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)?

Yes there is!

foobar2000 has a builtin Masstager! That can guess values from directory and filenames!

With a syntax like this (customizable): %artist%\%year% - %album%\%tracknumber%. %title%

Also if you have full albums there is a FreeDB tager!

Yeah the only problem is theres no real "order" to any of the files, aside from the directory structure. I've tried the Mass Tagger, but it doesnt exactly do what I'm trying to do. I want it to loop thru the directory and change the track numbers incrementally. So in say \RX Bandits\Progress it will loop thru from 1-12, and then when it gets to teh next folder, it will automatically start @ 1 again.

Ok, well after about 3 hours of mp3 tagging i've managed to come up with this:

My only problem now is the Selected text color. It only seems to happen on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th lines of each album. The rest works fine. Here is the code I use (probably incorrect, but it seems to work for the most part)

// Color on 1st Track
// --------------------------------------
$if($strcmp($num(%tracknumber%,1),1),
$rgb(255,255,255)|$rgb(255,255,255)|$if($greater($mod(%_playlist_number%,2),0),$rgb(186,185,172),$rgb(186,185,172)))

// Color on 2nd/3rd Track
// --------------------------------------
$if($strcmp($num(%tracknumber%,1),2),
$rgb(0,0,0)|$rgb(255,255,255)|$if($greater($mod(%_playlist_number%,2),0),$rgb(246,245,241),$rgb(246,245,241)))
$if($strcmp($num(%tracknumber%,1),3),
$rgb(0,0,0)|$rgb(255,255,255)|$if($greater($mod(%_playlist_number%,2),0),$rgb(246,245,241),$rgb(246,245,241)))

// Color on 4th Track
// --------------------------------------
$if($strcmp($num(%tracknumber%,1),4),
$rgb(255,255,255)|$rgb(255,255,255)|$if($greater($mod(%_playlist_number%,2),0),$rgb(186,185,172),$rgb(186,185,172)))


// Default BG Color
$rgb(0,0,0)|$rgb(255,255,255)|$if($greater($mod(%_playlist_number%,2),0),$rgb(233,229,214),$rgb(233,229,214))

Any clues on what may be wrong?

Argh, any help would be welcomed! I've just switched over from Winamp, and installed that foo_remote thing. Yet I'm not sure what's supposed to happen now. I don't see any bar in my taskbar, or any other exe to click apart from the one to uninstall foo_remote. Please help.

right click taskbar > toolbars > Foobar2000 controls

I would love to know how you got that setup...

1) Install the foo_ui_columns plugin (attached to a post earlier in this thread)

2) My config file for foo_ui_colums is attached, the custom buttons I use are also in there.

You can import it under columns options. Place the buttons file in your foobar folder, if that doesnt work you can point foo_columns to the file in options.

3) Enjoy!

ONE GENERAL SUGGESTION FOR EVERY ONE

Reading the posts and the PM's that I have got it seems thet not everyone is using the same version of the ColumnsUI plug-in.

So, my advice is (especially for those who starts modding Foobar with this plugin):

MAKE SURE THAT YOU USE THE NEWEST VERSION OF THE PLUG-IN AND READ CAREFULLY THE HINTS IN THIS THREAD

Than everything else will be easy :) :) :) ;)

    • No updated SSD capacity, no updated specs (not surprised tbf), just nostalgia baiting! Bring back the boot sequence and the UI as an easter egg!
    • Why? It will just cost so much more and make you PC poor and they become PC rich off your calamities! “Just because you can” isn’t a flex either!.
    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon by Sayan Sen In the modern digital workspace meeting recordings and summaries are very commonplace, still finding the right recap later can be surprisingly difficult. To address that inconvenience Microsoft is working on a new dedicated meeting recap application designed to bring all meeting recaps into a single, centralized location. In a recent announcement on its Microsoft 365 roadmap website, the company has confirmed the new applet and has explained how the new experience will work and why it believes it can help users stay on top of discussions without having to search through multiple chats, calendars, or files. For those unfamiliar, meeting recaps provide a summary of key discussions, decisions, action items, and other relevant information generated after a meeting ends. They are intended to help participants revisit important points while also allowing those who missed the meeting to quickly catch up on what happened. Traditionally locating older recaps could require users to navigate through various conversations or meeting histories. The new meeting recap app aims to simplify that process by gathering all available recaps into one dedicated hub. According to Microsoft, this should make it easier to browse past meetings, review outcomes, and stay informed about ongoing projects and discussions. One notable feature of the applet is the addition of quick filters which are meant to allow users to instantly narrow down the list of available recaps and surface specific meetings without manually searching through extensive records. Audio recap is also there. If you're wondering how long these recaps will last before self-expiring, the app will provide access to meeting recaps from the past 30 days or approximately one month. You can view the feature entry here on the official Microsoft 365 (M365) website under roadmap ID 564614. Its rollout is set to begin this month (June 2026). Do keep in mind though that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
