Just a quick question; I was wondering how feasible it would be to have foobar2000 installed on a flash drive (along with a quick mix of mp3s) so I could take it to school and run it off of a lab computer. I know you can install stuff to a flash drive, but that there are some problems with registry keys or values. Should this be a problem with foobar2000? Thanks in advance!

It will work perfect. But don't use profiles and don't enable any shell extensions. Other than that it should be good to go.

Just a note, you may need to reselect the output if you run it on a different computer.

Good luck.

In addition to what andreasvb said, bear in mind that certain components require stuff like Visual C++ redistributables or Dot net installed. So, the program will definitely run but you will have to do without those components.

The Visual C++ redistributables can be copied to the components folder, so that you can use those components which are dependent of them also portable. With components using .Net you have unfortunately no chance to make them portable.

Can you explain how?

Open Explorer > browse to the file you want > press Ctrl+C > go to your foobar2000 folder > press Ctrl+V.

He explained how. By copy the req files.

Which components require the C++ redistributables? If you are referring to any kinds of plugins or anything, I plan on just using foobar completely stock; no add ons of any kind.

Acropolis's plugins require Visual C++ redistributable. If you're just using the stock version, you don't need to worry about anything.

When you launch foobar in a computer without Visual C++ redistributable/.Net/... , foobar will warn you that a dll couldn't be loaded but everything else will work A-OK. Conclusion: don't worry.

Not a problem at all.
