But, considering most audio player users just want to listen without hassle, we have to score down a little. So, can it be used as a simple music player? Absolutely, yes, but whether you will want to is another question.Īgain, we don’t want to be too critical because it offers a lot for advanced users that you won’t get from other players.įor that reason, we are somewhat stuck on the fence again. Once you have a library filled with music, it’s easy to make playlists, and you can actually have multiple playlists available at once, each with its own tab. Once you figure out how to direct Foobar2000 to your watched folders (where you store your music), you’ll see that everything you add to those folders later will automatically be available in the player. With that in mind, if we take Foobar2000 at its most basic, we have an audio player that can arrange our music by artist, album, or playlist. Otherwise, looking too far ahead at features you don’t fully understand yet will only confuse you and put you off. It would be wise to start with the basics (unless you are an audio/tech wizz) and introduce new components as you progress. In other words, if you’re willing to put a little bit of time into it, you’ll get the hang of it, and everything will make sense. And, in discussing the GUI, we have been pretty firm in making that clear.īut, what we should make clear now is that despite not being entirely beginner-friendly, it’s not completely unsuitable for beginners. There’s no doubt about it, Foobar2000 comes with a reasonably steep learning curve. On the other hand, we should acknowledge the fact that it offers such depth and advanced flexibility. We are left in a somewhat tricky position on the one hand, the design will be far too convoluted for many users. There is a Theme Editor, but it does take some time to get used to, and you can easily see minutes turn to hours. The downside is that making changes isn’t as straightforward as a less tech-savvy user might hope. While that sounds like you are getting the best of both worlds, there is a downside. So, essentially, that means that your layout can be very simple or far more complex. However, that soon changes when you start to populate the player with music, and it starts to look a little more conventional.įoobar2000 has a modular design, which is made up of many different components. Initially, it seems like it has a somewhat dated image, and it’s unclear exactly how things work. Interface (although flexible) may deter beginners.Īs we mentioned already, the look of Foobar2000 can be a little off-putting.
