Hi All,

Does anyone else use foobar2000 for their local music? I discovered it all the way back in middle school. I was a Winamp user back then. I checked it out briefly on a laptop I had. It's minimalism really intrigued me. Fast-forward to young adulthood, and it's one of the first pieces of software I install if I'm going to use Windows. I love the columns UI plugin. Can't use FB2K without it. The player just stays out of your way and does what it's supposed to do. No bloat, just great music.

Yep! I've been using it for years and years. Since at least 2003-4. I just used a recovery service to recover a dead hard drive that had all my music on it, so I've just gotten back into it again after many years of not needing a player at all.

46,000 songs, 465 GB... many from the early days of the .mp3 era.

It's such a fun app to use and configure. Everyone has a different setup and their own personal style of GUI etc.

Wow so many MP3s that's impressive. I only have a measly 3, 000 or so FLAC files. I collect CDs. So most are rips from my collection. I used to have a fair amount of MP3s, but like a fool I had a box of hard drives with one of them full of MP3s from my first computer build. I assume the drive was dead so I had my case supervisor and or Mom take the box of hard drives to the E-Waste dump. Of course I regret that now. My parents might have held on to an MP3 player that I had in high school that would have contained the MP3s. So I've just asked my mom if she can find it at their place.

Anyways it's great just find another foobar2000 user. I've created a community for foobar2000 and EAC https://lemm.ee/c/eac_foobar2000. Feel free to join if you want to.
