foobar2000 controller PRO

★★★★★ This app does EXACTLY what I wanted it to do and more. I have a long range Bluetooth Transmitter (the SZMDLX). In combination with a TOS 1to2 doubler (allowing 2 optical outputs, from one source), I can play music through my Sonar Essence STX Audiophile Sound card on my PC and into an amp powering two vintage Celestion Greenback cabs, but ALSO take an output to the Bluetooth transmitter, to transmit simultaneously to two Bluetooth speakers that I've built out of old vintage radios. The problem I had was that although I could route the sound through to the Bluetooth speakers (even two at once in perfect sync!), I could not control the song/playlist selections and MORE IMPORTANTLY the volume. This meant trips to and from the bathroom/garden to set the volume. NOW I can use my phone to control music playing on my Server through the Wi-Fi network using my phone. This app is a life-changer and well worth the 99p I paid for it.

★★★★★ Still works! It requires additional setup on the server side now that foobar has gone 64 bit. You'll need to install the latest version of http_control (0_97_28) and manually add the templates included in the setup file.

★★★★★ Excellent program. I built a UPNP wireless audio network using Foobar and a UPNP plugin. This program brings it all together by letting me hop between stereo, laptop, and headphones almost seamlessly. It's not perfect, and it has its limitations; however, it gets 5 stars from me. It has an incredibly low price and its clearly from a small developer. I rate apps on what they are, and that's why this one gets 5 stars. Thanks for putting the cherry on top of my home music network.

★★☆☆☆ Perhaps the only thing reliable about this app is that it fails, constantly. I've tried making the IP address static, restarting both the phone and the computer it's communicating with. One minute it'll work, the next it will not. Fighting with this for close to a year - extremely frustrating.

★★☆☆☆ Doesn't work... But previous one worked before. Cannot connect from Android. It says, It cannot connect to this IP. On PC, I see its control on browser but cannot connect to it from same network (5GWiFi) Android.

★★☆☆☆ P.O.S. If you like getting pissed off at an app. Waiting hours and still can't get the f**king to work. Then this is the app for you.
