xandaman, we answered this really a *lot* of times, try at least to look the 2 or 3 last pages before posting something that would make someone repeat the same thing over and over ...

I have read this topic before. I dont rmemeber seeing it. And I dont relish reading all the pages. Maybe if someone updated the 1st post with useful links it might help.

And I still can't find howto show the album list panel, now I have the plugin.

^^^ Nice, could you post the info for that?

I have had a quick read through all 17 pages from this thread but I couldn't see the answer to this question....

how would I go about getting foobar to sort my albums out in this order...

  • 1st Artist
  • 2nd Album Year
  • 3rd Track number

One more thing is there any sites which give tips for using foobar or one which would explain the basics of making your own playlist configs up?

It's a hack job of Azrael. Why do these configs have to have so much code? There's always one thing I want to alter, but because there's thousands of lines of code I just end up rewriting them to look the same, but with what I wanted fixed to start off with.

Anyway, to do that go to: Playlist > Sort > Sort by... and type in %artist%%date%%album%$tracknumber(). And then uh, press Enter.

I usually just hack up other people's configs and learn that way. Foobar also comes with a HTML file (titleformat_help.htm) containing all the TAGZ options and such.

This is my foobar style.

I made the string for the playlist from scratch, the status is modified from a string I found over the net.

No columns_ui involved here...

The first album is the sample for multi-artist albums.

The second is a regular album

The last two tracks are singles.

I never mix full albums and singles in the same playlist.

Cheers.

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri by David Uzondu Image via Apple Today, at the opening keynote of Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC), the company announced Siri AI, a "reimagined version" of its voice assistant that runs on Apple Intelligence. Siri AI helps you do things like draft messages, edit photos, and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations. You can access Siri AI through several methods, depending on the device. While "Hey Siri" remains active, iPhone users can also press the side button, swipe down from the Dynamic Island, or use a system-wide context menu on Mac to analyze on-screen text. Image via Apple If you ever need to go back and check previous interactions, you can open the dedicated Siri app to view your entire conversation history. This application privately syncs your data using iCloud, leveraging local Foundational Models alongside Apple's secure Private Cloud Compute servers to keep user data inaccessible to outsiders. On the iPhone, Apple built the assistant into the Camera app, bringing Visual Intelligence to help you split bills or count calories. This feature also expands to the iPad and Mac, letting users use screenshots or shortcuts to analyze images, while Apple Vision Pro users can ask questions about objects in their physical room. Other things to know about Siri AI include systemwide dictation that automatically handles punctuation and formatting, customizable voice speeds, and a spatial 3D interface built for Apple Vision Pro. Apple also added Smart Stack suggestions on the Apple Watch to help you continue recent conversations directly from your wrist. The road to Siri AI was quite bumpy for Apple, which initially promised these capabilities at WWDC 2024 when the Cupertino tech giant debuted Apple Intelligence. Apple later turned to Google, signing a $1 billion annual deal to use Gemini models instead of relying solely on its own in-house systems. However, this deal came only after consumers sued Apple because features Apple promised "did not exist at the time, do not exist now, and will not exist for two or more years." Siri AI is available for developer testing on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and visionOS 27.

      Real shame the 16 GB versions are crazy more expensive than this.

      Making me care less about LibreOffice with every tantrum they throw.
    • iOS 27 & Apple Intelligence. Many iPhones become obsolete, right?

      By kiddingguy · Posted

      And within the EU all this Siri AI stuff will probably work around 2030 and the IPhone 25 🤣

      It's nuts looking back at older iOS compared to now, how much customisation and options there are now So much better than before - focussing on good default options is more worthwhile than just removing options altogether
