I like to keep my foobar simple, with all the other fancy functionalities hidden under the hood. I have enough clutter on my screen :wacko:

Oh, and I cheated. Some of the extra buttons are just plaintext. Too lazy to draw them (and they look nice as is)

Looks like you are missing the font Corbel, which is what the artist names are supposed to be. As far as text overlapping, I know it happens and it's something I need to fix. :rolleyes:

Hey guys. I'm using the foobar customization found here:

http://www.fooblog2000.com/2007-03/fofr-co...ration-pack-v05

However, I have absolutely no idea where to put my album art, what to name it, and how to size it. If anyone could help me out I would be very grateful.

you put your album art in each album folder.. and label it folder.jpg. For example, if you have a folder for say Nelly Furtado - Loose, you would put the folder.jpg in that album, it will then show up in foobar. it doesn't get any easier than that.

Oh I see. I don't have my music organized in folders (rather, all my music is in one folder). Will I have to create folders for everything, or is there a way to maintain my current structure? Thanks for the help.

Egads, man! :blink:

Luckily, Foobar has some wonderful functions to move and rename files based on tags that are great for organization. Read here.

If you don't want to edit any part of the config, then yes.

(Although it wouldn't be difficult as it can be automated by foobar)

if you don't mind, you could go change the path's to the coverart to something like:

...My Music\covers\%artist% - %album%.jpg

and then place and name the images likewise.

Eitherway, you're going to need a properly tagged collection.

    • Should Microsoft be forced to stop promoting Edge over other browsers?

      I haven't paid for windows since windows 8. So I guess I would be happy to pay for a new version if it meant seeing fewer adverts (none) or product pushes. But that applies to _any_ service or OS.

    • Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers by Taras Buria Sony is currently offering a big discount on its SS-CS5M2 bookshelf speaker, saving you 35% on a set of high-quality audio equipment. The SS-CS5M2 is a passive 3-way bookshelf speaker with a 5.12-inch woofer, a 25 mm soft-dome tweeter, and a 19 mm super tweeter. This design allows different drivers to handle different parts of the sound spectrum for a clearer, more detailed audio when watching movies or listening to music. The compact cabinet size allows you to place these speakers on shelves, desks, or stands, making them a practical choice for apartments, bedrooms, and small living rooms. Despite its compact size, the SS-CS5M2 delivers up to 100 W of power. Note that since the speakers are passive, you will need an amplifier to drive them. However, if you do, you can use them for high-resolution music, thanks to a claimed frequency response of 53 Hz - 50 kHz. It is able to extend so far high in the spectrum as a result of those super tweeters. While they will work with most amplifiers and AV receivers, Sony says this pair is a perfect match for its AV receivers, such as STRDH190, 590, 790, or 1000.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By AltecXP · Posted

      So they somehow expect Apple to easily make it so that if I install say DeepSeek that DS can then handle all the tasks that Siri would be doing while integrated in the OS? That sounds like just rediculous.
    • AMD 9070XT

      By Mockingbird · Posted

      For ray-tracing, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is better than the GeForce RTX 5070, but worse than the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti The Radeon RX 9070 XT is similar to the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in rasterization Both AMD and NVIDIA have had serious issues with drivers in the past, so I can't say that one is better or worse than the other. Yes. AMD has better support Linux than does NVIDIA. Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to uninstall NVIDIA's drivers before installing AMD's drivers. That's up to you. Supplies of memory is unpredictable because AI using up a lot of memory. As a result, there is a lot of volatility in video card prices.
