Portable Applications: Foobar
Monday, 12. November 2007, 05:40:02
Foobar is a modest but effective entrant in the portable media player arena, containing most of the same functionality as other media players (winamp, wm player etc..) it is definitely something to look at if you are able to get passed the hide and seek process of finding plugins.
Portable Apps Reviews:Foobar
Foobar is a multimedia player that not only runs off of a cd or usb thumb drive, but also supports a vast array of file types everything from svx to wma, while being a mere 14.7 mb (with plugins installed). Foobar isn't entirely without faults though, as a basic media player it gets the job done with no problem what so ever, but if you want any of the bells and whistles of other current media players your going to have to devote some time. Search functions, song labeling, album art, and many other features found on the likes of windows media player and itunes are available in individual downloadable plugins, the problem with the plugins is there is no central locations for them and it takes a minute on google to find them. This is especially frustrating when a downloaded skin only works if you have a different type of layout plugin. All in all though if you are willing to put in a little time or are just looking for something a little less flashy you will definitely find use for foobar. I'll give this a 6 out of 10 for being useful even in the face of painful setup. You can find foobar and more information at portableapps.com-db
