bare bones media player foobar 2000 is a bare bones media player for MP3, WAV, OGG and other media formats. It comes without any bells and whistles, in fact the interface looks like a plain old Windows folder. However, under the hood, the program offers quite a few features, including customizable title formatting, WAV conversion, Equalizer, Resampler, MP3 tag writing, playlists, music album, CD player, drag/drop and more. It also includes all of the standard features like shuffle, random play etc. foobar 2000 runs in the system tray and uses very few system resources. Additional components (including a Monkey`s Audio decoder) are available to extend the functionality. No documentation provided.

Audio perfection! 5 stars by orion79 (Read all my 2 reviews)
A -MUST HAVE- player for every person who respects himself/herself!! 1:Supports an awful lot of different formats 2:With the proper components you can bypass windows mixer and set the output as an ASIO DEVICE, WASAPI OR KERNEL STREAMING!! How COOL is that! 3:Feel free to configure Foobar in your own specific way 4:Great management of your music library and mass tagging options(by using just a component!!) 5:Many encoding formats and options 6:Almost non-existent memory footprint 7:For those of you feeling uncomfortable to use the player please check out the guide and the charts at Wikipedia,under:Music player comparison (software) 8:If you are still not sure about this,return to your familiar player. showShow review details
If you just want to listen to your music..... 5 stars by oldgoat
...this one beats the competition hands down! I'm a very recent convert - 0.9.6.1 was my first version installed - and I haven't got all the features working yet, but for what its designed to do, it rocks! I've tried WMP - very graphic, smart, but simply hopeless if you throw flac, ogg, ape etc at it, or try to read those tags. I've tried WinAmp, and got fed up with the messy interface and fiddly controls. Then I bumped into FooBar..... Organise, tag, convert, play, even watch the EQ visuals if you want, but all with no fuss. I haven't found a music file format it can't play either. If you're prepared to spend a little time learning it, and take the trouble to download the extra components, it simply delivers the goods. The folks on the forum are helpful, no matter how daft a newbie question you ask, too! showShow review details
Positively excellent 5 stars by DrGerm (Read all my 4 reviews)
I think that those who have given negative reviews either have unnecessary expectations or have not spent enough time delving into Foobar to give an appropriate recommendation. I've used for a short while and have been simply amazed. I just did not know that this level of customizeability was possible. Plus, I am finding all sorts of features that is turning me into an amateur audiophile. The appearance may be a little simple, but I have easily set up a very attractive interface and I am just in love with it. Give it a try! showShow review details
