Silversword: /* Specific Guides */

==Introduction==

// Anyone good with intros?

* Streaming Support
* Extensive "plug-in" support
* Free

==Audio Formats Supported==

Native Support ("out-of-the-box"):
* [[MP3]], [[Ogg Vorbis]], [[MP2]], [[AAC]], [[WAV]], [[AIFF]], [[Musepack]], [[VOC]], [[SND]]

Supported through plug-ins:
* [[TTA]], [[FLAC]], [[Monkey's Audio]], [[WavPack]], [[Speex]], [[Mod]], [[SPC]], [[TFMX]], [[Shorten]], [[OptimFROG]], [[LPAC]], [[WMA]], [[AC3]], [[PSF]], [[NSF]], [[XID]], [[XA]], [[Matroska]]

Foobar2000 has been coded exclusively for the Windows platform with an English interface. The author does not intend to provide alternate language versions nor alternate platform versions. However, several people have had success running foobar2000 on x86 Linux systems by using [http://www.winehq.org/ Wine], although the Columns UI plugin is known to be problematic.

'''Note:''' The equalizer should '''not''' be used for "enhancing bass" and such. The equalizer's purpose is to correct non-linear frequency response in audio hardware. If you do not understand what that is, please do not use the equalizer.

=Gap Killer=

Look for periods of silence at the begining and end of tracks and attempts to remove them. Completely unneeded for formats with proper gapless support (LAME MP3, Nero AAC, Ogg Vorbis, lossless) and may actually break gapless decoding for these formats.

=SoundTouch=
Once SoundTouch is added to the "Active DSPs" list under the "DSP Manager" item in the preferences window this setting takes effect upon playing sounds in the player.

If "Apply slider changes in real-time" is enabled, adjusting sliders while items are playing take immediate effect on the output.
