highly recommended, has a supposedly text-based interface and apparently allows you to set up global hotkeys which you can use to control the programme from any window, which I really like. Just wondering if any other screenreader users particularly have experience with those and have any tips to offer me before I dive in, etc. Don't really have a lot of time to tinker endlessly with stuff so I'd appreciate any advice..what works, what doesn't, and so on.
