mitch, what does the rescan and library buttons do?

library display the album list (not the panel since i use it rarely and it would be a waste of space). rescan actually rescans the folders of my library for new entries.

edit : oops, didn't see your post bob :p

@Lare2: Preferences>Display>Columns UI>Layout. Right click on the top most entry in the white area. Choose Change Base>Splitters>Playlist tabs. Then, right click it again, this time, Insert Panel>Playlist View>Columns Playlist

This is my first attempt at Foobar - wanted to see what the hoopla was about. Loving it so far, it is handling my library very, very well. Still need to customize the buttons but after that I am done for this round...

It's just the playlist switcher with a custom title tag thing. (Y)

The titles of the playlist (General, Genre, etc..) are prefixed with a '-', and so are the spaces ('- ', important, must be hyphen then a space, otherwise it won't work), so the playlist names look like this:

-General
Albums
Singles
All Files
Temporary
- 
-Genre
Hip-Hop/Rap
etc..

And then, all the playlists are autoplaylists, except for 'Temporary'.

Here's the code for the Playlist Switcher:

$if($stricmp($left(%title%,1),'-'),
$tab()0080fe|b77c1c$if($stricmp(%title%,'- '),,.) $right(%title%,$sub($len(%title%),1)) 
,
$if(%is_playing%,?  )%title% $tab() bbbbbb|edca8f'('%size%')'
)

It's for 0.9, might work on 0.8.3, haven't tried.. :wacko::

Spex, where do i paste that ?

My first ColumnsUI 'creation' after using the default UI for what seems like an eternity... Basically just tinkering with the default layout but I like it simple. :)

Daydream, can you share your fcs? I love the layout. It's awsome and simple and colorful.

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      By zikalify · Posted

      Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups by Paul Hill Fears that increasing government control of social media risks regulatory capture by the biggest social media firms were raised again recently. Bluesky’s chief operating officer said in an interview that social media bans for children and tighter regulations for social media firms risk creating a world where there are only a few social media platforms run by companies with the deepest pockets. Regulations on social media firms have been very lax since they appeared for mainstream users in the 2000’s. This gave Meta, Snapchat, and Google time to build up their user bases and get entrenched, with Meta being the most successful. Now that Meta has succeeded, it has been attempting regulatory capture. By pushing for more regulations of social media, Meta hopes to make it more difficult for rivals to challenge it. For its part, it doesn’t need to worry about the cost of regulation because it has a lot of money to spend, whereas startups do not. Speaking to CNBC, Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said: “I support the protection and the safety of youth, the question that we have then is at what cost, because essentially what I’m scared of is in the long term, we’re headed to a world where there’s about three to five platforms, and extreme heavy regulation of those platforms, and basically the whole compliance teams of these platforms are 10 times the size of our entire team. So, basically, we’re living in a world where it’s almost impossible for smaller entrants to come in and build healthier spaces. These platforms have led to a place where the bottom line is the thing that drives what they do... so I understand why governments have to step in and regulate, because the platforms have done nothing right.” She said that while she is not against regulation, there needs to be more channels between the small to mid-sized players and regulators to help protect them. She says that big tech players, on the other hand, “who we know are circumventing regulation,” need to be regulated. Essentially, the Bluesky position is one of nuance, rather than absolutes. While Bluesky’s proposal may preserve competition in the social media space, it still doesn’t address the massive privacy implications these age verification measures introduce, such as handing over sensitive identity documents to access age-gated content.
