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:

foobar.JPG

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 :) :) :) ;)

    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
    • "...will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update...". Three names that all refer to Windows Update. Does the author even understand what he is writing about?
    • and somehow windows is the only one with issue every patch tuesday is a mess, android macosx have all that and it never had issues locking people out of their own data.
    • It's the ol': I told my kids I was older than Google and they thought I was joking. For me I was born the same year as the internet
