It seems it works out well with foobar and only the foo_gep and foo_input_usf plugins...

I re-installed foobar and realized I had been clever enough to not tick the option to read zipped files.. duh...

Again, thanks a lot!!

Just to clarify, foo_input_usf is for N64 USF files, foo_gep covers pretty much everything else you'll ever need. RSNs are just renamed RAR files containing lots of SPCs, which are the SPC700 sound format (SNES music).

I was looking for a 'how'.

How's it for system resource usage? How does it manage gigantic playlists (25k+)? I've tried several other players touted as 'better', and they all failed to do those two things better than winamp. That is, winamp with all the bells and whistles disabled (and a 2.0 skin just because).

I got foobar2k managing a touhou music collection that is about 500GB+ of music alone; not counting album cover art ect. That's PLUS as it's still growing as well. Trust me when I say it's pretty much the only player worth a damn in regards to huge play lists and music management.

Fair enough. I gave it an install and will try it out once it finishes queuing up my playlist.

I should be able to use it come August.

Alternatively, if you've got a device running Android, you can play most chiptune and module formats using DroidSound (http://swimmer.se/droidsound/), which is a nice (albeit basic) implementation of GME, TinySid and libmodplug in Java.

Hope that helps

Thanks a lot, man! You helped in fact!!!
