I learned how to get my way around Foobar by searching around the wiki. (Use the search function on the left side)

http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Foobar2000

Try to understand how each code works.. like Titleformatting.

Hi, meanwhile I could figure out some things by trial and error, but there are three questions left (propably ridiculous):

1. how can I sort the albums in album list by artist and not by albumname? I tried changing the order in preferences-->media library-->album list, but it had no effect!?

2. I want albums and tracks to be enqueued by double-clicking them in album list. How can this be achieved?

3. Clicking on the player in the taskbar does not minimize it.... any suggestions?

thanks a lot for your help and keep up the good work! :)

Trial and Error!! That's the best way to learn how to use Foobar!

1. Right-click somewhere in the "Album List" panel. Choose View -> by Artist

2. Right-click somewhere in the "Album List" panel. Choose Settings, where you'll see an option to change the double-click and middle-click action.

3. Clicking on taskbar doesn't minimize for me either and I don't think it can be changed for now. Instead, I use the "tray icon" which does min/max on click. The option can be found in the Panels UI main settings.

Ok, I'm fairly new to Foobar, so sorry if this question is asked frequently or something.

Foo AvA_DX6 seemed to install fine, I didn't have any trouble setting up, except for one thing:

It displays "UNKNOWN FUNCTION" repeatedly in some areas on the UI (circled in the attached picture).

Anyone know why it's doing this, and how I can fix it?

Yeah, download the latest PanelsUI here

http://panels.fooblog2000.com/

I have been trying to download "lyric show modded" but no joy.Some of the links dont work and the ones which download something when I try and open it it says its corrupt....I am using WinRar to open the file - it recognises the .7z file extensionDoes anyone have it? Will is it not zipped or rarred !!

UPDATE

Its OK, found ithttp://gro.clinux.org/frs/?group_id=737&release_id=1383

Although they still dont open in WinRar but seem a lot bigger than the other files??

It opens up fine for me with both WinRAR and 7zip.

There are more updated versions found here.

I updated PanelsUI to the lastest versioin "0.14.9 beta" and I'm getting the "UNKNOWN FUNCTION" error in some places! I was working fine with "0.14.6 beta".

I tried it out just now. I get the same thing, so you're not the only one. Just stick with an older version.

additional post:

Holy Crap! After trying 0.14.6 beta and switching back to my old 0.13.8.. I couldn't load FooAVA UI anymore.

Good thing I had my Foobar folder backed up. Always back up your config before making changes! :D

@ g2theangsta

Just turn on 'library filter' in settings

God damn it! I lost all my changes for 1.04ver (I don't have any new copy so I have to start from the almost clear 1.03 version).

:wacko:

@dawxxx666

Ooops about the lost of your new settings.

I really love your design. Thanks for making it available for us :)

I would like to ask if its is possible to have a 'play random track' button beside the other already existing ones.

Plus have u noticed that once u have started the vis panel, it still uses up your cpu even if u switch back to a cover picture.

In the future realised vould put in a option that allows u to choose the colour from a palette rather than just blue or red. I dont know if thats possible, just asking.

Another thing i have noticed, if your playlist is less than a page long and u hide the scrollbar, the time lenght of the songs are not entirely displayed

thank you, stripedphantom. The "tray icon"- function ist great, I use it now. Concerning 1.+2. my main problem is to even find the right menus. Right clicking doesn't offer me "view", and the settings menu doesn't fit the expectations either. Maybe these screenshots will explain my problem:

Woops, you're using Library Filter not Album List. I don't know how to use Library filter. There are some options in the preferences though (Ctrl+P.

and dawxxx666:

That's sucks.. I wish I warned ya sooner about that problem with the new beta. :p

You'll probably be backing up your config more often now huh? hehe

In the future realised vould put in a option that allows u to choose the colour from a palette rather than just blue or red. I dont know if thats possible, just asking.

It's possible, I can add something like this:

Red -0+

Green -200+

Blue -255+

so you can set your own color, but it doesn't have effect on visualisations, wsh panel and buttons.

Yes, I know that problem - it's fixed.

Hehe, I'm going to be smarter next time :D

Good idea, see screenshot below:

Pfff i must definitely read before posting :blink: !! that should have said 'In the future releases could u put in an option...'

Thats a great idea, thanks, the visualisation colour can be changed easily enough. :)

For the buttons u may add a third colour option that is rather neutral n would not clash with what ever colour is chosen from the palette.

The screenshot is looking very nice. :)

I kind of liked your original play/pause etc buttons. It kept the look simplistic without borders around each button (too much contrast in each buttons in the new version.)

Maybe have an option to choose between the 2? (or I could just change it myself ;_; )

just for the record, the latest PanelsUI test-version 0.14.11 is working fine again with the skin. there was a bug with version 0.14.9.

edit: I take back what I said, there are serious "UNKNOWN FUNCTION" errors in the playlist if transparency is used. :(

now i like that

quick question how come when i load foobar it resizes itself ?

Sorry, I don't know that problem so I can't tell you what's wrong.

I kind of liked your original play/pause etc buttons(...) Maybe have an option to choose between the 2?

As you wish :)

Great work!

Got a question, how can i sort a album after the track numbers? some of my albums are sorted like

10.

2.

9.

5.

But i want them to sort like:

1.

2.

3.

4. and so on.

And yes i've given the album track numbers in properties.

Are you using default Artist / Date / Album sorting in Sort/Group by?

Maybe try

%_itemindex%

instead of

%tracknumber%

in 'item display'.

Btw i love this config, and to my above post, may it have something to do with that the actual filenames dose not contain numbers but only the title of the song?

%_itemindex% works even without song numbers :D

When you say in "item display" do you mean when i right click on the playlist and choose settings, a box opens and there i can switch between group and item display?

Then i find all the %tracknumbers% and put in %_itemindex% instead on all?

Also another thing i've noticed, may be something wrong here but anyway, when i use the hide scrollbar future alot of the songs gets pushed outside the box so i cannot see the whole name.

Edit: Screenshot uploaded.

It's my 4th answer to this problem in this forum :wacko: , but I tell ya one more time - it's fixed in 1.04

Thanks for the answers.

And sorry for brining up the question about the scrollbar bug, didn't know it was answered before.

Anyway, looking forward to next version =)

Edit: What do i do with the font pack .exe? shall i just extract it and put it in my windows font directory or?

    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
