For those who dont know, foobar is an audio player made for best performance using less resources as possible, not too long ago 1 month aprox i switched to it and its really amazing, tho it leaks of customization, you can skin it with some plug ins but loses the performace, now i made this topic so we all can share our foobar2k styles or playlist customizations here is mine

Here's the playlist code for anyone who wants it.

$num(%_playlist_number%,$len(%_playlist_total%)).

$if2(%artist%,unknown artist)

$tab(3)

$if(%album%,%album%[ #[%disc%/]$num(%tracknumber%,2)],'n/a')

$tab(3)

$if2(%title%,%_filename_ext%)

$tab(4)

$if(%_isplaying%,'|> ')

[['['$if2(%__codec%,$upper($ext(%_path%)))']' ]$pad_right(%_length%,5,0)]

Download Column UI, extract the contents of the zip file into your foobar/components directory.

Download Azrael config from this page. Extract the file into your folder of choice, preferably the foobar folder. For more Azrael color config go to Azrael documentation page.

Run foobar, go to its preferences, and select ColumnsUI as the "User Interface Module" under the "Display" section in the options window. Restart foobar.

Go to preferences > Display > ColumnsUI" subsection, select "import" from that screen and import Azrael.

Once that is imported change the playlist and statusbar fonts found on the same screen (Display -> ColumnsUI). Set them to Lucida Grande Unicode.

For custom button, get it from here. Change it in Display -> ColumnsUI > select "Use custom buttons".

Is there a way to make it so that when it's going to the next song it fades in and out instead of stopping nd starting?

Sure, I believe the crossfading plugin comes with the special edition of Foobar.

Hi guys,

First of all go download ColumnsUI.

Once you do that extract the contents of the zip file into your foobar/components directory.

Next get the Eriks.fcs config file for ColumnsUI (in file attached to this post).

Extract the file into your folder of choice, preferably the foobar folder.

Now you can run foobar, go to its preferences, and select ColumnsUI as the "User Interface Module" under the "Display" section in the options window.

Restart foobar; now the ColumnsUI should be active. Go to preferences again, from the "Display" section go to the "ColumnsUI" subsection, and select "import" from that screen. Here you will find the Eriks.fcs file you downloaded earlier. Once that is imported change the playlist and statusbar fonts found on the same screen (Display -> ColumnsUI that is).

The buttons are those allready mentioned (you can get it here).

But I've changed them a bit to match better my WB skin (if you wish I can send them to you by mail).

The frame around is from my WB own theme (that is a compilation of different schemes, just used for my own purposes, as I can not publish it, cause it is others job and credits).

For other details - visit these threads: "First one", "Second one" and the others having foobar ColumnsUI in subject.

In case of problems - just PM me.

to jack_canadian:

you lazy guy :) , just becouse you have similiar name ;) - check your e-mail for my foobar folder contents..

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility

      By matthiew · Posted

      When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By matthiew · Posted

      I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      By qbrick · Posted

      Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
