Have your say & ask the experts

I'm going to use this thread as a place to hold the links to my useful threads. This gets over the limitation of the signature. Hopefully, it will be of use to someone.

I'll try and keep it up to date.

Foobar2000

HOW TO...Setup Foobar2000 to use WASAPI. Vista users only. Probably worth taking a look at the "How To...Optimise Windows Audio Playback" before reading this thread.

Other Stuff

Format Posting Primer. There was a time when it was difficult to do anything in the forum unless you knew a bit of HTML. I still use the techniques described in this primer. This was my first useful thread. It used to be a sticky.

Lossless streaming to PS3 - Lessons Learnt. This was written before the UPnP media server offered by foobar2000. It focuses on TVersity, which was a bit of a pig to get working. Some useful stuff on EAC too. Perhaps I should dig the EAC bits out and stick them in a separate thread?

Audio File Hierarchies, Naming Conventions and Management Strategies. Mainly to wind up JoelSim as much as anything....but still provides useful recommendations on the organisation of your music library.

How To...Optimise Windows Audio Playback. Want a bit of background on KMixers, ASIO, Kernal Streaming and WASAPI? Then look no further.
