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 :)

I just decided to try this software.

Got the new beta 7, also dled the .fcs file El_Ditra provided.

And im pretty much trapped at this point- How do i enable the style?

You need columnsui plugin to get fcs files to work, at the moment the current version of columnsui is incompatable with the new beta 7.

You will either need to hunt down a copy of beta 6 or wait for a new version of columnsui to be compiled.

I've just had to do a fresh install of windows and when I installed beta 7 I had the enqueue/play in foobar options.

Isn't there a way to edit queries in the autoplaylist once created?

Let's say I want to edit a query that already is artist IS blah OR artist is 143 OR artist HAS blah and so on, then I have to remove the old query, rewrite my new one and add it.

Any better media-library plugins?

Also, this is wierd.

When I create a autoplaylist with this query "isalbum IS 1 AND artist is J* OR artist IS A*", I only get files that has got an artist-tag that begins with either A or J; and has got the isalbum-tag.

But if I use the same query, but instead of J* and A*, I put 3* and 2*, I get artists that begins with 2 or 3, no matter if it has got the isalbum tag or not.

Why?

Not sure if right topic, anyway, short question, hope short answer and no trouble :)

I use foobar latest Version, Column UI & Album Art.

Just a Prob. I can't resize the panel.

So my picture is always very very small :/.

-> Link

Hope anyone knows a solution to make it bigger in size, so that it fits the early design better.

/edit. using the search function going for "album art" or "foobar panel (resize)" didn't brought me the answer i looking for - just in case I missed it, sorry already!//

i'm just recently getting into the columnsUI thing, and i've tried to import a few .fcs files.. but none of them have come out quite the right way.

don't worry, i'm not complaining about the lack of panels or anything like that.. it's the playlist formatting that's always off on every .fcs i've tried.

examples -

here, album and/or track formatting seems to be totally random:

foobar.jpg

same thing here:

foobar2.jpg

here, the horizontal lines inbetween albums aren't always there:

foobar1.jpg

there's SOME sort of formatting error on every .fcs i try, i don't think it's normal since i can't seem to find many/any complaints about this in any of the forums i've searched through.

every last one of my mp3's is precisely and uniformly tagged, so i doubt that's the problem.

what's going on? :[

Hate to say this but according to foobar and/or the fcs's your mp3's aren't taggeg correctly, in the third pic it looks like most of the one's in the screenshot don't have any tracknumbers which is why the line's aren't showing up.

Could you post the properties of a few mp3's (right click on playlist and properties and paste in a screenshot of it)

From the first pic could you show Iced Earth 01. Moonshield

From the second pic could you show Garbage 05. Special

From the third pic could you show Creed 02 Ode

ahh.. you're right. it seems that some of my mp3's don't have track numbers, and that's definately the problem. i've added track numbers to several, and they all come up perfectly in foobar.

arghh, i can't believe this! they must have been older rips.

oh well.. time to put Tagscanner to use :o

thanks.

escense, in preference > component > album art panel, adjust minimum panel height

586472321[/snapback]

Yes. I already done so. But then only it's height getting fixed. But it's still so small because i can't fix the witdh, can't I?

Btw: Sorry for my bad english.

    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      So is Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, just to mention a few. What's your point? Everyone is a threat from their enemies' perspective. I'd say that Israel is only a threat to their immediate enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, not to anyone else.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By astropheed · Posted

      The government is not the good guy either. You propose 99% of people require that the government overreach and govern their freedom of information and privacy, while ignoring the government is made up 100% of people, of which 99% are (as you described) brain dead. You can't have both. The reality is Signal is absolutely right and the government is doing what it has always done. Ignoring that we are their boss and grabbing all the power they possibly can to make sure we aren't. Your (societies) ###### parenting is not reason enough as to why I can't have a safe platform for my data/information. Thinking the government is helping is precisely what they are targeting psychologically to take suckers like you for a ride. "Think of the children" was, has, is, and will always be a mechanism of control. In the rare occasion it's actually essential the mass consensus has always been there and it doesn't become a debate.

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, Apple today announced a revamped Siri AI experience for iOS and iPadOS users. However, this new Siri AI experience will not be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year. In a detailed press release, Apple blamed the Siri delay on the EU’s Digital Markets Act, highlighting that EU regulators did not accept its proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the region. Consequently, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. Here is what EU users will be missing due to this delay: Siri AI, Apple’s next-generation assistant powered by Apple Intelligence A new dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations Expanded Visual Intelligence features Integrated AI-assisted writing tools Siri mode in Camera on iOS Other system-level AI features Since the new Siri experience on watchOS 27 is dependent on an iOS 27 device, EU users will also miss out on Siri AI on watchOS 27. The most frustrating part is that even developers based in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27. In its press release, Apple mentioned that making Siri AI available in the EU would require the company to give other AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) broad access to private user data and the ability to control installed apps. Essentially, the EU wants competing AI systems to be able to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and perform actions across apps. To address these concerns, Apple proposed an intermediary system called Trusted System Agent. This system would have allowed other virtual assistants to access the same features as Siri AI in a safer way. However, the European Commission rejected Apple's proposals, and it is currently unclear why. The good news is that Apple stated it will continue working with EU regulators to bring Siri AI to the region. For now, however, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will have to wait. If platform gatekeepers such as Apple and Google reserve deep operating system capabilities only for their own AI assistants, rival services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others will be at a major disadvantage. Modern AI assistants are no longer simple chatbots. They require access to core OS-level capabilities such as reading on-screen context, interacting with installed apps, sending messages, creating calendar events, managing files, and completing user-approved actions across the device. If only Siri on iOS or Gemini on Android can access these capabilities, competing AI services will struggle to offer the same level of convenience, even if their underlying models are better. This is exactly what the European Union's DMA is trying to address. Apple and Google should be allowed to protect user privacy and security, but they should not be permitted to use those concerns as a blanket excuse to block rival AI assistants from getting fair access to core platform features. A secure permission-based framework could allow users to choose their preferred AI assistant without giving any company unrestricted access to personal data.
