   Reviewing 1.0 (Jan 25, 2010)

   Finally got around to installing v1.0 (backed up my existing config first, of course) and sure enough, I get the following dialog: The following components are either not installed correctly or no longer supported in this version: foo_amipwrapper.dll, foo_audioscrobbler.dll, foo_discogs.dll, foo_dsp_ssrc.dll, foo_dsp_vlevel.dll, foo_infobox.dll, foo_input_tta.dll, foo_lyricsdb.dll, foo_playlist_bind.dll, foo_prettypop.dll, foo_uie_quicksearch.dll, foo_uie_trackinfomod.dll, foo_uie_vis_projectm.dll. They will be deleted when you click OK.
   
   Really? They'll break the program if you keep them there? No thanks. Great music player but I got too much invested in existing plugins and frankly I simply don't have the time to run off looking for updates for plugins I'm already exceedingly happy with. Ship an update checker with the program next time, or include a "cancel, I've changed my mind and I don't want thirteen of my plugins blown away" button. Seacrest out.

   Nice. Now all colors and fonts are easily changed. If it would update plugins and notify of any new ones (as well as serve up your favorite beverage) it would be too perfect.

   I'm with roj.
   
   No more custom context menus? There goes half the point of using the easy-to-access functionality of foo_quicktag, and all the other first-level menu tweaks I had in place. Now, all I see for many of them is a crappy "Legacy Commands (unsorted)" menu item.
   
   Wow.

   Still my favourite player: Supports a lot of formats, still relatively simple layout, has some nice functionality like converting/adjusting tags/normalisation that some players lack. However, in my eyes the development goes in the wrong direction:
   - still no localisations (no respect for people speaking different languages?)
   - no support for MIDI files (so you can't make foobar your only player if you use them)
   - bloated with useless GUI configurability, which increases its size and prevents it on running on older operating systems such as Windows 2000

   Sooo, that components is PP blocking exactly? This ain't the Foobar forums, because of that fact I don't have to care which foobar denizens get their panties in a bunch (not that I would anyway) and inquiring minds want to know. :) :) ;)
