Minimalist music-audio Player
If you prefer music-audio quality over pretty GUIs you must try this program! Excellent, minimalist audio player. Easy to use and very, very low system resources. A better balance between minimalism and functionality. This awsome player. Small and fast and it sounds the best. This is minimalist to the MAX!
Foobar2000 is pretty simply audio player which you can rely on. Because It ‘Just Works.’ Not only for playing music, but for managing your audio files. After struggling with many other audio converter programs, I thought, why not use foobar2000? And it does the job perfectly. Foobar2000 is a basic player, very basic. The library is adequate and mildly configurable. Tagging is manual and limited. Playlist editing is also manual. There is an eighteen band equalizer, but it can only be accessed through menu and cannot be viewed by default.
While it’s beyond the scope of this review, more advanced users may want to enhance the looks of the player or add more functionality. Foobar2000 does not use skins, but uses, what would be more aptly described as, themes. A simple search on the internet will turn up a multitude of themes and plug-ins, but be aware that these third party items are written specifically for particular versions of Foobar.
Foobar is an advanced music media player that offers a lot of functionality usually not found in other players, for that same reason it’s a very popular choice among PC audio enthusiasts. Unlike your standard media player, Foobar is not the easiest program to learn, once you understand it however, it’s probably the best player you can use quality-wise.

I would recommend downloading the Special version, although you could also find most of the additional components available individually if you want to get them at a later time. For convenience sake, a Full install would be best, but if you are picky like me then you will want to select and choose the components you actually want in a custom installation.
