foobar2000 doesn't have ability to amplify the volume on its own, but there is a component that will do that. https://foobar.hyv.fi/foo_dsp_amp.fb2k-component

Hello, Bhavya...

The answer to your first question, as far as I know, is..no. You already mentioned VLC...I don't think you'll find a better video player for pC than that. It is an amazingly versatile programme whose only real drawback may be the interface that makes it occasionally difficult to carry out certain tasks of which it is perfectly capable. Question number 2 -- it sounds like you are looking for a pre-amp? I believe this is accomplishable, though you may needa plugin. the foobar documentation is fairly extensive.

My video playback needs are extremely basic, so it is possible to use a plugin to add basic video playback support to Foobar 2000? Also, does Foobar 2000 have a feature to increase the playback volume to up to twice of the maximum of the speaker volume like VLC does? I would truly appreciate your inputs and thoughts. Thanks.

Um I do not know about the bookmarks feature, as I never use it.
One thing I noticed, however, is if you install PotPlayer on Windows 10, for some reason the context menu is not accessible, but this can be fixed by pressing the f5 key and going into the skins setting, and change the context menu to system default.

Well not sure about pot, but yeah, itunes has some good points.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
The chief among them is the use of gracenote which is really cool something in a hurry itunes will do it for me. If I want to buy something I want and can't find it other places, then itunes will have it. Right, so the biggest issue I have with itunes then is that it seems to add its own markups onto prices of things I know are cheaper in other digital stores. That and the fact the icloud app secures part of itself so system restore just doesn't work with it and no, I can't find any way to make that go away. There used to be a way but I can't find now now. If I need to recognise

I use both PotPlayer and iTunes. PotPlayer is quite accessible now, from my tests. I also use Foobar, but mainly for converting iTunes m4a files into mp3 files.

Yeah, but..it's a media player; do they really have to "go anywhere"? lol

Not that many new non-streaming media formats under the sun, for audio at least. Winamp as a video player isn't very robust.

There are a few things that winamp can't play but to be honest most chip stuff I get are remakes and mashups usually in mp3 as well as cross over chips. I like the interface of the winamp program to. Winamp is still aparently being developed but with its parent company becoming shoutcast, who knows. Its not been updated but winamp is on shoutcast's main page as a link, so its probably a given they havn't given up on it. However, winamp at least the version going on is wacup, or winamp community project, which is 5.666 with extras. To be honest though unless someone can revive, and update and add new things to a plugins database winamp is pritty much useless. The only reason I continue to use winamp is that I have ahd it since 2000 and have built up a stash of plugins and configurations I wanted to use.

I checked. You have to stop play, unselect it, then close the program. Trying to resume play after unselecting it makes the program crash as well as does trying to play a new file. Its an inconvenience but I don't use it much and it’s a minor one for me.

The plugin used to work properly in XP, but not in Windows 7.

It is completely independent of and doesn't require a screen-reader be used. Then, there is a plugin I use for slowing down or speeding up the speed of material. It doesn't keep the pitch constant, it slows down and speeds up speed as though you were using a variable speed control on a tape recorder or record player. That plugin is very useful to me. I digitized a lot of tapes and my tape recorder was running a little fast. I slow down the speed of the files when I play them in Winamp. They must be certain formats or the plugin doesn't work properly. I know MP3 will work, There may be others but I don't know what works and what doesn't.
