Ok here's a real pickle of a question :)

I often listen to the digitally imported chillout shoutcast, often for hours at a time when working on projects or uni assignments. And I'm curious to see how much traffic I download though, because I have download limits.

These streams are at 96kbps or 12kbytes/sc, so is there a way to show the kbits downloaded in the status bar?

I'm sure it's possible, can foobar's scripts do calculations? I've seen % meters in some screenshots before.

Somehow, if the artists is equal to a specific string, then it also shows "(12*seconds) kB" in the status bar?

Any help appreciated :)

I'm not sure if I completely understand, but at any rate, without any 3rd party plugins or some kind of customization beyond formatting strings, foobar cannot store global variables to be passed on to the rendering of the next song. It could be that Columns UI allows this, but I dunno. What you could do, I guess, is show the traffic used for the current song... something like

$mul(%_time_elapsed_seconds%,12) KB

I didn't get the artist specific thing you were talking about... what exactly do you mean?

$mul(%_time_elapsed_seconds%,12) KB

That code works great :)

I'm not worried about it losing the setting each time anyway.

The reason I wanted the artist, is because I dont want the kB counter for my normal mp3's.

So $mul(%_time_elapsed_seconds%,12) KB only shows if %artist% is equal to 'digitally imported'

Is there any documentation on how foobar strings work? Would love to have a play around myself.

Ok here's my dodgy solution to only showing kb counter for shoutcasts.

$if( $strcmp(%_length%,'?') , $mul(%_time_elapsed_seconds%,%radiokb%)kb,' ' )

I added a 'radiokb' fieldname to each stream in my playlist for it's bitrate in kilobytes/sec

This player just keeps getting better :)

Here it is the long awaited Azrael (Rexy mod)

Rexy has tested it since I removed a lot of code from it and says Seems to be working well!

It does not have all the features of Azrael but only the ones Rexy wanted in!

Enjoy!

hey! just installed your mod rexy and neksus, fantastic! however i get these pink dots and i would like to get rid of them, any help?

They are ReplayGain dots!

Either use ReplayGain or turn off the RG Column in Column_ui preferences!

Is there anway to get the screen to look more like the WinAmp media library. That is the big thing that is keeping me on WinAmp. The whole split up wit hthe 3 subwindows is the perfect mix that I need to search through my mp3s...

Someone tell me how to do that on Foobar, and I will switch.

I have to agree, that is the main thing that keeps me from swapping over (though I have just now deleted winamp to give foobar a decent go, although none of those configs want to work, they just spit out errors).

That, and you're also not using Lucida Grande Bold. So first, you're getting dots instead of squares, and second, it doesn't look as good as with Lucida Grande Bold ;) . Here, I attached it:

Lucida_Grande_Bold.ttf

Also another quick q. A lot and I mean ALOT of my mp3s dont have correct ID3 tags, and because of that, I cant get foobar configured how I want. Is there a way to mass tag the files but have it do it via directory structure (so it tags the first file found in \RX Bandits\Progress\ with a 1 as the track number and so on)?

    • Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected by Taras Buria It is Monday, June 8, 2026, which means today is the day Apple kicks off its annual Worldwide Developer Conference, WWDC 2026. As usual, today's keynote will be full of consumer and developer-focused announcements, including new versions of Apple's operating systems, developer tools, and more. Apple streams its developer conferences, allowing everyone to tune in and watch the announcements live. Today is no exception, so here is how you can watch it. Apple WWDC 2026 will be available to watch on Apple's official website here. Also, you can stream it on YouTube and the Apple TV app on your Apple device. The stream kicks off at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT / 6 PM GMT+1. Apple's annual developer conference usually focuses on new software experiences, so do not expect major hardware announcements. What is expected is the "27" series of Apple's operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and macOS. Apple is unlikely to introduce major UI changes, but you can expect subtle tweaks to the Liquid Glass design language, particularly on Mac. One of the biggest changes Apple plans to announce today is a reworked, AI-powered Siri. The assistant will be available as a standalone app with a chatbot-like experience and Google's AI models under the hood. If you want to learn more about what is expected today at WWDC 2026, check out our dedicated article here. However, if you prefer a spoiler-free stream, tune in at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT on Apple's official website, its YouTube channel, or the Apple TV app.
    • For we consumer readers, it would be helpful if you clearly stated in the headline if the article is about consumer or enterprise. Then readers will know if the article applies to them or not. 2 cents.
    • At the moment I have my main PC and a test PC on my work desk. The test PC is also not inverted so I am not looking at the glass panel side, which is irritating.
    • I'm glad you posted this clarification of the cause of so-called Windows 11 update problems that too often appear in the article headlines.. In the future, it would be better to readers if you took your time, did the analysis before posting an article about Windows problems, which end up being a waste of time. Just saying.
    • Nah. They'll milk the current generation in terms of design - controllers, consoles, but no meaningful hardware improvements. This is one reason why people aren't buying Xbox hardware - it's stagnant.
