foo_pod - Foobar2000 meets the iPod
To clunesy: I am the first in line to praise & defend Aero in this forum, but I don't use foo_pod very much anymore, because it has limitations. If Aero expected monetary renumeration for his plug-in, he should have just came right out and said as much. If he wanted a donation, that's fine and good, but a donation cannot always be expected, and should not be expected. It is, what it is. I donate to a lot of organizations, but not all, and no one would expect me to, either. Considering that Peter does not charge for foobar2000, and none, save one plug-in developer charges for any of their plug-ins, then do you, or should you, really expect the majority of users to pay for a plug-in? Hopefully, Aero understood this when he took the project on, and if he expected to be paid, then he should have charged for it from the beginning. I believe that everyone should donate if they can, but the one asking for the donation should never "expect" anything. You can hope, but should never expect. Also, if Aero spoke to you about this in confidence, then it would surely be the last thing that you'd ever be told in confidence. To Aero (if you are still around the forum): Good luck with all of your future endeavours! I hope that you will continue with foo_pod, but I will not hold out any expectations of you doing so, any longer. Thank you very much for giving us foo_pod. Take care, and all the best.
