I'm a long time user of foobar2000 on Windows. Due to a boot manager nightmare with Windows (long story with multiple drive swapping and testing), I decided to install a new copy of Windows on another drive. It was the least of the headaches since I have sync accounts for browsers, know the software I use, know where my settings are saved and how to copy them, etc. And of course I had to reinstall foobar2000.

I noticed there were significant version differences as I was using 1.something and you're on a 2.x version now. Fortunately I was still able to get everything configured back rather painlessly from my global hot keys to my playlists and the rating system, which is part of the playback statistics component I used. I copied over some files from the AppData\Roaming folder for foobar then tweaked the window layout manually. Even between major versions everything just worked.

Thank you all who contributed to make Foobar awesome!

I'd like to add my thanks to the programers... Foobar's versatility... its EXCELLENT application of the Meier Crossfeed DSP, and its ability to run (almost perfectly) on my Chromebook, my different iDevices, and my Windows 10 PC.

Hopefully, I'll run across some users who frequent Ontario's monthly Audio Engineers Society (AES). I know a guy (AH) who goes to the meetings almost monthly.

Since 2017, I've been bouncing around headfi.org ... on their Schiit Audio threads. And I enjoy this ridiculous hobby (headphones, tweaking DAC settings, digital audio). If there's ways to give back to the community, let me know eh.
