Foobar2000 Customization Topic

Uhm, i'm kind of new to skinning my own theme to Foobar, and I'm stuck editing some tagz. This is probably an easy one, but: how do you make the first track of an album in a playlist a different color than all the other items? By the way, what is to prefer tagz or tagscript? And also, is there a tagzeditor with highlight and such?

i think you would need something like

$if3($num(%tracknumber%,2),01,colour formatting for track one here $num(%tracknumber%,2),colour formatting for track two here $num(%tracknumber%,2))

I really appriciate your work but it's not exactly what I'm looking for. I would prefer it just to show the albums without having the year folders showing. Is that possible??

you can remove "%date%|" from that code, but it disables chronological ordering. another idea is $if2(%album artist%,%artist%)|'['%date%'] '%album%|$tracknumber().

Anyway, without using %date% (and displaying it) we can't sort chronologically.

I can't really use the code here as I'm using Navigator fcs and there is already code in there which I can't change. I would ideally prefer a code similar to

$if2(%album artist%,%artist%)%date%%album%$tracknumber()

which I can use in the autoplaylist sort section and would just remove the "the" from artists.

about autoplaylist : it's in 0.9 beta... are you using 0.9 beta?

how do you make the first track of an album in a playlist a different color than all the other items?

I'm using this.

$if($strcmp($num(%tracknumber%,2),01),'first track colour','other colour')

I'm glad you don't know where I live, if you did you would probably come round and give me a slap for causing you all this hassle :D, anyway to answer your question, yes I'm using the beta (for what seems like forever :)).

I wasn't aware you couldn't sort chronologically in the album list panel without showing the dates, oh well I might give it a go and see how it works for a while. Is there anyway of getting the "The's" to show in the panel instead of removing them???

As for the sort string for the autoplaylist, the string above doesn't quite work. I'll say what I want and see if it's possible.

Ideally I would like it sorted by:

1. Artist (with bands like The Beatles under B and compilation disks with various artists (using the album artist tag) sorted under V

2. Albums then sorted chronologically and by the discnumber tag.

Possible???

with 0.9 beta I'm using this in Playlist -> Sort -> Sort by...

$if($stricmp($left(%album artist%,4),'the '),$replace(%album artist%,$left(%album artist%,4),,),%album artist%)|%date% - %album%|[%disc%|]$tracknumber()

I don't use autoplaylist :p

:jump: Excellent, works perfectly :wub:

Here have a beer on me :beer:

One final thing to get and my foobar will be almost perfect:

How would I get autoplaylist to list everything which doesn't have any replaygain information what-so-ever?? I know how to get the autoplaylist to display things if I know exactly what it's supposed to be i.e. all my singles have a SINGLE tag which is set to true so in autoplaylist I search for single IS true and it displays all my singles, I don't know how I would go about getting it to display tracks without replaygain info though.

Any ideas??

[acedriver]

use %__replaygain_album_gain% and %__replaygain_track_gain%

I don't think I've changed my foobar setup for over a year

Hi. I'm new to Foobar2000 (well I've heard of it a couple of years ago but haven't actually used it before). I think I'm going to make a permanent switch from Winamp.

Could someone please upload the tbar_foo plugin? The download site doesn't work and I can't find a mirror :/

Thanks :)

Starting to get the hang of it, been using about 1 Hour & 45 Minutes, quite easy when you know how, and it's not that difficult to get use too.

Heres mine;

the playlist question: is there a plugin that will let me say.. (while in the playlist) press "m" and have foobar go directly to the first artist with the letter "m"?

the album art question: is it possible to make foo_ui_albumart not search for album art for single songs?

also.. would anyone know where i could find some track info strings? power went out, and when i booted back up, foobars settings were.. well... fubared.

If you are using 0.83 then the link below will work, if you are using the beta then I'm sorry your SOL :)

Playlist - Playlist Find should be what you are looking for.

Album Art - I can't be certain but I would think you could, it's been that long since I have used it I can't remember :)

You could try putting all the singles in one directory and making the "folder.jpg" image the same color as your window so that it looks empty... :D

I just started using Foobar2000 today.

Anyone wanna tell me how to change the title font so it doesn't show [ALBUM TRACK#] and [Foobar2000 vo.83] ?

Thanks!

Preferences > Display > Title formatting > Main window title

use this if you only want it to display artist - title

[%artist% - ]$if(%title%,%title%,%_filename%)

[Guest Hoovey]

Ahh. Thanks!

Is there a script to add a volume control feature to foobar2000?

Otherwise, this is a wonderful program.

[acedriver]

If you use column ui, you can add a volume control toolbar. Download it here

or, use -/+ in the numpad to adjust the volume.. make sure to add volume control in active DSP in the DSP manager
