CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Extensive configuration options distinguish Foobar2000 from its competitors. Although most features of the program are not visible in the main window, a long list can be accessed through the main menu and in the Preferences section. Here you can configure, among other things, the display interface, disk writer, and album list, and even limit the CD reading speed.
The powerful equalizer and resampler are particularly impressive. Unfortunately, the program doesn't support the RM audio format, though it supports most others. Foobar2000 is likely to please those looking for a greater measure of control over their audio players.

Version: Foobar2000 0.9.5.3
Cons: I'm the author of this software and I don't quite remember ever submitting anything to cnet. The description apparently attributed to me is wrong/confusing, contains outdated info (apparently copied from our wiki without permission) and most certainly doesn't come from me.
Does cnet do anything to verify software submissions?

Version: Foobar2000 0.9.5.3
"Extremely SLOW to load a playlist."
Pros: Not much really.
Cons: This software suffers from the same glitch as iTune. It takes forever to load songs into it's playlist. Winamp does it almost instantly regardless of the size of the mp3 folder.
