Pure Player
I have been trying a few media players lately and the one that sounds the best on my system is Pure Player.
It has it's limitations as it's very basic but well worth trying. I don't think it will stream internet radio (it changes files into WAV) so I will be keeping Foobar.

Might be an idea to link to the site and then that lets people decide if they want a download or not. I clicked on the link and something I don't necessarily want is now in my laptop.Originally Posted by Covenant

I'm Confused.
I think I'm right in saying thar John Kenny recommends PurePlay to users of his modified HiFace - if not, feel free to correct me - I tried it and wasn't very happy with SQ or UI but that was some time ago, maybe it's improved since than. foobar is my player of choice ATM

It does sound quite a bit better than Foobar IMHO Dave but you use Foobar/WASPI (I cannot as I am on XP) so it's any ones guess.

Hi Jerry I didn't for one minute think that but I prefer to read about a thing before trying it and going straight to a download does not allow that.
