Finally got round to giving foobar2000 a try. :)

Given a few more days it may replace Winamp as my default player.

It was a beast to customise, but I'm pretty pleased with what I've ended up with; and it does things I've always wanted to be able to do that Winamp couldn't. Now if only someone could make it cook my dinner. :laugh:

It would be helpful if there were some more customisable Samurize things for it. Anyone got any recomendations? The built in one continually tells me that I am playing a track named 'uninteresting', and AMPI doesn't seem to work... :huh:

edit: :) no need... Found it :happy:

This is the most complex(more like complicated) program I have ever used.. Wow it took 7 hours to get it to work and I still only have this :laugh:

I don't exactly know how to make everything myself, but I have figured out how to use some of the tagz and edit other people's code.. Just wondering.. how long did it take you guys to config this thing ;) ?

:Edit: - Another couple half-hour later...

So my current foobar changed a bit

But I'm trying to get this to work, I see that some of you guys have a huge spectrum analyzer (like the one in on the top part instead of on the side panel, but when I put it on it won't get bigger than this? Does anyone know how to change this? Because when I do change it, it turns into what it looks like in Screenshot 3

I think once I get that then finally I'll be able to make a new/find a better info and then change the colours a bit so they match :D

Oh, I really like that font on screenshot 3 on the column titles, may I ask what it is?

EDIT: There a code for centering text?

hey whats up guys, i have a couple questions..

i deleted almost all my panels except for one, and i'd like to get panels back across the top again.. :cry: i can't seem to find a way to do this, or to drag any of the tabs on my one panel anywhere at all.. help please?

Would anyone, that use almost all plugins, be kind enough to upload their foobar2000 folder or something like that? :whistle:

It should be around 2Mb in size (maximum). ;)

I'm totally new in scripting stuff so you imagine how much I'm lost?!?! :wacko: Some might say that I just need to learn but fact is, I'm not really interested into that kind of stuff but I am sure in need for the best audio player on my computer! :yes:

Please be kind & thanks in advance!

Just in case anyone is interested, I found this very useful for sorting out results from the album list plugin:

Preferences > Core

In the "Sort incoming files" box paste this

$if2(%album artist%,[%artist%])|%date%|$if2(%album%,[%venue%])|[%disc%]|%_lowerext%|$num(%tracknumber%,3)|%_path_raw%

Now when viewing files using search or album list, they will be sorted logically instead of by path!

now i have it like this, but the panels won't move to where i want them to..

:cry:

right click on an area at the top of foobar, e.g. next to components. Then you can add your desired panels.

After that, disable your sidebar in preferences

Panels across the top will need to have a minimum height set too, or they'll just be all squashed up at the top. ;)

For some reason you can't resize the top bit vertically.

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
    • Hey what's about the proton vpn firefox extension ? It's not working today
    • On what though? Not Ray Tracing.
    • Agreed, but now my muscle memory immediately creates a layer for each text portion, so editing is made a little easier.
    • Happy for him, it is one of the first apps I install on a new Windows machine, been using it for years!
