Advice Request What Audio/Video Software Do You Use?

[amirr]

I don't watch online video nor stream music, occasionally I'll slap on the headphones and listen to some tunes I have on my computer, for that I use Windows Media player, part of my mantra now to try to use Microsoft/Windows 10 programs or accessories as much as possible. Very few 3rd party programs here to bug up things.

Do you recommend Foorbar2000?

First off - thanks for this thread. We've had some wonderful weather this April here in England, but today is very wet and much cooler, a perfect time to be at home during lockdown, after working this morning, and re-appraise' both my online and 'from file' listening and viewing habits on the various players mentioned here.

I've been lazy I guess, and used VLC for just about everything it can handle for some time. I like it for this reason -



and have been very comfortable using it for maybe 15 years. I've tried many other players over that time and before, Foobar200 is a blast from the past that I'm going to check out again - thanks for the reminders that it exists. I'm going to play around with other players mentioned above, thanks for the mentions.

Warn the neighbours it may be noisy here!

Edit - I should add that I use Spotify for streaming music and would like to use it to discover more music, but its algorithms are rubbish for finding similar things to what I listen to, or maybe my choices vary too much for them to make head or tail of my tastes.

Nice setup! You’ve got a solid mix of apps for different needs. How do you find Cherryplayer for radio streaming? I’ve heard it’s pretty versatile. Also, have you tried using Foobar2000 for podcasts as well, or do you prefer GOM Audio’s interface? Apple Music definitely delivers great sound quality, especially with Lossless and Spatial Audio.
