Click on the Components menu then database search. There might be a plugin to put that on a panel somewhere, but I'm not really sure.

Wow, yours is awesome, how do you do that toaster panel thing though?

[Ambience]

add this.

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

i know that.. but i am looking something like itunes. a panel for columnsui.

[eliazu]

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

hey

this is the way foobar sorts my songs. im really happy about it because it sorting by name, and the albums are sorted by year. the problem is with singletracks that have %date% tag. if theres a single that is date between 2 albums - he seperates them. how can i sort all the singletracks to come before the albums without removing the %date% tag.

by the way, every singletrack i have has %singletrack% = 1, if it can help.

thanx.

[acedriver]

eliazu, put $if(%singletrack%,0,1) infront of the code..

I use a similar sorting too

[eliazu]

thanx acedriver!

i didnt work infront of the code, but it works like that:

$if2(%album artist%,%artist%)$if(%singletrack%,0,1)$num(%date%,4)%album%$num(%tracknumber%,2)

i reccomand people to use it, really easy and organized.

I have problem with 2 plugins for foobar2000 v0.8.3

MSN Messenger Now Playing Plugin

http://www.myplugins.info/msn_messenger.php

Get the following message: "ERROR (CORE) : Failed to load DLL: foo_msn.dll, reason: Unable to load DLL."

Toaster

http://www.myplugins.info/

This one don't work at all.

Im not very much at home with foobar, I just use it to listen music on but I would like those two plugins to work. :)

Cheers

Something went wrong with toaster indeed, i cant config it at all anymore in my foobar 0.8.3 aswell.

$if2(%album artist%,%artist%)$if(%singletrack%,0,1)$num(%date%,4)%album%%disc%$num(%tracknumber%,2)

here's my sorting code. just added %disc% aswell for easier double album display ;)

I have quite a lot of albums with various artists, when I use this sorting string the albums with various artists gets split up. Is it possible to get this to work with various artist albums? I would ideally like those albums to be sorted by album name.

[Ran Sagy]

hmm, it should work .. as long as you use the %album artist% tag.. which is the standard one i believe.

I tag mine with %album artist% = Various Artist (or whichever string you want), and %artist% and %title% are the normal ones for the track.

[+unabatedshagie Subscriber¹]

I do use the album artist tag, although I only use it if the album needs it.

i.e. I have a few dance albums which have multiple cd's and one is mixed by Judge Jules and one by Pete Tong so I use their names in the album artist tag.

Using all the sorting strings I have found messes everything up because is splits the cd order up by putting one cd in the p's and one in the j's and because I don't use the album artist tag for compolation cd's the whole album gets slpit up.

I would ideally like them to be sorted by artist (with artist like the beatles under B not T) but albums which have VA- in the folder name sorted by album name rather than artist then have the albums sorted by album year then sorted by disc then the tracks in order.

I have no idea if that is even possible, I would assume it is but I have no idea how to do it.

I would ask in the foobar forums but for some reason they won't let me register with any webmail so I'm a bit stuck as I all the email adddresses I have are webmail addresses. :D

My Foobar

can some1 tell me why my foobar take so much cpu power?

[+unabatedshagie Subscriber¹]

It depend on the columnsui configuration you are using, my foobar used alot when I was using the navigator suite config but since I started using azreal again it's back to almost zero again.

[Ran Sagy]

Heh. Foobar uses 12k of memory here and zero CPU power (Navigator suite while playing).

I was wondering if there was a plugin for Foobar that adds like a "Send to" or something similar feature to Foobar.

e.g I have a flash drive that I want to copy musinc onto, but I dont want to have to search for the file in my music folder. I would like to right click on the song in Foobar, and copy the song to another folder. Is there a plugin that does this?

Right click > Open Directory

Will open up Windows Explorer to the directory containing the file and even select that song for you. Then you can simply right-click and send to wherever you want.

I guess that works too, thanks!

If you are using the plugin playlist tree, there is an option to add send to device if you right click on a folder (in playlist tree).

I'm trying to change my foobar control buttons, but everytime I change them it asks for a libpng plugin, can anyone point me in the correct direction? :)

to users of foobar 0.9 beta: does your right-click menu in windows explorer still has the "enqueue/play in foobar" option when your right-click a folder with mp3s in it?

thanks :)

[+unabatedshagie Subscriber¹]

I believe you have to specify that you want it when you are installing it.

Mine still has them.
