Any Windows PC built during the last 15 years should be OK. Windows XP - SP2 or newer, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012. I wanted to put the skins in one central location, as I greatly admire this program. Most of the websites these UI are hosted on have become abandoned or mishandled. Various customized unofficial UI layouts from around the internet. Open component architecture allowing third-party developers to extend functionality of the player.Support for ripping Audio CDs as well as transcoding all supported audio formats using the Coverter component.Easily customizable user interface layout. So here ar the 15 best foobar2000 skins:- How to Install a foobar2000 Skin Copy everything to your fooobar2000 folder.Supported audio formats: MP3, MP4, AAC, CD Audio, WMA, Vorbis, Opus, FLAC, WavPack, WAV, AIFF, Musepack, Speex, AU, SND.When installing a skin, check the version of foobar it's been designed for.Always keep your components up-to-date, unless it may cause compatibility issues.Foobar2000 is an advanced freeware audio player for the Windows platform. Backup your files if you're not sure of what you're doing export or copy your working scripts when you're about to take risks.Īvoid installing old skins on current foobar versions and vice versa.I personnally recommend to install skins in fresh foobar2000 installations to avoid compatibility issues between different versions of a component (WSH Panel Mod in particular).That being said, if you've checked the components and their version and there's no conflict, you sure can install several skins on a single foobar2000. I have tested different installations (testing different skins with different features) and lost track of the origin of the fact that the main installation as well as others have certain settings for Main Window and Notification Area that I haven't noticed before. I mostly use portable installation instead of normal installation, for it's easier to install skins into and you can multiply your foobar2000s as much as you need, knowing that there will be no conflict of any sort (no need to update anything or to have two skins aside).īeware the updating of components, which can disable a part of or the entire skin however it doesn't happen a lot 'cause AFAIK no component is currently under development. I have multiple portable installations of Foobar2000 beside the main installation.

Just copy the core files (database etc.) from an installation to the other to keep your library and media player settings.

If you're good at coding and you're not too ambitious, you can stick with foobar2000's code to create graphic elements.
