Former web architect and agile project manager at the University of St Andrews and previously warden at Agnes Blackadder Hall. Scrum master at Safeguard Global latterly at Sky and Vision/Cegedim. I regularly review metal, hardcore, punk and rock reviews at 195 metal CDs. My lossless files might be 24/96, but I usually transcode to 48khz lossy max as these are my 'portable' files.I’m Gareth J M Saunders, 51 years old, 6′ 4″, father of 3 boys (including twins).Įnneagram type FOUR and introvert, I am a non-stipendiary priest in the Scottish Episcopal Church, I sing with the NYCGB alumni choir, play guitar, write, draw and laugh. But a heads up if that's important to you. One con so far: It doesn't like 24/96 files and refuses to play them - not a big issue for me as my lossy files are usually 48khz max (no point, imo, having a 96khz lossy file).

It also has recently added tracks (very important for someone like me who is constantly adding new music), and it seems to have some podcast, audiobook and radio streaming functionality which I haven't played around with yet. last.fm scrobbler, will show how many tracks you have, will show minutes per album etc. Scans a music folder, or folders, for new music if you want. Quick fade in / fade out on stop / start. Allegedly it handles large collections, but I won't know that for a few months as I'm re-doing all my lossy rips this winter. That means it should run on lower memory systems, although I haven't really tested that. Gapless (at least for AAC's - haven't tested MP3's yet) MusicBee, on the other hand, can be up and running in 5 minutes. Foobar2000 is like Linux - extremely powerful but requires a lot of research and tweaking. The immediate pro over Foobar2000 is the 'it just works' factor. So much so that it's replaced Foobar2000, at least for now (I know myself well enough to know that nothing is permanent - I think I've used all the main music players out there, at one point or another).

I actually just happened upon this program and I really like it, so far.
