Since i usually get a half-dozen PMs about this.... If anyone's actually interested in my configuration, i'll answer any specific questions you have, but i won't hand out the config, so don't bother asking for that. Sorry. :x

Yes, Foobar and Samurize are really nice for looking like another skin in Foobar!

I made some configs, integrated in my desk with Samurize too:

Foo-Frog.jpg

Foo-Iron.jpg

Foo-Metal.jpg

Here are also some other components integrated!

Anyway, i hope you can see the parts of Foobar, in that gif. ;)

Strictly those are amazing!!!!

I never had the patience to follow through with nay of my Sammy configs, so I just deleted it. How do you get the controls like that on the desktop? I thought there was only a control script for WinAMP....

I might have to try making myself a configuration again ;)

@Krpano

Thanks! ;)

@c4nad14n

strictly4me, could you share those samurize configs

edit: (the ones with gant buttons and the mac-looking one)

No problem, but all my screenshots above are just parts of my whole desks i made!

That means, you have to download the whole desk and after you must extract my playerconfig. Thats the only way, because you need all the PNG's-image for the player, too!

Here are all direct download-links to my desks:

1. Desk "G.A.N.T."

2. Riot's Desk "Electron Frog"

3. Desk "Iron"

4. Desk "Metal"

5. Desk "Plate"

All this desk you can reach about my signatur, to have a look on it.

I hope you are fit for work with Samurize!

I'm an Austrian-Guy (you can see on my sh*t english :x ) and so you have to care about all the pathes in my configs, because my Samurize is installed D:\Eigene Dateien\!!! Samurize !!!.

Anyway, good luck and enjoy! :yes:

For all german users here: Tutorials for all desks, can be found on http://www.samurize.org

@Cream

I thought there was only a control script for WinAMP....

No, with AMPI-Plugin you can't control only WinAmp!

Here a part of the Readme:

To use this plugin, you also need one of the following

Audio/Media Players installed:

- WinAmp 2, 3 or 5

- Quintessential Player (QCD) 4.11+

- FooBar2000 0.7, 0.8

- Windows Media Player 9

- iTunes 4

IMPORTANT!

Samurize need a new installation, after you are finished with install of your player!!!

I hope this info can help you.

Im having a problem with the playcount plugin, for some reason it's not updating the db for lots of my tracks.

The attached image is from an album I have played from start to finish yet only four of them show as played.

I tried downloading the plugin again, removing all the playcount information from the files, I even tried downloading the version which saves the playcount info in a separate db (couldn't get it to work)

Anyone have any ideas on how to get it to work correctly?

if you use the version which saves the playcount info in a separate db, put foo_playcount.dll in component folder and sqlite.dll in same folder as foobar2000.exe

then you have to edit the config.. use %__play_counter% instead of %play_counter%

I know that but when I open the preferences part of the playcount preferences are greyed out. Is it supposed to be?

I have the new playcount plugin in the components folder and have removed the old version and I have the sqlite.dll in the foobar directory. Is there anything else I should have?

Cool, thanks acedriver, it seems to be working now.

Just one more question do you know if it's possible to remove the playcount information from the database?

hi!

check if your mp3 files are not "read only". ;)

The problem was with the plugin, if it's set to 100% then sometimes it doesn't update but I changed it to 99% and played a few albums and it updates everytime now.

