Hey all. I was just wondering if this is possible:

when I double click an album in the grid view it starts playing (and loads up the tracks) but can I get foobar to send the current tracks enqued to play to the left pane (where 'Default' is located)?

It would be a lot easier to flick through tracks this way. I'd appreciate it :)

Switched over from my simple columns ui setup to a simple default UI setup.

Using foo_facets component for the columns/search on the left, foo_simplaylist, and foo_quicksearch set to inline search of active playlist, working wonderfully :)

That looks great. I personally can't seem to get things like that done with FB2k. Hell, I can't even get Album art working.

The above took me just a few minutes :). The album art/playlist layout is just the default look of simplaylist: http://www.hydrogena...showtopic=88411

To make the layout I just used the default ui's live editing mode. added a few splitters and elements, tweaked it a bit and bam :)

I exported that layout if you want to try it, just make sure you have the following components installed and then go into the settings and import the .fth file:

simplaylist and simplaylist manager:

http://www.foobar200...foo_simplaylist

http://www.foobar200...laylist_manager

Facets: http://www.foobar200...view/foo_facets

quicksearch: http://www.foobar200...foo_quicksearch

Here's a screen and no album art:

Edit:

Got it. I had to tell Fb2k where the cover was even though it's in the same folder. Go figure.

Is all of your album art named consistently? All I do is put the album art as "folder.jpg" in the album folder and foobar automatically picks it up (this works with most other media players too). by default in foobar it will automatically pick up:

front.jpg

cover.jpg

%filename%.jpg

%album%.jpg

folder.jpg

You can add more search patterns in preferences > display > album art

Yes. They are all named cover.jpg. All the albums are in their own folder so it shouldn't have been an issue. What version of Fb2k are you running? I'm on 1.1.13.

1.1.14, but this has always worked for me with foobar, some of my album art is named cover.jpg too and they also work fine. My music is organized the same way yours is. Mine actually seems to be picking up any .jpg files in the album folder actually, I ran a search and I found a few cover images that weren't named cover, folder, or front and they still display fine.

What search patterns are listed on your foobar install under preferences > display > album art > front cover?

A little help with album art needed I've tried everything i could think of but is there any script i could add here to point the viewer to any file name with "front" in it?

am using columns ui.

Note the setting, "Built-in foobar2000 artwork reader mode". By default, Columns UI uses the built-in artwork reader, so there should be no need to configure this. Just try using a wildcard, e.g. "path\front*".

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing.

Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
