The foobar mobile fundraiser has a sponsor, for every $ / £ / Euro raised Illustrate (dBpoweramp) will match the value raised and contribute to the development.


Just donated, thank you for matching!

Just because Android runs on a Linux kernel


Android runs on a Linux


Soblem prolved. This is precisely what I meant. I was being obsequiously facetious.

All this ignores that I have and continue to run a full Debian stack on my Android phones: X11, web servers, they all work fine. Using scp to get/put files to my phone works faster than MTP/USB. Hell, I'll be performing a DJ set on it in a week. (Yes, I am using my cell phone as my primary audio output. Whatever.)

So, you're going to pay yourself? How does that work? It became apparent soon after this supposed crowd funding campaign began that something was going to be developed by someone. There were never any real monetary requirements. Take what you can get.


No, any work I do on this project is without renumeration....

Any funds raised, go directly to the other developers to pay a living wage.

If it was a case of "Take what you can get", I would not sponsor from Illustrate (this gives me personally a negative balance sheet in relation to this project), however I believe in this project, I want to see it happen so the shortfall had to be made from somewhere.

Well, in that case let me be the first to say THANK YOU.

(I'm sure I'm not the first, but it feels nice to put it that way )

I've just become the 6th Prime Mover. Wish I could have gone higher; I'm still coping with the aftermath of our house fire this February.

If you've ever wanted the chance to really appreciate Peter for what he's done with foobar2000, let me encourage you to contribute. Over the course of this project, I've seen PayPal shut down donations, Flattr fall flat on its face, and the rise and fall of Google advertisements. There's no really good way to monetize something like this.

Now is the time. Now is your best chance to make a difference, or at bare minimum the best chance I've seen personally. You've got spoon matching your cash, you can get early alpha version swag, great headphones for cheap, immortalization in the list of credits, and more!

DO IT

Some good news, firstly the funding is within ~ 5% of the goal now, the project (player) can go ahead as we first envisaged.

2nd - full time development work has started, there are 3 people working on this.

3rd - we have the first 'Phone Design Functionality Proposal 1' on the mobile foobar forum for discussion.

Really great news. Good to see this campaign succeed.

I have a doubt here. How will the alpha or beta versions be provided to the users?
We, Windows phone users can't install anything that's not in the store.
Side-loading apps on the Windows phone requires developer account and tools that most won't have.

Won't there be any more updates on this thread?

It is possible to upload apps to the Windows Phone store that are viewable/installable only by designated users (based on their email address/login).
So based on that it should be possible to give specific users (donors) access to early versions of the app.

But as I see in the mobile foobar page, it states that the iOS, Android and Windows funding goal are not reached.

Oh, those are IMAGEs and they need to be updated.
By the way waiting for the Windows Phone version.

It is difficult to say at this point, when a final release would be.

Indeed.
Seems like without dBpoweramp's "doubling" this project would have very slim chances to reach needed sum.
