Foobar2000

Have you ever been tired of the laggy itunes or windows media player... FEAR NOT.

Foobar2000 is here! It's kinda a normal music player, just that it uses less memory and very efficient. One thing though, it cant play videos.

Its a program created by users thought, so you can even make up your own layout of the player with just messing around with the code :)

Firstly when you first download it, it will be a normal typical look of a music player, like this :

Usually, the basic is the most easiest and quickest way to use it. But it looks so dull! What to do? :(

You mess with it >)

Firstly, you pick a layout from the internet (just google it or something). And you download it. There are many types of files you need to download, depending on which layout you chose.

I chose this. Click me baby.

So, the most important stuff of all, Panels UI. It is basically the whole thing which makes these happen. You download it, you extract it, then you open the foobar, and choose the Panels UI interface. You'll get something like this.

Omg, it's worse! how now?? Dont worry.

Now, you download your theme and you paste it in your directory. P/S: i kinda skip alot of stuff so if you wanna do it dont refer to me, theres a much better guide out there. So now, you open your foobar, you click File> Preferences > Display > Panels UI > Change the layout. So TADA.

You'll get something like this :) Now, in order to make this version function properly, you need to download some components. After you download it, paste it into your foobar directory. Yay.

But guess what, after all 2-3 hours i've spent to figure out all these, some of the components are outdated and no longer produced anymore. So i can't really use it :)

LOL. SO WHATS THE POINT OF POSTING THIS? XD NOTHING!

So im currently waiting for the components for someone to upgrade it lah. :D Go use your itunes or windows media player or anything lah :D Hehe-lah :D

Oh ya, just to let you know, i'm using this background :) Yeah you can change the backgrounds.

Looks familiar? Yeah, its Alicea's photo xD Looks great doesn't it wheee. Hope you dont mind Alicea. :P
