So, if I understand everyone correctly, I can run Foobar and iTunes on the same PC without creating a problem - right? Is there any downside to doing this? Because if there is, I've been thinking about maybe simplifying things by buying a used Mac and having a separate "apple" system (w/Foobar) downstairs for streaming my music to my audio system and leaving the old PC-based system (w/iTunes) upstairs for my wife. That way I can avoid any possibility of messing up PC. Really basic question - since we have a router upstairs on the PC so my wife can access the internet from her laptop, will I need to buy a second router for the downstairs Mac?
Basic Foobar Question
My cd collection is saved in lossless format on my PC's HD in iTunes. It's sent wirelessly downstairs to a Zardoz (modded Airport Express) that's wired to my pre. Based on the positive comments regarding Foobar, I now want to make the move to using Foobar in lieu of iTunes. Is it just a simple matter of moving my music files from iTunes to Foobar? Will I lose the current tags? And if I add a cd in the future, does Foobar pull in the tag info like iTunes, or will I have to type in the all the info? Is it possible to retain iTunes thereby having 2 music libraries -one to play my music via Foobar on my high end system and a second library in iTunes that will retain my wife's music that she likes to have on her iPod?
