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!

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)?

    • When you're in enterprise IT environment, you're kinda forced into it...otherwise I'm not touching any mail client for personal use.  I can't stand New Outlook. It's complete trash - half the features I need in (Classic) Outlook are just missing in New Outlook. I haven't talked to a single person who actually likes the new client. 
    • I think it's cute that Apple is implementing their tools at precisely the same evolutionary level as other devices' tools. In other words, I see no innovation; it's "the same but different." "Hey Siri, help me write this document about shoes." Powered by Google. "Sure thing, while we're here, can I interest you on some Nike's? They're on sale at Target right now!"

    • But apple has ASSURED us that this is private. So, it's private. I expect the same "leeway" shown Microsoft to be reflected here.
    • ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE is currently $159.99 on Amazon, down from $219.99. That's 27% off and $60 saved on a keyboard that combines retro and modern design, while being one of the most responsive and adaptable 75% boards available right now (purchase link down below). The ROG Falchion Ace comes with the HFX V2X magnetic switches that allow you to set actuation anywhere between 0.1mm and 3.5mm with 0.01mm fine-tuning steps. It also comes with Rapid Trigger, a feature that resets the key the moment you release it rather than waiting for a fixed reset point, which makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. And finally, an 8,000Hz polling rate should make the response time feel instant. The build quality is decent, with dense plastic and powder-coated aluminum, which is expected from a keyboard at this price point. There’s also the onboard adjustment wheel, which lets you tweak actuation and Rapid Trigger sensitivity without opening any software. For competitive gaming, the ROG Falchion Ace is hard to beat at this price. And those who appreciate old-school hardware, especially those white keyboards we’ve all grown up with, will likely also appreciate the looks of this keyboard. A carry case is included.
