This poll should continue despite me already deciding to make the installer. I'm interested in the responses. Please post your comments on why you voted for whatever choice you chose in the poll. Thanks.

*Update* foobar2000 Inno Setup is back up. Check it out at link below.

foobar2000 Inno Setup here http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=26397

Well!

I voted to the third choice "Who needs it, I got Winamp".

And I have got my personal preferences on how to install Winamp.

I use my own MSI posted here when I want to install Winamp 5.03a.

I use my own JScript script posted here when I want to install any version of Winamp.

But I think your work should be necessary to other people, however.

Thanks.

Yea I understand Mazin. I basically did this for the newbies and for people who prefer foobar2000 and want an easy way to install what they want.

Sure! Wish you good luck.

I'm using iTunes... iTunes RULES!

Same as mazin here - got WinAmp and am happy with it (atleast on windows, I'll wake up to it the day foobar has a linux release ).

Another happy winamp user. (what in the world is fubar2000 anyways? sounds like a music player from what the poll suggests...)

hi.. foobar is a very light music player, supporting tons of audio formats.. i prefer it over winamp.. it doesnt have a "gooey" gui & doesnt support skins, but for my pc only uses 1000KB of ram, compared 2 winamp which uses 10,000 KB

regards

@MCT foobar2000 supports skins through the use of a UI plugins.
@mazin thanks.
@crahak its definitely a music player by a former nullsoft developer, Peter Pawlowski.

yes, i know.. but its not a native feature

@MCT
Oh ok. I didn't know if you knew that or not.

Voted yes cause well that associations screen is annoying and I don't have the time to make a script for every app I want to use. I was a long time Winamp user (with Enhancer better then DFX imo) but recently made the switch.
A fully customizable setup for fb2k would be wonderful

Actually, skins or not is a non issue for me. I like the way the controls and such are laid out, and it uses nice plugins. I use muchFX to "stack" 2 plugins, one to normalize the volume (rocksteady), and a sound enhancer/dsp (DFX, but I guess I might try enhancer soon, SRS didn't sound bad either). Constand volume and good sound are the main 2 criterias here. I just switched to v5 lately, but v2.91 (or whatever last was) is just as good for me (and lightweight).

I see its half and half now. That's great to see people having an interest in this.

I use foobar for a time now and think its very much ahead of winamp in terms of memory consumption and "overfeaturingness" ... Thanks for that setup, will take it into my unattended CD oh and btw, I voted 1

C.RAZY, Thanks for your support. I appreciate it. It gives me motivation to continue maintaining the setup.

I do it this way with the special install file from http://www.foobar2000.org/download.html:

-----------------------------------------------------
START foobar2000_0.8.3_special.exe /S
:kill
taskkill.exe /F /IM fooassoc.exe
if errorlevel 1 GOTO kill
exit
-----------------------------------------------------

I just kill the file-association window...

That.s good for you pepipo, its your choice. Some people prefer not to do that though. Some people want to silently be able to install what they want without windows popping up.

yep, i agree, if i dont have 2 use taskkill.. id rather not
