HI James, I found that you can use the search box in foobar to queue tracks by finding your tracks via your search term, highlighting the track or tracks you want to queue and then copying the tracks to the clipboard. Then you close search box and going to the track you want to put the songs after then paste the tracks from the clipboard. It isn't as quite as automatic as winamp but it can be done. I'm sure there must be a plugin or component to do this.

The ability to tell the player to stop playing at the end of the current track or a selected track further along in the playlist. 4. The ability to play the last ten seconds or so of a track without needing to specify the time. (plug-in needed - http://skipyrich.com/wiki/Foobar2000:Preview) 5. The ability to jump to a specified time in a track. (plug-in needed - http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_seek_box) 6. The ability to move forward and back by 5 second increments in a track by the use of arrow keys or similar. 7. The ability to read the sample rate, bit rate and number of tracks of a file. 8. The ability to modify ID3 tags. 9. The ability to cross fade tracks (I know this can be done with Foobar). 10. The ability to equalise the output volume of files. Now, for the ones which I'm not too sure about: 1. The ability to search for a file in a playlist and move it to immediately after the currently playing track. (there is a playlist search function that works well, however I'm not sure how easy it is to queue search results after the currently playing track) 2. The ability to locate a file with Windows Explorer and insert it into the playlist immediately after the currently playing track. This can be done with Winamp although how to do it is not immediately obvious. (queuing songs from Windows Explorer is definitely possible, however once again I'm not sure about having songs queued in a certain order. Perhaps you could try the same method you use with Winamp with Foobar if it is a universal Windows Explorer trick?)