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance by David Uzondu Recently, the UK's Home Office announced a sweeping set of proposals to make Britain the "first country in the world" where children cannot share or view nude photos on their smart devices, an initiative that authorities claim will protect children from online predators and combat pornography. In response, Signal believes that while the government must keep children "safe" and "protected," it should do so through social services and education, not by "surveillance, funding cuts, and cover-ups." The company called the plan "dystopian" and warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy, arguing that scanning on the presumption of nudity will only strengthen the market dominance and data control of giant corporations like Apple and Google. The statement continues by accusing the government of hiding its true intentions under the guise of child safety. Signal argues that the Home Office is building an invisible surveillance infrastructure that remains ripe for exploitation by future administrations and authoritarian regimes. According to the company, this aggressive approach completely ignores the actual needs of young people, such as properly funded schools and mental health services. Tech companies like Apple and Google have a three-month window to implement these mandatory device-level filters across the United Kingdom. If these tech firms refuse to comply with the mandate, the government will pass emergency legislation to force them to comply, threatening massive fines and even going after the CEOs of these companies with criminal charges. The technology will work by blocking explicit images directly on the operating system of all smartphones and tablets by default. This system monitors the device camera and third-party apps to intercept nudity before anyone can upload or send the image. Adults can still view explicit content, but only after completing a strict age verification check to unlock their devices. Several bodies like the NSPCC and Barnardo's praised the Home Office's decision, arguing that device-level intervention stops the cycle of grooming before it starts. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) also supported the policy, claiming that tech companies can implement on-device checks "without threatening privacy or collecting any data."
    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
    • It pretty much has to be compatible with MS Office or it is going nowhere. The rest of the world runs office including Europe. If it is not compatible it will not survive.
    • Incredible deal gets you free NVMe 512GB SSD with AMD AM5 B850 motherboard for only $150 by Sayan Sen Earlier this week we covered the story of an interesting PC case wherein you can build two full-size computers inside it as in it can house and run an AMD and an Intel system simultaneously. Speaking of building PCs, these are hard times to make one for sure as prices are often very high except during flash sales or discounts. If you are in the market for a 1080p gaming PC then Nvidia's 8GB RTX 5060 Ti is currently on sale for just $330 and you get the latest James Bond game too, for free. Speaking of which, right now there is another incredible sale going on as we can get a free 512 GB NVMe SSD from TeamGroup in the form of the G50 alongside the purchase of an AMD B850 socket AM5 motherboard for only $150 (purchase link under the specs table down below). Getting an AM5 motherboard now in 2026 will be a wise investment for sure, especially since AMD confirmed its commitment to support the socket till at least 2029. The MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI is a micro-ATX motherboard that is compatible with AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors. Since it is AM5, the motherboard works with DDR5 memory and includes MSI’s Memory Boost technology, along with EXPO and XMP support. Connectivity features include built-in Wi-Fi 7 paired with a 5G LAN solution. The board offers a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot with MSI’s EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II thermal solution, that is said to help maintain SSD performance by providing ample cooling against overheating.

    • RapidRAW 1.5.7 by Razvan Serea RapidRAW is a beautiful, non-destructive, GPU‑accelerated RAW image editor designed for speed and simplicity. It uses a lightweight (~30 MB), efficient code base built with Rust, React and Tauri. Ideal for Lightroom workflows, it offers rich editing tools—exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites/blacks, tone curves, HSL mixer, dehaze, vignetting, film grain, sharpening, clarity and noise reduction—processed in real-time on the GPU. Features include intuitive masking (brush, linear, radial, AI-powered subject and foreground detection), generative edit layers (via ComfyUI), 32‑bit precision, and full RAW format support through rawler. RapidRAW also provides library management (folder navigation, ratings, metadata, EXIF viewer), batch operations, export presets (JPEG/PNG/TIFF), sidecar editing (.rrdata), undo/redo history, customizable UI themes, smooth animations, resizable panels, and preset copy/paste. A modern high-performance Lightroom alternative with polished UX and creative tools, RapidRAW brings powerful photo editing to photographers seeking speed, responsive GPU feedback, and streamlined workflows. RapidRAW v1.5.7 release notes: This update serves as a direct follow-up to the core architectural migration introduced in v1.5.6. While the transition to a more modular state management system marked a significant step forward for RapidRAW's stability and long-term maintainability, it also introduced several edge cases and regressions within the library and editing workflows. This release focuses on addressing those issues, with a particular emphasis on a complete overhaul of library performance to ensure smooth and responsive browsing following the refactoring. It also resolves inconsistencies in the copy-and-paste workflow and expands RapidRAW's accessibility by adding support for eight additional languages.
