hi
sadly i don't understand german
might you please help me to customize?
thanks

That's nearly impossible for the specific configuration,or for any custom one.
The easiest thing to do is for @robertospeed to export his .flc file and components list and upload it for everyone like thin bLue did.

Im jealous as I run a Mac and you cant use the GUI in Foobar.
I believe a lot of Mac users would come over to Foobar as itunes or "music" has its limitations.
itunes great on portable devices but not as a main interface for digital source material.

If any Mac users are able to chime in if the have found an acceptable GUI example that comes close to the PC version.

Maybe I haven't read the instructions correctly?

Thanks for that, appreciated.
I believe you run it under a Windows app shell which involves two further programs. Messy and really still wont meet the same level as the PC version.
The Mac version is very limited but would work just like itunes from a GUI perspective.
There must be a good reason why the developers are unable to replicate the Mac version to the high standard of the PC version.
Never mind, cant have everything considering Foobar is free. Really impressed with a number of people willing to put so much time into free software which is also being constantly updated. VLC, REW etc.

I believe that sound-wise both will be the same,no doubt about it.
Now,the reason for Mac not to have skins developed by authors is that first is fairly new and second is Mac's close environment.

If only Columns plug-in was available for Mac,it's not like these Darkone ones or others but it's a huge improvement over the stock one.
Maybe a request on foobar forum?

IF some tracks have noise in the background with FooBar2000 and your using Default settings you can go into FILE at top LEFT corner, click preferences and choose Gain setting tab to be none.

Metallica For Whom The Bell Tolls was extremely noisy with much static noise until I turned gain setting to none.

Replies to my thread where not helpful, then it was deleted to help with spam? even though it would have helped many people I have no doubt...

Tidal has the same issue with this song so maybe check gain settings if you have Tidal also.

What are you talking about? Your thread is right here:

Foobar2000 & Tidal Static noise on some tracks but not others...

Foobar 2000 AND Tidal have Same issue with same track. Audacity and USB audio player pro have no static. Even music bee plays this track much cleaner but their frequency response is not neutral and very far from that. Track example is: For Whom The Bell Tolls by Metallica. Other tracks from...

Also the replies to your thread were right on the money: the issue was not a software bug or something, it was an issue with your setup. The gain setting in Foobar was even directly mentioned.

Edit: Looks like you found the thread right before I replied.

I have been using foobar2000 for many years, and I have listened to this track many times, and it sounds great with foobar2000 v2.24.4 [32-bit] with ASIO+DSD Output 0.4.6 component

My install of 1.6.18 crashed while updating 3 components about a week ago, then crashed every time I'd launch it. I had to delete all Foobar2000 files and do a fresh install. Now no matter what I do foo_input_sacd refuses to install, so obviously I can't play and SACD files. All the SACD files are the latest versions from SourceForge too. What the hell am I missing or doing wrong? I had no issue playing SACD files for several years, now I can't get it to work no matter what I try. I'm about ready to lose my shit.
