Im using Rexy mod... and i have some questions...

Ive edited id3 tags so it will display album... but for some reason, on some albums it dosent group albums... any help?

From the screenshot you posted later on, I can assume that your files aren't named in accordance with their track number. You see, when you drag some files into foobar, it'll sort them by file name alpha so if the track number value isn't in the beginning of the file name it will be misarranged. After all, foobar renders rows seperately for every single song so what Azarel is doing is just using this nasty little hack of just using an if to check if the song is the first or second or whatever song in the album (simply using the tracknumber tag) and simply displays some tag from that specific song in that specific row so it is in no way actively grouping, sorting, or uniforming albums. What I do (after I have all the tags to be accurate and uniform, of course) is use the embedded Masstagger's file rename function and use "$num(%tracknumber%,2) - %title%" as my renaming pattern, but if you have all your files in the same folder and not arranged into folders and sub folders by artist and album, you might wanna throw in %artist% and %album% somewhere before the track number. Either that or you can use sort playlist (or sort selection). Personally, I use "%artist%%date%%album%$num(%tracknumber%,2)" as my sorting scheme. Also, from your screenshot, I can see that you are using the wrong font as the arrows and the RG warnings aren't showing up correctly. Talking of ReplyGain, I suggest you RG your files as it seems you didn't already. I, too, thought little of RG at the beginning, but as I started trying it out I saw the great power and potential it possesses.

You need to be using a different GUI plugin, ui_columns. try looking at http://foobar.nub4life.net/

After you switch, you can use any of the config themes from that site or here by going into the plugin options and using the import option. Hope this helps ..

hey fellows.

first thing, I have to apologize because of my poor english.

maybe the answer is allready here, so I did not understand it.

I installed foobar 0.8.2 and columns 0.1.

But when i'm trying to import any .fcs file, he just do nothing, well it seems to, without azrael, who gives me an error message : "unknown element found in file, skipping"

So please help me to customize this great audio player.

Another question : without quicktag, it exist another plugin to make a rating of our songs?

    • Sony's region restrictions on PC begin lifting, bringing back PlayStation ports for everyone

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Sony's region restrictions on PC begin lifting, bringing back PlayStation ports for everyone by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe 2023 was when Sony began its region-locking initiative on the PC platform. The move affected over 100 countries, restricting the purchase of popular PlayStation ports and live service experiences for anyone in the regions outside of Sony's choosing. However, it seems the company is finally opening up access to these countries, starting today. While Sony has made no official announcements, which was also how the original restrictions came to be, users in these regions have begun seeing most of the publisher's catalog reappearing on their Steam store platforms. The change can be seen on affected games' SteamDB histories as well. For example, on Helldivers 2, a popular but blocked multiplayer game from before, it can be seen that the 'PurchaseRestrictedCountries' flag has been removed from a large number of countries just a few hours ago, on June 13. The controversy began in 2023 when Sony began requiring PlayStation Network accounts for their PC ports, even for games that did not have any online elements. Following an uproar, especially regarding Helldivers 2, the company reversed course and made it an optional account on PC. Unfortunately, Sony did not lift the regional restrictions it placed on the countries that do not officially support PlayStation Network accounts, which amounts to well over 100 regions. As for what may have changed the company's mind about this, Stellar Blade may have played a big role. The Sony-published action game by Shift Up just released on PC to an absolutely massive audience, with it already touting almost 200,000 concurrent players on the Steam platform. While its demo was originally region restricted, the developer had worked with Sony to remove these locks and launch the game globally. Just a few days later, almost the entire PlayStation catalog has gone through the same process. Interestingly, while massive PlayStation titles like Helldivers 2, God of War Ragnarok, Spider-Man 2, and The Last of Us Part II Remastered are back to being available across most regions, it seems Ghost of Tsushima is still under the original restrictions. It's unclear why the title has not joined the rest in shedding its locks.
    • Microsoft launches Copilot Vision on Windows, allowing AI to see what is on your screen

      By ad47uk · Posted

      Easy to switch off Ai on macOS, just a couple of clicks, something that is not possible on Windows, it is just hidden. Even Android it is possible at the moment to switch off AI, by not installing the app and keeping Google Assistant as it is. Not really possible to use anything else but IOS or Android for smartphones, since that is all that is available, unless I go for a non-smart phone. My problem, certainly with Windows, is that Ms thinks we all want to use AI and don't make it easy to disable. I only use my Windows machine for games these days and will be staying with Windows 10. I use my Mac for everything else, at least Apple gives the choice as i said above to turn AI off.

      I think X3D is distinct from "X" alone, weren't most early X3D chips clock locked?
