I'm having errors when i try to load the libpng13.dll and zlib1.dll so i can use custom buttons. I have teh .dlls in the foobar directory and am pointing to the custom buttons but i get an error in the console thingy when foo loads... any ideas?

I just installed Foobar v0.8.3 after using Winamp for many years. I have mixed feelings about it right now. I am so used to using my scroll wheel to change the volume in Winamp, and also being able to easily change my EQ settings (and via pre-loaded presets). Is there anyway I can get this to work w/ Foobar? I may have to go back to using Winamp if not.

Even though i love foobar and would recommand using that against anything that AOL might and prolly is already killing slowly, Stick with what works for you. You dont really need to force something on yourself cause you wont enjoy using it.

Having that said, I'm pretty sure you do something similar, At least with the volume\scroll issue. On the other one, I'm not really sure i understood what you're trying to accomplish. Keep in mind though, The v0.9 beta is running at the moment aswell, Maybe you should make a feature request in the proper thread.

I got my volume control put in the main window now. I had to turn on the hidden toolbars option in the column ui settings. Then I found a volume control toolbar from somewhere (can't remember since I've been all over the place looking for toolbars, panels, and other goodies for foobar).

The only thing I'm really missing right now is a quick way to get to the equilizer settings w/o having to go into the options all of the time. I would like to find a toolbar for that, but I haven't seen one yet.

I'll continue to mess w/ foobar's settings and such. I got kinda bored w/ Winamp so I thought I should try something new and see how I like it. I really like how customizeable foobar is, but I find it hard to grasp all the settings and such.

I've been trying to change the status bar font's color, but I can't get it to stick. I select the color I want, then hit apply, then hit save all, and it just goes back to the default (which is black and I can't see it very well w/ my current color scheme). Actually, I tried to change the colors on some of the items in the playlist and that doesn't seem to work either. I hit the ... button to select my color and then I get the hex value between 2 boxes, but when I try to save my settings, it either goes back to all 00000 or stays where it is but doesn't actually change the color.

I also have a minor gripe about the main playlist window that shows the current tracks ready to be played. How can I get it so that it doesn't highlight the previous song that was just played. Right now, it shows the current song as being selected, then it has an outline around the song that was just played. It's no real big deal, but it's a bit annoying since it looks like I have 2 songs selected. Also, what's all this stuff about "follows cursor mode?" I had to turn it off in the playback menu because it kept playing a song, then went back up to the previous song (I'm guessing it's because it had it selected).

And can anyone point me to where they are getting all those cool panels? So far, I have only found the album art, the tab stacker, and the volume control.

Thanks for all the help!

Ok, I figured out how to change the colors. For the main playlist window, I had to select my color w/ the color picker, then copy/paste that hex value into the "colour" tab for the column I want to change. Then I had to check the "Use custom colour spec" checkbox. But now I would like to change the background color too. For example, I just changed the track # color to red, but I also got a black background w/ it. Is there a special syntax to change the foreground color and the background color independently?

I'm using the Columns UI, BTW.

Edit: n/m! I got it figured out. I had to put it like 0000FF/FFFFFF

as forground/background color. So is there any place that I can get a collection of color schemes so that I don't have to keep messing around w/ this stuff myself?

Sorry about repeated postings here. I've been messing around w/ foobar for about 2 days straight now and am still trying to get used to how things are done here.

Can someone help me get my colors more consistent? I would like all of the colors to be the same everywhere for things such as highlighted item, highlighted item background, window background color, etc. I can't seem to find some of these items as you will see in the screenshot that some of them are not consistent. In particular, I want the one that highlights the current song being played to be visible again. The screenshot will show that I have a song selected, but the one that is currently playing (as noted by the length column does not highlight that as being currently played (the colors make invisible).

So! - First try with Foobar2000 v0.9 beta6.

Rating, Playcounter and Last played are old tags from version 0.8.

Don't care about! :p

foobarv093cn.th.png

I used:

ColumnsUI 0.1.3 pre-alpha 13v5

Albumlist Panel 0.2.0 beta4

Custom Buttons 0.1 beta1 (with UI Extension SDK version: 6.0 pre-1)

((((( Strictly4me )))))

Just wondering if anyone has the code for the status bar to show 'Paused' instead of the playback time when the player is paused?

add this.

$if(%_ispaused%,*PAUSED*,$if(%_time_total%,[%_time_elapsed%]' / '[%_time_total%],[%_time_elapsed%]))

Should one download both files for Foobar and where should one extract them to in order for it to work?

Have tried to just extract them to component but foobar can't load the dll then. :blink:

That reminds me, anyone can run the latest toaster for foobar from that site ?

Here it seems to get stuck on the default config and no configuration is possible, either via the components menu (no Toaster entry anymore) and nothing in the prefrences dialog.

Download foo_msn and extract it into component folder..

It works with foobar2000 v0.8.3

What error does it show?

    • Yeah, when I saw that, I wanted to find the nearest nose. You can't find a good nose these days when you need one.
    • Anthropic launches Claude Fable 5, a state-of-the-art AI model that beats OpenAI's GPT-5.5 by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in April, Anthropic announced Claude Mythos Preview, a frontier model with state-of-the-art coding capabilities. Due to the cybersecurity implications that would occur due to the availability of such a powerful model, Anthropic made it available to only a select set of companies around the world. The company's plan was to prepare appropriate guardrails before releasing such a powerful model to everyone. Now, after nearly two months, Anthropic announced Claude Fable 5, its most capable AI model yet for general users. The company also announced Claude Mythos 5, the same underlying model as Fable 5, but with safeguards lifted, making it more suitable for selected cybersecurity and biology use cases. Claude Fable 5 sits a tier above its Opus models and it beats most other generally available models across areas including software engineering, knowledge work, vision, scientific research, and long-running autonomous tasks. To prevent model misuse, when Claude Fable 5 detects certain requests related to cybersecurity, biology, chemistry, or model distillation, the request will be routed to the Claude Opus 4.8 model. Anthropic claims that these safeguards trigger in less than 5% of sessions on average. However, for large organizations working on critical software, Claude Mythos 5 can be availed through Project Glasswing. Later, Anthropic has plans to expand access through a broader trusted access program. As you can notice in the benchmarks above, Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are state-of-the-art on most key AI benchmarks and they are well ahead of OpenAI's frontier model, GPT-5.5. For example, Fable 5 is the new state-of-the-art model for vision tasks. Also, Mythos 5 has the strongest cybersecurity capabilities of any model in the world. Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 are priced at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens, which is less than half the price of Claude Mythos Preview. Another big change is that Anthropic is making a change to the way they handle business customer data for both Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models. The company will now require 30-day retention for all traffic on both first- and third-party surfaces. Anthropic promises that it won't use the data to train Claude models, instead it will use it against complex and novel attacks. Claude Fable 5 is available today on the Claude API and consumption-based Enterprise plans. It is also included at no extra cost for Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise customers from today through June 22. After that, users on those plans will need usage credits to continue using Fable 5, unless Anthropic extends the included access window based on capacity. Developers can access Fable 5 through the Claude API using the claude-fable-5 model name.
