Re: foobar2000 safe mode ?

If foobar can't do the job, then surely a read-only user without write permissions on my network share would be the next best thing.
That is the first-best thing if you cannot tolerate changes to files. You said "laptop" and "completely safe" - then the laptop user should not have write access, and it should not be up to an application on the laptop to decide.
You can most likely tolerate changes to configuration (to be restored later). What about write-protecting configs? Dunno if it will cause other problems, though. Although that is easy to willfully circumvent, that is where protection against WTF did I accidentally do? suffices, right?
