You'll also find tabs for viewing a spectrogram, a spectrum, and VU meter of music currently being played. The largest panel displays track lists. Using the menu options, we were able to successfully pull music files from a CD, load them into the player, play them without issues, and save them as MP3s or WAVs. You can also display album art, and synchronize with portable players including iPods.

The image shows all available outputs to Foobar. As each sound card has more than one out the list is quite long. Before accesing a device through ASIO a virtual device has to be created first. Follow the arrows in the same order to add a device. Select one, click OK and configuration is over. Some Plugins create entries on the left pane where their options can be configured.

Go to part 2 for further instructions. For those interested in playing from RAM here is are the required steps to setup Foobar to load the entire file to played in RAM and play it from there instead of the HDD, this way there will no disk access during play avoiding possible mechanical noise, reducing heat and power consumtion. This only works for music files and not for large. If a disc is ripped to a single file and loaded into Foobar to play it from RAM it will be impossible to navigate tracks and guessing will be required to find the begining and the end of each song.

This can be avoided by simply ripping to an indivual file per track. When configuring the RAM buffer bear in mind total system memory, most modern PCs come at least with 3 or 4GB which should leave enough for a quite large buffer provided you are not running multiple apps when listening to music.

Also, 32bit and 64bit have different requirements the later needing more RAM for system services and apps. If ripping to WAV the buffer may need to be increased to ,KB in order to make sure even the biggest file can be fully loaded.

Customizing the current track information in the status bar. Here is an example of how it is possible customize the displayed information in the status bar lower left part of the screen so it shows relevant technical infomation about the track being played.

High resolution multi channel 5. Hello, thank you very much for creating this, it was very useful. My question is how I can know the the playing process is bitperfect? Regrds: Laszlo. Well done. Today with a new PC, looking for some other ideas, find your site, and does not understand much better with time, is just you make it simpler.

What do you mean? There are just too many DACs in the market to cover them and any way it will be way byond the scope of this guide. Why did you remove my last comment? For me it was the ultimate solution of playback without interrupts in the music. Hoewer, you could convert to 5. I would not give wasapi all priority, but Foobar itself. It is also better to run the program on one core.

Is that mean I have to unzip the file into a local folder and install the two. Thank you! But, what in regards to the bottom line? Are you positive concerning the supply?

I believe that I followed the instructions exactly, including letting the system define all of the default folder locations. What have I done wrong? Should I just start over?

Just playing around with this new download. I understand that 89dB is the default. How do I change that if so desired? Thank you. Yes those are the results that will be applied to the files. I like to prevent the system from searching for new files after Foobar has started; to do this, right-click the path and de-select Monitor for Changes. Make sure to always click the Apply button to save any settings changes you make in Preferences.

Good afternoon everyone. I am writing here to express my frustration with the problem I am having. For a month now, I have the LKS mh-da dac which, despite being Chinese, has very good reviews and comments. Well, for a month now it has been totally impossible for me to achieve a normal operation in the reproduction of music.

This dac, it has the Amanero usb board and, for a month, I have tried everything humanly possible, install and uninstall drivers, change windows 7 to 10 operating system, a thousand settings in Foobar, test JRiver, HQPlayer, change the usb cable of Stock for an Audioquest Diamond, praying to the Virgin Mary, etc, etc, etc … I always run into the same problem which is the following: cuts, stops, player blocked, frozen, nothing works.

Sometimes it starts to play and all of a sudden it freezes, freezes, it is as if you drag the usb cable violently, always like this. My pc is an i7, with 16 gb of ram and Windows It may be that my pc does not support this service …? The Amanero USB board of my dac may be broken …? I might have to configure something on my sound card …? The latter I do not think because the dac drivers pass over the sound card … Any feedback will be welcomed.

Thank you…. Thanks for your answer. I have been suspecting for days that the origin of the problem is the same one that you tell me, the Amanero plate. Yes, I will contact the manufacturer. Thank you guys for taking the time to enlighten those of us beginning to use foobar but may not be sufficiently able to configure it appropriately or even understand certain configuration How-to.

I am pleased to have found this page. Again, thanks! The playlists load with no artwork and will not play. I have playlists.

I don't need a DVDRom drive for foobar. Paths in Playlists are hardcoded, so if the paths are different on your 2nd PC, then they won't work. Old thread revival! I'm having real problems with this, copying of the Foobar appdata folder just gives a pile of rubbish. Nothing like what I'm seeing on the original computer. A step by step idiots guide would be very much appreciated if possible? Panic over, worked it out.
