After years with WMP, i'm fnally sick of the 80 mb of ram it takes. I've switched to foobar2000, and it only uses 5 mb!
However, I have had trouble customizing it. I managed to screw the interface up so much that it was unusable, followed by an uninstall and reinstall. So, I have the following questions:
1. Is there a plugin that can support video?
2. What list of plugins/skins do you people use? Could you please upload some screenshots and the list?
Thanks so much!
Your best bet to get the correct answers is to go to:
On the forums you'll find 3rd party plugins, configurations, etc. Once you do have Foobar2000 configured make damn sure you backup ZIP or whatever you use the following file:
C:\Program Files\Foobar2000\foobar2000.cfg
And note, Foobar2000 is an Audio Player, not a video player!
well, i tried customizing, and I would like other people's feedback. I can't make it the perfect player yet, and I have trouble with tagging and actually keeeping a library. That's why I would like other's opinion here (eg. screenshot, list of 3rd party things)
For tagging, I'd actually go with mp3tag. It's freeware and is much easier to work with for tagging .
WMP11 has worn out its welcome with me I think. Yesterday I was on my pc for like 3 hours strait at one point and I looked at my taskmanager and WMP was using over 100mb of ram.

WMP11 I'm no fan of in anyway.
I just looked and noticed that Foobar2000 when minimized and playing an MP3 is only using using 1,764k.
When maximized it's only using 3,236k.
But WMP11 is pretty and has all of my album cover art and stuff.

My Winamp got pretty much the same memory usage. I got Winamp 5.3 with classic style skin and no visualization. Modern skins are one hell of a memory hogs.
