What media player do you use?
« on: February 03, 2010, 05:54:36 PM »
Who else uses foobar2000? It's pretty much the easiest, most customizable media player.

I have a pretty simple layout:


but the default layout is... well... lacking:


It supports every codec I've tossed at it really well, too. :D Plus all the components you can add to it to customize it is insane. The only extra thing I have on mine is an audioscrobbler for last.fm

I-tunes.  I use it because it is crap and a part of the Apple monopoly.

Winamp.  Been using it since version 2, and can't see much reason to stop.

Aqualung (http://aqualung.factorial.hu/).

I used to use foobar2000 on Windows, but it's not free software (it fails to grant the user freedoms 1 and 3). I want to create my own media player for GNU/Linux modelled on foobar2000, though.

Does it matter at all, as far as functionality and price(free) goes that foobar is not free software?

Yes. Proprietary software leaves the user helpless; you cannot know what the software is doing if you cannot see the source code. For more information, watch this video (best Richard Stallman speech I've ever seen): " class="bbc_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">

There's a second part to it in the related videos, too.

Regardless, for me the user, what does it matter? You can't see the source code but I know what it is doing: Everything I want it to do. Who cares what the licensing is on it

This. And because it has a compact interface. I hate huge ass players covering the whole screen.

So if the program is running spyware in the background, that doesn't matter. Now I see your point of view.

Maybe but does it matter? If its harmful spyware then yes I might care, but otherwise I'm not a privacy nutjob like you seem to be.

If you want to hand over control of your computer to corporations, why don't you just pack it up and mail it to Bill Gates?

Parsifal, since you seem to be retarted about how most users approach software, let me fill you in.

Most users don't have a disassembler on their computer. Fewer know any assembly languages. Yet for some reason, these people have all their software work and can do what they want their software to.

How do I know my software doesn't have spyware and such in it? Because if a program I'm using doesn't need a connection to the internet to function, I don't allow it through my firewall (which BTW, is also my virus scanner. It is commercial and not open source, yet my computer is virus free).

I understand that you think "free" software is best and "open source" is the best thing that can happen, but most users who use open source alternatives don't download the source, only binaries. Because they don't care about looking at the source and seeing HOW the program does what it does. All they care about is WHAT it does FOR THEM, which you don't need to look at the source code for.

I can't read.
There are plenty of programs that will trace routes through software, and even more that will do a disassembly. If you don't trust a program, disassemble it and trace through it.
