• Somewhat unsettling foobar problem.

Can't find any info on this whatsoever, but my music randomly starts and stops for little apparent reason. I tried to list to David Bowie's "Cat People" earlier, but halfway through Stevie Ray Vaughan's first guitar solo foobar just stops the song with no action on my part. I try replaying it and it does the same thing. I try it once more without minimizing the window or pressing anything aside from "Play" and it switches to "Rumble" by Link Wray about 30 seconds in. Had that not been crippling enough... I was playing Fallout 3 and after many hours of repetitive tasks and ambient fear I finally reached a break in the action where the dialogue really felt emotionally sensitive and examining of human nature. I was gripped by the beautifully articulate way this girl described her tragic life. All of a sudden, out of seemingly nowhere, Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" Ballet Suite begins to boom through my speakers (Which I had turned up in order to hear the game.) effectively scaring everybody in my home and possibly doing legitimate damage to my equipment. Does anybody know of this problem? Or a way to fix it? It feels like foobar is terrorizing me. It's as if it has become sentient and has fully realized the true power it holds over my life. I tried reinstalling it twice, but to no avail.
try reinstalling the program
Whoa. I was wondering if it was a bug in some setting that I could reproduce, so I opened up Foobar, added a bunch of classical music to the playlist, chose random playback... and it started playing Swan Lake :ohdear:
I don't know about your Swan Lake problem, but the first problem could be because the file is corrupt. Or it could be that you have global hotkeys set that you don't know about.
