First question: I was trying to compile the cool_neromp4.
After getting the needed files from the Nero SDK, i get this error:
"\neromp4.cpp(579) : error C2520: conversion from unsigned __int64 to double not implemented, use signed __int64
Error executing cl.exe."

Also when am trying to compile cool_vorbis, the log says "vorbisfile.h" is missing.
When i open the foobar dsw file (SDK), i get loads of missing static files.
Plus a bunch of errors in other compiles: plugins etc.

Do i have a bad VC++ install, or is wrong settings somewhere.?
Am only used to VB. so i am kinda blank on C/C++.

I've not tried to compile the nero plugin, so I can't comment.

But, if you want to compile the cool_vorbis plugin, you will need the oggvorbis libs, and if you want to build foobar components, be aware that some of them require other libs to compile. The foobar SDK includes the foobar essentials, in many cases the other libs are external.

The error you get is normal on plain MSVC 6 intallation. You can either modify the code to convert unsigned __int64 to signed format (change the line in question to "if ( seconds ) *seconds = (double)(__int64)_duration / 1000.0;") or you can update your MSVC with latest Platform SDK.

Thanks for your very precise answers, i think i got it solved now.
John, regarding the vorbis libraries, i don`t think it should be no problem
getting hold of it. But do you know where to get those external libs,
used by foobar.?

IIRC, primarily you need the APE Monkey's audio libs, the FLAC libs and the oggvorbis libs, and I think that's all.

FLAC from: http://flac.sourceforge.net/
and
