Ok guys, I'm a noob when it comes to foobar.

How do I fix this(see pic) to show the album title instead of single tracks?

You need to have the total tracks section of the tag filled in.

You can select all your music at once, go to properties and select auto-tag in the total tracks box to make it happen easily.

Well, being a LONG time Winamp user (1998!) I've decided to make the switch over to foobar (and VLC for video, epic win).

I have a couple things I want it to do that I'm sure a plug in would do, but I'm failing to find it.

I'd like foobar to fade out the audio when I hit close (nit-picky, I know), instead of the FDOSIJG noise it does when I hit close now. Like I said, I'm sure theres a plug in to achieve this, or maybe even an option in foobar that's already present, but I can't find it.

Second, is there a good source for toolbar buttons? The current buttons are ass ugly, and I need a couple more than what's present.

Thank yooouu.

Hi. I change fonts quite often and cleartype doesn't always look good.

I was wondering, where would I look to remove built in cleartype formatting in .pui distributions ?

FYI I'm using this : https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...#entry588515462

Thanks

Anyone who customizes foobar with Panels UI ought to be aware that Panels UI (and a heap of other components) will not work with the upcoming version (0.9.3) of foobar2000 due to a popular (but very much abused) API being removed.

Columns UI still works, however.

well ****, thanks for the heads up

I encountered that yesterday and had to roll back to the latest stable build. I hope the dev of PanelsUI comes out of hiding and releases a working version before final.

here is Peter's, the developers explination.

http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....st&p=564566

The problem with the metadb_display_hook API is that it was designed assuming that people who use the SDK read the documentation/specifications and think about consequences of what they create. Clearly that was a horrible mistake.

Nearly all the people implementing this API haven't read the documentation at all or are intentionally ignoring what the documentation says and creating halfworking crap to keep users requesting new title formatting functions happy.

In my opinion, title formatting has became a disease that eats people's brains out. Nuking of component-provided title formatting functions is necessary so we can evaluate what it is that people need those functions for and perhaps provide properly working means to achieve the same, without halfworking hacks such as title formatting functions to control playback / playlist switching / etc involved (clearly forbidden by the metadb_display_hook specification but implemented by circulating components anyway).

I see that some features of Panels UI depend on metadb_display_hook too. This is another example of component author's incompetence and ignoring what the specification says - metadb_display_hook is not meant for implementing context-specific features such as variables, for an example, Columns UI is completely unaffected by this change just because its author knows what he is doing.

Finally, I'd like to point that it's very easy to add entirely new APIs to foobar2000's component interaction model. Component authors could have easily created a new API for providing extensible script-like functions as well as dealing with the refreshability problem and set the rules regarding what is legit and what is not themselves BUT NOOO it's so much more fun to bend the existing thing and break the rules, creating security holes or other possible crashes on invalid user input etc.

Why the upcoming version would be 0.9.3, when we reach 0.9.5.2 already?

Shouldn't it be 0.9.6 or something?

I was trying to use Reflex, but I just can't locate foo menu addons. The developers blog keeps giving me connection error :( , so I was wondering if anyone can upload it or something. Thanks (P.S. I did google, but nothing came up)

    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
    • It pretty much has to be compatible with MS Office or it is going nowhere. The rest of the world runs office including Europe. If it is not compatible it will not survive.
    • Incredible deal gets you free NVMe 512GB SSD with AMD AM5 B850 motherboard for only $150 by Sayan Sen Earlier this week we covered the story of an interesting PC case wherein you can build two full-size computers inside it as in it can house and run an AMD and an Intel system simultaneously. Speaking of building PCs, these are hard times to make one for sure as prices are often very high except during flash sales or discounts. If you are in the market for a 1080p gaming PC then Nvidia's 8GB RTX 5060 Ti is currently on sale for just $330 and you get the latest James Bond game too, for free. Speaking of which, right now there is another incredible sale going on as we can get a free 512 GB NVMe SSD from TeamGroup in the form of the G50 alongside the purchase of an AMD B850 socket AM5 motherboard for only $150 (purchase link under the specs table down below). Getting an AM5 motherboard now in 2026 will be a wise investment for sure, especially since AMD confirmed its commitment to support the socket till at least 2029. The MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI is a micro-ATX motherboard that is compatible with AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors. Since it is AM5, the motherboard works with DDR5 memory and includes MSI’s Memory Boost technology, along with EXPO and XMP support. Connectivity features include built-in Wi-Fi 7 paired with a 5G LAN solution. The board offers a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot with MSI’s EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II thermal solution, that is said to help maintain SSD performance by providing ample cooling against overheating. The technical specifications of the MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI motherboard are given in the table below: The free TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. The NAND flash is based on TLC which means it has plenty of endurance up its sleeve. The random performance may not be as amazing as other drives with DRAM though. Still it should be very good since it can access system memory via HMB to use it as its DRAM cache. The technical specifications of the TeamGroup 512GB G50 NVMe SSD are given in the table below: Get it at the link below: MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI AM5 AMD motherboard + Team Group T-FORCE G50 512GB SSD (free gift): $149.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) This Newegg deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • RapidRAW 1.5.7 by Razvan Serea RapidRAW is a beautiful, non-destructive, GPU‑accelerated RAW image editor designed for speed and simplicity. It uses a lightweight (~30 MB), efficient code base built with Rust, React and Tauri. Ideal for Lightroom workflows, it offers rich editing tools—exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites/blacks, tone curves, HSL mixer, dehaze, vignetting, film grain, sharpening, clarity and noise reduction—processed in real-time on the GPU. Features include intuitive masking (brush, linear, radial, AI-powered subject and foreground detection), generative edit layers (via ComfyUI), 32‑bit precision, and full RAW format support through rawler. RapidRAW also provides library management (folder navigation, ratings, metadata, EXIF viewer), batch operations, export presets (JPEG/PNG/TIFF), sidecar editing (.rrdata), undo/redo history, customizable UI themes, smooth animations, resizable panels, and preset copy/paste. A modern high-performance Lightroom alternative with polished UX and creative tools, RapidRAW brings powerful photo editing to photographers seeking speed, responsive GPU feedback, and streamlined workflows. RapidRAW v1.5.7 release notes: This update serves as a direct follow-up to the core architectural migration introduced in v1.5.6. While the transition to a more modular state management system marked a significant step forward for RapidRAW's stability and long-term maintainability, it also introduced several edge cases and regressions within the library and editing workflows. This release focuses on addressing those issues, with a particular emphasis on a complete overhaul of library performance to ensure smooth and responsive browsing following the refactoring. It also resolves inconsistencies in the copy-and-paste workflow and expands RapidRAW's accessibility by adding support for eight additional languages.

    • Thank god they got rid of the disgusting looking sidebars, and the corner radius looks much better, too. Two things I hated on day one, and never got used to.
