Ok i have a problem and it is bugging me very very badly.

I have an album, Need for Speed underground 2(NFSU2).

I have tagged all the mp3s in this folder correctly, but when i add the folder to a playlist

in foobar, none of the artists show up in the artist column.

First screenie, proof that i have tagged the artists:

Second Screenie, artists not showing up, included whats in that box incase it might be relevant.

Any help would be much appreciated as i have found another album which has this problem. :(

thanks

Make sure you have id3v1 tags or get the id3v2 tag plugin but you may then find your missing more of those :)

My 1st post btw, My foob is now looking great and it's thanks to this thread though it could use a good cleaning. 78+ pages is a bit long.

I'd post a pic of my current foobar but haven't quit got it where I am completely satisfied yet, stay tuned.

Unless there's a plugin I'll stick with Winamp just because my iTouch keyboard has Winamp controls, I can't live without it.

did you at least tried to find a workaround ? :rolleyes:

it's quite simple, just bind these keys in 'preferences > core > keyboard shortcuts ' (don't forget to tick "global hotkey").

Wha?!?!

So if i get that plugin, it may fix my problem, but it may also cause more of the same problems?!?!?!?!?

Most decent tag editors have an option to copy tags from one to the other. The plugin I found is foo_id3v2. Not too familiar with it but it may fill in missing v1 tags with v2 at least for your foobar playlists but I would think you would want both your v1 and v2 tags to be complete. Your screenshot looks like tag n rename, it would be pretty simple to get all your tags done with it. Hope that helps

Now I need help.

Is there a way or a plugin that allows foobar to filter playlists. ie to show only tracks by a certain artist or genre within a playlist. What would be ideal is something that works like the database explorer but specific to the current playlist. hmm, foo_playlist_explorer. Has a ring to it.

2nd, Some of my playlists are a mixed bag of full albums and single tracks (like on my ipod playlist). An ideal format for me would be show just artist - track for all singles and artist, album, genre, year etc when there are 3 or more tracks in a row from the same album and not lose that data (on the playlist display) if 1 or a few tracks are missing.

Course I've been fighting with the foo_pod plugin lately too but let's not get to long for now :wacko: I probably wouldn't be having so many problems if I wasn't having routing problems getting into hydrogenaudio. Hope if gets fixed.

Hi all, I have finalised my config and have created a site which not only includes all my settings but also has a quick intro guide for newbies. If anyone thinks that I have missed any points, please message me and i'll attempt to include all ommissions.

So, check out -> http://homepage.cs.latrobe.edu.au/fgimian

I love foobar2000, honestly ... marrying may be a possibility although not sure how legal that is .. :D

I have attached my config to refresh your memory.

Cheers Fots

I remember when I tried to use foobar all my ID tags were different. I'm using iTunes now, with quite a library. So when I import my mp3's to foobar all the tags are different then they are in iTunes. Anyone knows a workaround for this?

I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about, but maybe you're referring to the fact that foobar uses APE tags by default for MP3 files. If you go into the preferences and then down near the bottom where it says 'standard inputs', it'll let you change the tagging format for them (whether you want it APE or ID3 or a combination of the two). Why they decided to do it that way without informing the user is beyond me, but whatever.

If that's not what you mean, you'll probably have to explain further.

column_ui v0.1.2 final is out

-focus is restored to correct window after clicking on a menu item

-mouse wheel now scrolls correct window when turning mouse whell in non-client area (e.g. scrollbar)

    • 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.
