Question: Which media player is the best; Foobar2000 or Winamp?

    Best is subjective -- I prefer Winamp (though I rarely use any media player anymore, REAPER ends up getting used the most for me).

    Hmm I think having the option for portability is good, but installation also has its benefits.

Question: How do you plan and prioritize Reaper features? Is there a lengthy roadmap or do you implement new ideas as you think of them/as the need arises? Do you use any external tools to track and organize the things you're working on (trello, todo lists, text files of random notes, etc)?

Question: Do you know what part of a computer can make a slight high pitch noise from inside the computer when an audio interface is in use. Sounds kind of like morse code. Note: This isn't a reaper question so hope it's allowed.

    I just looked at the ballpark estimates and it looks surprisingly (reassuringly) (edit) high! Of course who knows how many cracked versions are in use, or how lazy people are about updating (probably the latter is a bigger factor).
