Funny you mention this, I "found" foobar2000 when I spent a good amount
of time listening to the Virgin Radio feed... I have always been a
staunch supporter of WinAmp, been so for years, but the last ~12 months
have been very trying.. V3.0 seems like it will always be a pile of
crap, and the direction the WinAmp people have taken no longer seems to
be the "right" direction. 

I never knew about the schizms that have occurred in the legion of
people that brought WinAmp to us over the years, all I ever saw was a
united happy face, now with the AOL logo behind them. Usually when you
read a Cinderella/Snow White kind of story, after the hero (or heroine)
triumphs it's supposed to be Happy Ever After and then you quit reading
the book :) but this is a fairy tale that didn't end that way, it seems.

If I've read right the author of Foobar is an ex-Winamp contributor who
finally quit trying to contribute after being put through hell for his
efforts by the management. 
Foobar2000 is very impressive for the # of people behind it (just one?),
and I wish all the success in the world to it.
