I don't want to create a new thread for my small question, so I"m just gonna ask here.

How can I make Foobar2k to be default audio player on my PC?

I just can't find the option to make it open MP3 files, etc :(

If you are using the 0.9 beta, just go to preferences>file types

If you are using 0.83, just open the fooassoc.exe file in your foobar folder.

I need some quick help :)

I'm using 0.8.3 with Navigator suite 1.3.2.

The problem is that I've got some albums with filenames that start with artist_tracknumber_title.mp3 instead of tracknumber_title.mp3.

I guess the Navigator suite is having some problems then finding the tracknumber of the mp3 so when I add an album that has it like that it will not line up as nice as it usually does with tracknumbers.

Anyone know how I can fix this without manually having to add tracknumbers to the ID3 tags or renaming the mp3's?

I'm embarrased to even ask this but how the hell do I get the "Now Playing Animation"? I know where the string is located I just dont know what to type in. Here is how the string I have looks, im using the latest Azrael, 5.6.

Here it is:

// Now-playing Animation

now_play=

$if(%_isplaying%,

$padcut($repeat('<',$add($mod($right(%_time_elapsed%,2),4),0)),4))

Please help

in most config you need to enable "Show dynamic info"

[myxomatosis]

Hello guys, my English isn't very good so I'll try to make it short and easy to understand...

I'm using this in Toaster to display the rating of my tracks ->

$repeat( *,%trackrating%)

which results in displaying for example * * * * for a track that is rated 4/5

What I'd like to do is to be able to display No rating for tracks that haven't been rated but I simply don't know how to modify my string :p

Here's what I tried, with no result ->

$repeat( *,$if2(%trackrating%,No rating))

A little help would be appreciated :lol: Thanks

[miscellanea]

I haven't used %trackrating% but what came into my mind is :

$if(%trackrating%,$repeat( *,%trackrating%),No rating)

[myxomatosis]

Thank you miscellanea, works like a charm ;) I appreciate

thanks, and thanks for replying to the pm. a few more q's.. is there a way to change the color of the selected song in the playlist? right now it's kind of like a transparent light grey.

[jagwire]

I began using it, any easy executable themes like we have that will make a nice customized foobar2000 with lots of plugins for you?

I really don't want to have to read this entire thread and go switching and searching through settings to make a nicely customized foobar2000 :|.

[jagwire]

Pyro, your theme is beautiful. I love it! Is there any easy way for me to retrieve that?

Any instructions? / links?

[KKoo]

Hehe thanks. I dont noe what you mean by theme tho.

My Windows VS is Inspirat Longhorn if you wanted that.

I think my foobar looks "beatuful" because of the colours. So just change your colours to dark ones like mine :)

PS: No one solved my problem yet :( I bet it would be more beautful if it was fixed.

Can anyone help me with changing the colours of the Sidebar?  I imported this iTunes config which made it like this but now I want to change the colours.

I would like the bars to be alternating black and grey like my Playlist and turn the blue thing into a light grey.  Basically the exact same as my Playlist.

preference > column ui > playlists tab > playlist switcher panel display settings

you can't make it alternating black/grey, only solid color.

[jagwire]

Where do you get all those plugins?

I have my colors and buttons the way I want it but that's about it, no album art, no cool visualization, etc etc.

I really like what you can do with Foobar, but everytime I try it and try and get things working. Nothing goes right, It's all really confusing, not sure where to start.

How does one get a setup simliar to this one?

I think it would be a really good idea if someone wrote a guide, and put it in "Collection Of Essential Guides" section.

woot it worked, thanks :)

Agreed with kustom, it really angers me that I would have to google and read a 182 page therad to figure out how to make something look prettty :(.

Mess around with active DSP's such as simple surround and force stereo to 4 speakers. Also, double check your control panel settings for sounds and audio.
