#4 He wants money for it, unlike Foobar... Foobar is such a.... well the name said it, you really just about have to be a software engineer (like many here) to make it work right. If XX HighEnd works, I see it as a real bargain, saving my poor brain from all the anxiety I would go through with Foobar.
This is a very valid point about Foobar. It is hard to configure to look good and do fluffy stuff like pictures, etc. However your point would be much much stronger if XX HighEnd would work!
Foobar might be complicated, but at least it installed easily the 4-5 times I have done so. Winamp also loaded with no hiccups.
Call me weird, but I would rather spend a weekend creating the look of a player and messing with output options a plugins, than paying for a player that wont install and I have to post on some forum just to get it to install.
I am all for a simple player that non-pc people can use. In fact we as a PC audio community really need such a thing. So far, at least for me XX Highend is not it, since it doesnt even play.
