i think he means broadcast it, but i'm sure there's a way to do it from the superior foobar2000.
iTunes all the way. Ive tried them all...absolutely nothing is better for organizing your music than itunes, and the little mini player in the taskbar rocks.
Nothing can search for a song as fast as itunes, and if youre tags are all in order, you can easily listen to just a single genre, a single band, a single album etc. Not even MP10 can do it as well as itunes.
I'm no apple fan, but theyve got everyone beat. I'm not in the least concerned with system resources...I'm running a 3200+ with 1gb of ram...lets put it to some use.

My MP3 collection is and always has been organized. Artist name - Track name.mp3. Full albums into their own directories. All ID3 tags are correct. I don't want some big dumb player like Foobar or even worse, WMP. I like Winamp into shade mode so I can stick it somewhere on the corner of my screen.
It took me a while to like Foobar. Initially I thought it was ugly, and compared to winamp it is, but after only using it for a month and trying to go back to winamp, I found myself uninstalling Winamp.
Foobars EQ is really what I like, it allows MUCH more in depth settings. Its easier to hear differences in audio quality with Foobar as I can usually tell if its my setup (Klipsh or Grado SR225s) or the actual media (horribly ripped or just low quality files).
Cliffs : Winamp is audio for dummies.

short answer? No. long answer......I don't have time, too many weemon, you want me to give you thee sun and thee moon....
Foobar, as with SO much alternative software (ESPECIALLY opensource software) is a GREAT concept with TOTALLY CRAPPY implementation.
There is no difference between Foobar in Kernel Streaming mode playing a FLAC and Winamp in Directsound mode playing a FLAC. Reference setup is an M-Audio Delta-series to two powered Advents. If I had a computer with optical-in, I'd do a more scientific test (capture the two streams and CRC check them). There is, however, a significant difference with MP3's. This is nullified when the MAD input plugin is used with Winamp (the nullsoft MPEG decoder is utter junk)

Winamp.
I've tried Foobar a few times, never saw anything that would make me use it over Winamp.
I love how some people keep saying it sounds better when even the Foobar FAQ dispells this myth.
For me, Foobar does nothing that Winamp doesn't do, and Winamp does it better IMO.
