Foobar skins

TriedandTested · 13 Sep 2007 at 18:56

After reading through this: http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/09/12/pc_audio_101/1 and being nicely surpised by the quality different i am now looking for something to make Foobar look a bit more, well, less bland.

Skins? Any help would be great.

Foobar FAQ said:
Q: Does foobar2000 sound better than other players?
A: No. Most of “sound quality differences” people “hear” are placebo effect (at least with real music), as actual differences in produced sound data are below their noise floor (1 or 2 last bits in 16bit samples). Foobar2000 has sound processing features such as software resampling or 24bit output on new high-end soundcards, but most of other mainstream players are capable of doing the same by now.

I haven't that article just yet though so not going to comment, just copy&paste

That's probably true, but i've been using wmp to play my music and i'm pretty sure it doesn't sound quite as good. Not a massive leap by any means, but seems crisper. Using some universal ASIO drivers for my card.

sorry to hijack the thread, how do you add skins to foobar? I've found a couple i like but can't seem to find any way to import them?
