Maybe a dropdown button listing all the artists... Dunno. Was thinking more in the lines of something like this:

See the left pane? Well, something like that. This is my foobar config:

I love the way I can just click on an artist, and the entire playlist changes.

As much as I love the aesthetics of your config, it needs a wee bit more intuitivness.

See the dropdown arrows in my current config? It shows the folder structure. But nothing more. I'd love an option, much like Vista's explorer, to click on the dropdown arrow, and a menu with the entire list of similar items drops down.

So for example, if I clicked on "Blackmore's night" other artists would drop down. Analogly, if I'd click on "Shadow of the moon" all albums by Blackmore's night would drop down. You get my picture ;)

Now that would be mega-sweet.

I like it, but isn't it redundant to place the artist name on the bottom of each track?

May I suggest another feature? Thumbnails beside the artist name on the album list! :)

It looks fine imo :)

My work on new version is temporarily suspended - I'm starting study next Monday so you'll have to be patient as I have other things to do at the moment. I won't be available for several weeks/months. I hope that some advanced f2k users would help others on this thread. Thx in advance.

I like it too. It could be very useful for various artists albums. But, could there be an option to disable it in the config control panel?

Dawxxx could implement the isVarious Track global to determine whether to show the artist name or not.

Great skin and everything. I have one small problem though.

How do I get a picture of an artist instead of "no artist"? I have

tried putting a picture (named after the artist) under the same

location as the albumfolder.

The front and backcover works though and they are in the same

folder as the album.

dawxxx666, thanx for great work & great skin for foobar... I'm forget about winamp 8)

But, there are few things, that don't like me:

1. Your default fonts don't support russian symbols (but this not deadly ;) )

2. I'm can't see egoh spectrum alalyser (few minutes and google help me find needed plugin)... Link this plugin in Plugin requirements

Hi,

In first thanks for your great work.

In second, i have a problem. When i clik on a track in the list album, nothing is played, it isn't work !

Someone have a idea for me, i desesperate :/

When i clik on the track in the playlist, *filter* apprears on the top middle of the foobar instead of Default

And always no song when i clik on a tack on the playlist.

However when i clik on the midea librairie the mp3 goes well :/

From the man himself. Too bad, I've been waiting forever for a new release. :(

Just a question... When I select something from the album list on the left, I have to right click and "send to playlist" to view the contents.

What do I need to do to make it work like the album list option says: "Always send to playlist: Library View"?

Also, I'd like the albums in the album list pane to be sorted by year, not albumname.

You mean album list pane or library filter instead of album list?

For Library Filter: Preferences->display->PanelsUI then select "Send to playlist ..." from Actions

Edit:

Just click rmb on album list->view->by year

Here's what I'd like to know. On the left pane (library view), how to sort the albums to match the right pane - that is, by year?

Also, is it possible to make the "Artist" filter expanded by default, since I'd like to delete the others.

Finally, how to make the album list (left) not expand all the way to the tracks? Doesn't make much sense to me, since I have those on the right? To put it simple, the farthest it could expand is like in the screenshot.

PS:

Any way to make it play automatically when I send to the playlist?

Example: I set my middle mouse button to send to playlist and activate. Is it possible to configure it to play the first track automatically?

PPS:

Any way to remove the artist picture :p?

    • This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
    • Who is paying for this 30x scale-up? Its sounds expensive.
    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop by Sayan Sen Despite the advent of AI-generated imagery, Adobe's Photoshop remains one of the most popular tools on this planet. Adobe does not have a publicly reported total user count but it's probably not wrong to assume there are millions. As of 2025, Adobe Creative Cloud has had approximately 41 million paid subscribers, many of whom likely use Photoshop. In addition, more than 166,000 companies worldwide are apparently also using the app. These figures are according to a very recent report by SQ Magazine. Out of them, it is fair to assume that many are probably running Windows. As such, there is good news for these users as Microsoft has announced Photoshop is getting a big 20% performance boost on x86-64 (AMD64) systems and a 13% bump-up on Arm devices. This is definitely great news for them as many have complained about the slow performance and general sluggishness of Photoshop on Windows 11 ever since the advent of the latter back in 2021. If you are wondering how Microsoft managed to do this, the answer lies in a combination of compiler-level optimizations and a technology called Sample Profile Guided Optimization (SPGO). According to Microsoft, Adobe worked closely with the company’s Visual C++ team and adopted the latest MSVC toolchain enhancements together with SPGO to squeeze more performance out of Photoshop’s CPU-bound workloads. Unlike traditional Profile Guided Optimization (PGO), which requires developers to create special instrumented builds and run lengthy training workloads, SPGO gathers performance data directly from optimized release binaries. This means Adobe could collect real-world usage information which gives a major advantage to this technique, as companies could leverage data collected from actual customer workloads rather than only relying on synthetic benchmark runs. In theory, this should allow optimizations to better reflect how users interact with software in the real world. Thanks to this, there are improvements to code layout, function inlining, hot-and-cold code separation, and other low-level tweaks that help processors execute instructions more efficiently. Essentially the compiler is better able to identify “hot” code paths, those which are most frequently executed, and optimize them accordingly.
