The Seeker Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 The program description needs to be changed, as foobar2000 no longer supports Monkey's Audio out of the box.Supported audio formats: MP3, MP4, AAC, CD Audio, WMA, Vorbis, FLAC, WavPack, WAV, AIFF, Musepack, Speex, AU, SND... and more with additional components.

robertcollier4 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Changelog 1,2: FFmpeg is now used for MP3, AAC and Vorbis decodingIs FFmpeg currently considered the best? (lowest cpu usage, lowest memory usage, best bit-to-bit output detail).Does anyone know what AIMP uses for decoding? Does AIMP use FFmpeg as well?

Administrator DKT27 Posted December 29, 2012 Administrator Share Posted December 29, 2012 Changelog 1,2: FFmpeg is now used for MP3, AAC and Vorbis decodingIs FFmpeg currently considered the best? (lowest cpu usage, lowest memory usage, best bit-to-bit output detail).Does anyone know what AIMP uses for decoding? Does AIMP use FFmpeg as well?The license seems to suggest AIMP uses Bass library.As for Foobar, FFmpeg quality depends on how well the software manages to use it. However, I'm yet to try it after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertcollier4 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 The license seems to suggest AIMP uses Bass library.Thanks, the BASS library seems to be excellent. The author of that library has a very lightweight player called XMPlay (http://www.un4seen.com/xmplay.html) that is only a 335KB download.I am trying XMPlay with the DirectSound output plugin set to output 44.1khz 16-bit (the native format of my sound card and the native format of most of my audio files) - and from initial tests the quality is sounding better than Foobar2000 with the Kernel Streaming output plugin. The sounds in XMPlay are coming thorugh much richer and more crisp. Memory usage with XMPlay while playing a large song is quite low at between 1-2MB.
