Your question had me interested, so I looked around a bit and found this forum post from "Peter" [0]: >"foobar2000" is indeed a piece of random gibberish I had to type into "project name" box when creating a new project in MSVC, on the day all this started. IIRC I spent about 5 minutes on thinking about it - I wanted to get things working ASAP rather than worry about the name. That forum profile has a link to Peter Pawlowski's website [1] and has been active since 2001, so I'd like to believe it's really him.
