Foobar2000 is a new compact, fast developing audio player for Windows 2000/XP developed by Peter Pawlowski.
Foobar2000 has a specific emphasis on audio- and technical quality, not on skinning or visuals.
Foobar2000 feature list: (notice: player features constantly updating)
supported formats: MP3, Ogg Vorbis, MPC, FLAC, Ogg FLAC, WAV, MOD (needs foo_mod.dll), SPC (needs foo_spc.dll), Monkey's Audio (needs foo_ape.dll)
32bit floatingpoint audio processing pipeline, with 6dB hard limiter and conversion to 16/24bit (dithered) at the end.
lossy formats (MP3, Vorbis, MPC) are decoded directly to 32bit FP so there's no clipping
transparent rar/zip reading (slow)
full unicode support, new playlist format (m3u8) storing international filenames properly (using UTF-8)
runs *only* on win2k/winxp or newer
builtin SSRC resampler component (DSP)
reads APEv2 tags from MP3 files (id3v2 is not supported and will never be)
fully customizable keyboard shortcuts, including global hotkeys
ReplayGain support
crossfeeder
high quality equalizer
