Sorry, not currently planned, but I'll keep it in mind if I ever update the app again (the UI was made 10 years ago and has not been changed since).
You can press+hold the << >> buttons to quickly seek by any amount of time though.

Thank you, Sir!

It's the lightest player I've ever had the chance to meet. It has been taking care of my needs very well, but the lack of a SeekBar has proved to be remarkable in many moments.

Hi!

While using foobar2000 to organize my vast library of files, I was looking for another audio player that was very light to play random audio files and found this one, which in my opinion is the lightest available for this purpose.

I like the explicit resemblance to foobar2000, however the absence of the seekbar makes the Boom less functional.

Considering that my main foobar theme contains a "heavy" Media Library, I did another minimal theme for foobar2000, with almost nothing, but still in my tests Boom is considerably lighter and faster to open and run files of audio.

Please, if not asking too much, add a seekbar to the Boom Audio Player as soon as possible. An optional addendum, for example.

Thanks in advance...

I fully support the thoughts expressed here in this thread. I was on the verge of creating one exactly in the same regard, but judging by the absolute identity of purposes, I thought it would be more useful to use this space.

The Boom player is the lightest player on Planet Earth. I was very well served by the MPC-BE player for quick playback of audio files, especially when I'm in front of a new album and want to have a quick overview of its contents.

Boom player is surprisingly even more responsive than MPC-BE, but the absence of the SeekBar feature literally KILLS the program's usefulness. Using the "<< >>" buttons as an alternative is not a valid option and is therefore terribly counterproductive.

I've been a devoted fan of foobar2000 for many, many years. As I had a recently closed CD store, I use it for the purpose of organizing a large (huge) library of audio and video files (I use the "mpv" component) that I ripped on the computer. There is no other player/organizer of audio and video files in the world that offered me as much speed in tasks as foobar2000 (I took care to test everything that exists), all thanks to the excellent workflow offered by extraordinary customization that can be done in the software. For anyone who knows what they're doing, foobar2000 is clearly and comfortably way above the top.

As a result, having integrated a theme into foobar2000 that I developed and constantly enriched over the years, I have preferred to use an accessory player for quick auditions. "Boom" would be - by far - this player. It offers a taste of foobar2000 without having to resort to theme switching.

So, first of all, I would like to express my immense gratitude to those responsible for foobar2000. A large file organization that could last around a year was possible to complete in a few weeks, thanks to the software's aforementioned customization capacity.

And finally, I fully endorse the thoughts expressed above so that, with due respect, the addition of the so-called "SeekBar" feature to Boom is effectively considered.

Thank you for reading this petition.
