Hey I just downloaded foobar2000 cause I saw how great everyone can make it look.

Is there a starting tutorial on how to customise it? Or is it better to trail through all of the threads in this topic.

Thanks.

EDIT:

No worries, I looked through most of the posts. found what I need :) I'm sure there will be many more questions from me in this thread. And can I just say, u guys are pro.

Really really nice em3! Made my own mod of yours already lol, nothing serious though!

Only problem i have is, it doesn't show the full track title, i looked through the code but couldn't find nothing, any ideas?

Here's mine so far.

^Maybe there is something wrong with the tagging on your mp3. I've inserted code to cut the text if it's too long (60% of the total trackinfo width) but I don't think that is the issue. I tested a lot to make it work correctly.

Nothing wrong with MP3 tagging, it's all done correctly :( It's really buggin me too! I've tried to change the value of totaltrack info width but no luck :(

Thanks anyways.

Try replacing the beginning of the global code with this. If it doesn't help it's most likely the track trimming that mess up, which I'm rewriting a little as we speak.

// Global
$puts(tracktitle,%artist% - %title%)

No luck i'm affraid :(

^Ok try this. I've rewritten the text trimming code. Replace all // Global code with the code below.

// Global
$puts(tracktitle,
$if($meta_test(artist),%artist%,$substr(%_filename%,1,$sub($strstr(%_filename%, - ),1)))
$if($or($meta_test(artist,title),$strstr(%_filename%, - )), - )
$if($or($meta_test(title),$not($strstr(%_filename%, - ))),
%title%,$substr(%_filename%,$add($strstr(%_filename%, - ),3),$len(%_filename%))))

$puts(freespace,$div($sub(%_width%,38,$calcwidth($get(tracktitle)),$calcwidth(%album%)),2))

$if(%album%,
$ifgreater($get(freespace),14,
$puts(areaWidth1,$add($calcwidth($get(tracktitle)),$get(freespace)))
$puts(areaWidth2,$add($calcwidth(%album%),$get(freespace))),
$puts(areaWidth1,$sub($muldiv(%_width%,60,100),30))
$puts(areaWidth2,$sub($muldiv(%_width%,40,100),10)))
,$puts(areaWidth1,$sub(%_width%,36)))

$puts(charWidth1,$div($calcwidth($get(tracktitle)),$len($get(tracktitle))))
$puts(charWidth2,$div($calcwidth(%album%),$len(%album%)))

Hope you like it.

And now for something completely different :shifty:

Any plans for releasing your Zelda Remix... I'm quite interested ^^

Tried it, it's just the same, it seems to be cutting the last word of each track title no matter how long or short the track title is? Apprciate all your hard work though!

@Primie:

Looks as if it's using ID3v1 tags, they have a maximum length limit..

If your music contains both ID3v1 and v2, try removing the v1 tags.

This may also occur if you have APE tags present (used by replay gain programs, sometimes)

You can change in the foobar preferences whether to use ID3v1 or v2 by default when tagging files (check under the advanced section).

It's already on ID3v2! lol.

How do you show the total number of tracks?

em3: Looks great, if I hadn't just set up a config I really liked then I'd switch...

Here's mine, the code is all on hydrogenaudio.

Does anyone know how to fix the problem with songtitles overlapping the track length?

If you use

$alignabs(X,Y,w,h,H,V)%title%

text should be cropped correctly

Hope that works!

From foobar wiki:

X & Y

Specify the position of the bounding rectangle (can be a negative value).

(W)idth & (H)eight

Specify the bounding rectangle for the text.

H & V

Specify the alignment as above.

edit: sorry for that big codebox, can't get it smaller....

Where can I find that Single ColumnUI config?

    • I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.
    • If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
    • I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it
    • Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
