So as promised let's compare VLC Media player playlist contents with that of foobar2000:
VLC Media Player playlist contents look like:
?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?
playlist xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/" xmlns:vlc="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/playlist/ns/0/" version="1"

173 lines !!! for only 11 music files.
With lot's of hard to understand/modified mark up language crap... like html/xml
Really ****ing annoying.
Let's examine foobar2000 playlist:
WELL THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE....
It's binary... that's ****ed up... I was hoping it was textual... oh well.
For now I'll accept it..
Let's compare file sizes then:
VCL MEDIA PLAYER PLAYLIST SIZE: 7 KB
FOOBAR2000 PLAYLIST SIZE: 5 KB
Again foobar2000 is slightly more efficient than VLC media player.
Though VLC media player does allow modification of playlist via text editors... to correct VLC media player ordering errors funny enough.
Hopefully foobar2000 doesn't need that.
I just tried it... it's possibly to drag and drop files up/down...
However I accidently triggered an unwanted play... this is kinda annoying cause this stopped the playing of the other playlist I was playing.
Let's see if I can back to it and resume.
THIS IS THE ONE THING I HATE ABOUT FOOBAR2000 player... it doesn't remember where it was while playing.
IT'S SO FOKKING ANNOYING AND STUPID... I CAN'T BELIEVE that this foobar2000 player that has multiple playlist support CANT ****ING REMEMBER W?HERE T?HE **** IT WAS LOL.... HOW ANNALY IDIOTIC STUPID.
While sometimes geniuses can be stupid.
I am sure this is gonna **** me off quick.
So I'll register at it's forum and complain the **** about this.
Hopefully it will get fixed in the future... cause god ****ing almighty is this braindead stupid of foobar2000 =D
It would even be cool if it could store it digital inside the playlist file itself, so I could continue playing whenever the **** I want in whatever ****ing playlist order I want...
I does have some rememberance when the tool restarts... but only for last played file... not for entire playlists.
This needs fixing fast... cause this is a dirty mistake in this program... otherwise it's golden.
Bye for now,
Skybuck.
