    Continues to work great and has improved quite a bit with v1.0.

    However, what foobar could really use is a better online community site to function as a centralized repository for plug-ins and themes (like Mozilla has done for FF). They have featured some popular ones which is nice, but it can be a pain to track down others.

    FIXED the annoying playback/next sound glitch!
    The reverse plugin still works and is now a 'legacy' plugin. Name one other audio player which can play in reverse. aimp couldn't touch this on it's best day.

    i tried to use it several times but it's poor without plugins. And the plugins development are idle and for older versions.
    main reason i left it is that foobar is so complicated with all those version incompatibility plugins. i prefer aimp2

    The best audio player going. If you don't use it, you don't deserve to live.

    Actually, no I wasn't. That statement was based on MY initial reaction to the configuration menus and their plethora of options ("Oh crap - where do I start? All right Roj, one step at a time").

    Get it out the door already - I want my Christmas present early! :) :) ;)

    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. :) :) ;)
