I was just thinking about if it is possible to put my foobar on an usb-stick, cuz a friend of mine asked me to bring foobar with me and when I spend some days visiting my parents I could take my music on a portable harddisk with me (it would not be necessary to install foobar on any computer I use...). As I've never seen a special foobar version, I just thought I could ask this question.

thx

Basic answer: Yes. Install and uncheck "per user", and be warned about the media library (circumstances may have changed).

...and how to shrink it ?

The new version (0.9.4) folder is ~5,5 Mb sized; what we can remove ?

(Icons, i think...)

The plugins you do not need. E.g., if you use columns ui you will not need the standard ui component.

Minimal functional foobar2000 is 1.13 MB.

CODE
C:.
│   foobar2000.cfg
│   foobar2000.exe
│   shared.dll

└───components
        foo_input_std.dll
        foo_ui_std.dll


All executables UPX compressed. You can remove stuff like the uninstaller and the title formatting help and so on.

I use something like that for my USB key, so I can listen to DI.fm streams at school

using UPX is sometimes a bad idea though. while the compression is nice, it can cause some problems with some programs(not necessarily foobar2000).
