In a world where transitioning to a complete online experience has meant that even media playback turned to streaming, audio players for offline use are getting slowly pushed away from the game. However, things are not over yet, and for those who are still passionate about playing their favorite tracks offline, there’s still room for dedicated players.
Being around for quite some years now, foobar2000 has made itself a reputation as being a staple in today’s selection of audio players, due to its simple design and straightforward approach towards playback. Does this latest iteration live up to its longstanding performance?
Just as I remembered it from long ago, foobar2000’s design is clean and simple, very minimalist, offering a very good overview of the loaded tracks and the available playback options. Almost stripped to the bare essentials. Have this in mind if you’re really keen on more intricate designs though.
If you’re into a clean, uncluttered design, then you’re in for a treat. Previewing and working with the playlist items is simple, and so is the actual playback itself. No issues to report here.
As stated above, playing your favorite tracks will be a breeze, thanks to the very basic controls, which offer unhindered access and operation. However, just as with the general design of the app, they do tend to be more on the very basic side of things.
One aspect which is not as basic as the rest of the app is its settings bank, which will allow for a very thorough configuration.
If you’re looking for a basic audio player, which is straightforward and doesn’t mess around with intricate designs, while still retaining the essential functionality for smooth playback, then foobar2000 might be the right choice for you.
