But the link to download SSRC isnt working
|
yup... apparently, it has gone into the next version
btw, the dev's home page is
here .. check there for updates
yup.. the list is updated regularly... the only prob is see with foobar. the player itself is fine , but the community is a bit disorganized. having jumped to foobar from Winamp via QCD, both of which had structured communities, the foobar community looks like a big free-for all

they are recommending that you dont set resampling to anything more than 48khz as the hardware is capable of only that much.
|
in case you're running it on an old soundcard or an AC 97 onboard, in which case , it would be pointless to upsample beyond 48
BUT, the audigy 2 and above ARE capable of 96 khz, and actually sound the best at that rate. You might have to completely bypass the DSP engine to get the high quality playback
|
increasing the sample rate isn't going to increase your quality...you're starting from a 441000Hz source, doubleing that to 882000Hz will only have an intermediate sample between samples that aren't actually doing anything, eating up processor power for absolutely no benefit.
|
if you resample from 44 to 88, there isnt much difference, but if you are resampling from 44 to 48, it actually reduces the fidelity because you cant fit a square peg in a round hole , and resampling is all about trying to spread 44 samples over 48 slots, and the distribution will almost always be imperfect.
but at 96 K, almost double that , you stand a chance of reducing the damage, as it were to teh signal
btw, upsamling DOES help..
see this for a visual analogy.. the bottom pic is an upsampled version of the middle one

And another thing..... I downloaded foobar 0.9 for the first time today. For the past 1 yr, I was using the old versions.... in those version, whichever track I selected would play next after the current track.
But now, it plays in the proper order. How do I change that ??
And another thing...how do I change the looks of foobar ?? Chaos's setup looks different..... where do I download the skins or whatever ??
|
I'm also a foobar noob, just installed it a few weeks back to try this out , so i've got no idea how to troubleshoot it .. mine install works,and i'm thankful for it
but from the looks in your screenies, it seems you're running the stock UI... try out coulumns_ui from
here
