Okay fine. I deleted my post. Only cause I didn't want to waste my 2000th post. But after an hour twiddling my thumbs on thinking of a good way to use it, I finally decided that I'm going to waste it on a pointless rant. Muhuahahahua! (Btw, I didn't realise that Dark_Lord saw my post when I deleted it...)

So I wish myself: Happy 2000th post.

Ecto is widely regarded as the best one.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

well then, anyone got an idea why it took ME so long? how can I check where the bottleneck is?

 

[aryayush]

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

I, to be quite frank, have none.

Why do you care though? The job is done, isn't it?


BTW, a standing applause please! It seems we have a "duck" in these parts.

My first disappointment with OS X.
I had to switch my HTPC rig from my Mac Mini to an old PC (AMD 3200+) running windoze

Reason: No foobar and KM Player for OS X
no good equivalent either

Yes, isn't iTunes and Front Row good enough?

One really cool Spaces feature I read about here:

When you’re in All Spaces mode, you can use Exposé triggers. It’s particularly useful if you enter All Spaces mode and then activate your All Windows Exposé trigger. The result is quite spectacular: you can now see all your windows in all your spaces, simultaneously! Click a window to switch to that space and bring that window frontmost, all in one amazing move.

Pretty awesome, isn't it?

I don't use Spaces though, so it is not useful for me. I have it disabled.

AFAIK for people used to foobar no other player feels better.
Some of my friends are like that.
Although i dont like it personally.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

On the Windows end I use foobar cause iTunes is slow, but on the Mac, I find iTunes + Front row just right.

Btw, supercar, try Cog, supposed to have the simple window interface.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

Try that Spaces thing sometime.

Look at this. This is the menu you get when you right click on a link in Mail:

I love these little touches.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

there's a different reason for me to use Foobar
I've got a reference grade amplifier and speaker set for my HTPC (Marantz PM17 and Phase Technologies Velocity V12 )

Foobar is one of the few players that can handle a bit-perfect ASIO output
What this means is if I play Cds/Lossless audio/High bit rate compressed audio, i get far better clarity than say itunes or winamp

As for Front row , it can't handle HD movies (usually x.264)
VLC (for OS X) does that, but VLC isn't designed to handle HD content and it starts dropping frames badly

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

Front Row handles HD content exceptionally well once you install Perian. Try it out.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

doesnt help the audio side still...

I hated doing it, all the more so coz the AMD machine is a lot noisier than the dead silent mini..
