MilkDrop is a music visualizer – a “plug-in” or extension to Winamp or Foobar2000 music players. As you listen your music in Winamp, MilkDrop takes you flying through the actual sound waves you’re hearing, and uses beat detection to trigger myriad psychedelic effects, creating a rich visual journey through sound. MilkDrop can also be driven by a live audio feed (microphone or line-in).

foo_input_usf is an input plugin for Foobar2000.
USF is a format which allows emulation of the sound of an Nintendo 64, which would allow (almost) perfect replication of the music in games. USFs are then played through a player, with a suitable plugin, which allows it to be played.

One of the first Foobar components to consider installing is foo_jesus. This component automatically saves your current configuration and creates backup copies on a regular basis. If you have a problem, or a regret, you can easily restore Foobar to an earlier state.

Next: Adding Panels To The Default User Interface
An advanced and evolved freeware audio player for Android, Mac, Windows and Wine. Foobar2000 can be extensively extended, modified and themed.
This is the basic Default User Interface or DUI. You will need to configure and extend the DUI Foobar2000 interface according to your preferences and requirements.
foobar2000 is not limited to the Default User Interface (DUI). Over its history, foobar2000 has had several complete user-interface modules, as well as newer technologies that extend the modern interfaces with highly customizable panels.
foobar2000 also supports web-based interface components. These should not be confused with complete UI modules: they operate as panels or UI Elements within the DUI or CUI.
WebView and WebView2 represent a web-based UI technology rather than separate core foobar2000 interfaces. A WebView/WebView2-based design is still a DUI or CUI layout with a web-based component incorporated into it. The official component repository explicitly identifies WebView2 as a Columns UI panel / Default UI element, rather than as a user-interface module.
In practical terms, foobar2000’s interface history can be divided into:
Complete user-interface modules
UI extension and panel technologies
This distinction is important when describing foobar2000 themes. A theme designed for CUI is a theme for a different complete UI module than a DUI theme. A theme that incorporates WebView2, however, is still a DUI or CUI theme that uses WebView2 as one of its UI components.
For this reason, foobar2000 themes and interface collections identify the Intended User Interface separately from individual panel technologies and components.
