> Do you have a link to SRC? I can't find the straight SRC.There are (were) two SRC's floating around. The first one
(the one that became "famous") was for Foobar 8. This
was apparently taken (from source code freely available
under the GPL license) and made into a dll by a helpful
programmer and published on a number of Web sites.
But then the author of SRC, Erik de Castro Lopo,
(who was apparently -- this is my guess -- motivated by the fact
that some audio manufacturers had become interested in SRC for
commercial purposes) claimed that publishing the Foobar dll binary
plug-in was a violation of SRC's GPL license, and demanded that it
be removed from the Web. All the Western sites complied right
away, though SRC for Foobar 8 was available long after it
"shouldn't" have been on some Asian Web sites (from which somebody
like me has to download from without being able to read
in detail). That version is going to be very difficult to
locate, unless you can persuade somebody to e-mail it
to you privately (in violation of applicable laws, etc.,
etc.)However, now that the author of SRC has made the terms of
commercial use quite clear, he seems to have relented on
the private use of SRC with Foobar. So, from "Mega-Nerd"s
own Web site http://www.mega-nerd.com/SRC/fb2k.html you can now
download an SRC dll once again. However, this new SRC seems
to be for Foobar 9 only (I haven't tried it under 8, but I
wouldn't expect it to work). So to use it, you'd have to
upgrade to Foobar 9, if you haven't already.
