2. how do i sort the songs automatically each time i startup foobar? everytime i start foobar, the songs are scrambled, and i'll have to select all, right-click, press sort by, and use this sorting criteria: %ARTIST% - %ALBUM% - $num(%TRACKNUMBER%,3) - %TITLE%. is there a way to make it sort automatically?

3. why does the progress bar of this status bar config not showing up? it just displays a blank space in between.

I can't remember where I got this --> progress bar from:))

try this code, substitute it into your file info code

$if($get(lastplayed),
$puts(month,$substr($get(lastplayed),3,4))
$puts(day,$substr($get(lastplayed),1,2))
$if($strcmp($left($get(day),1),0),$puts(day,$right($get(day),1)))
$puts(year,$right($get(lastplayed),2))
$puts(month_name,$select($get(month),
Jan,Feb,March,April,May,June,July,Aug,Sept,Oct,Nov,Dec))
$if($or($strcmp($get(day),11),$strcmp($get(day),12),$strcmp($get(day),13)),$puts(xx,th),
$if($strcmp($right($get(day),1),1),$puts(xx,st),
$if($strcmp($right($get(day),1),2),$puts(xx,nd),
$if($strcmp($right($get(day),1),3),$puts(xx,rd),
$puts(xx,th))))))
$puts(time_of_year,$get(month_name) $get(day)$get(xx) 20$get(year))

is there any way to sort the tracks by disc number?

586003947[/snapback]

well, wouldnt you want it to be sorted by year?

and if it the same year (like concert album) so then by name and then of course cd1 will came before cd2.

i use this kind of sort and im very happy with it:

$if2(%album artist%,%artist%)$num(%date%,4)%album%$num(%tracknumber%,2)

Im using the %album artist% tag. Various albums are displayed all over the place (per artist, rather then at the same place just ordered by the track artists).

My playlist view is based on the navigator suite, that might be the problem. I did use your string in the "Sort By.." option, and that result is as ive just said.

miscellanea: How does ColumnsUI uses that ? ive put it in the right column, the "Use Custom Sorting Spec" is enabled, and it doesnt change anything in the order. If i order again normally, i get the same result, various artist tracks all over the place.

EDIT: ok, when i click on the column header ( i never use these ) it DOES sort it right. Any.. more comfortable way of doing it ?

    • I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.
    • I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
    • I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux.
