Foobar2000 Customization Topic

[LiquidGUI]

Hey Waylander, why are you encoding normal albums into FLAC? Its not like you are transfering from person to person and need some lossless way to do it. Just stick to lossy codecs for albums that you got off a CD, you wont notice the diffrence on even 400$ computer speakers. Its mainly so that a live recording will stay intact and that it will never lose any quality.

[mitchmalibu]

as if having a lossless source was that useless, you can reencode it in whichever format you want, and i'm sorry to say that with a nice set of headphones, a good soundcard (which doesn't resample) and a good foobar configuration, you can really hear some (slight, i agree) differences. if diskspace isn't an issue, it really worth the size.

[Dom]

Well, if you dont have amazing speakers, it dosent worth the disk space... as for me im happy with how my mp3s sounds :p

[Waylander]

for a start my audigy isnt just connected to some $10 desktop speakers, i connect it to my Marantz's PM6010OSE and Eltax Liberty 5+ speakers, i also use Sennheiser Hd-570 headphones, not the best equipment in the world but it all gets decent reviews. i dont do everything losslessly just my favorite stuff, im a big fan of aphex twin/richard d james so have a lot of his stuff in either flac or ape.

i will say over the noise of my pc i often cant hear any difference but when using my headphones i can

[Waylander]

also has anyone got an impulse file for sennheiser hd 570's? this would make my day as i have been wanting to try the convolver but cant find a impulse file for my cans.

[Dom]

And you had to double post? i like those headphones, wish i could get em

One word: HAHAHAHAHAHA :p

Anyway!

In your case 38 pages, but with about 1500 posts!

Maybe it's time for a new thread and to close this one!

Just to keep overview. ;) 1500 posts are enough for new users, i think.

((((( Strictly4me )))))

[Xor van Dorf]

I am trying to make my foobar with more infos, but I can't change the height of the playlist switcher. Where do I go?

[leetl90]

thanks

[Cloud Constructors]

how do you change the color of the visualization on foobar? mine is red on black and I can't change it!

[Ambience]

right click the visualisation. There should be "fore colour" and "back colour" or something similar.

If they're not there, you gotta go into preferences and find it.
