This sounds interesting. How? And do I need any specific hardware?

It says for headphones but I have it working with my 5 speaker setup (too poor for a subwoofer) sent to an external receiver over optical

http://www.head-fi.org/t/447089/5-1-headphone-experience-foobar-configuration-for-all-stereo-music-files

As an example, it seems to mix vocals towards the front and other frequencies get sort of filtered and pushed to the back.

Like I played a song with vocals and a different range of bass and higher I guess guitar work and most of that was supplemented in the rear speaker and I heard no or almost no vocals out of it, but vocals predominately came out of the front/center

Kind of hard to explain but it works great with my hand me down system and does exactly what I wanted it to do. Before I was getting mostly audio from the center only and the side speakers/rear were too quiet.

Add the whole cd to "Various Artists" or some poo poo and it'll group it that way.

Like to the Album Artist tag.

What's the best way to save Album art to files? Can I do it through foobar? That's the only thing I'm missing I think...

cover.png or folder.png doesn't seem to work

Save from tag to file? Right-click, Tagging->Edit Attached Pictures, choose the cover and then click "Export"

Ah that did it, I wanted to do the inverse of this though.

If I've got some songs that show up as 0:00 in foobar and don't play and show up as 0:00 in MPC but it plays it anyways, what can I do to fix the files?

in foobar right-click on track -->Utilities-->Fix VBR MP3 header or Rebuild MP3 stream.

That worked! Thanks!

It can sound better than winamp if you're going asio or whatever
