Everything you need is on my website, I'm writing instruction which will soon appear on this forum.

PS. All sugestions are welcomed, but don't ask me "How can I add/get rid of..."

great Job, thanks david!

looks beautiful and works fine so far. When I switched to foobar, i would not have imagined how nice this player can actually look.

However, is it possible to position the miniplayer independent from the main window? I would love to place the mini player in the lower right corner of my desktop, but have the main window show up somewhere else when i need it (it is cut-off when launching from the mini player in the corner).

nice work,

just 2 notes about mini player mode about spectrum channel

1) background columns don't match with position of the foreground columns (see screenshot)

2) the upper line background is missing, the spectrum go upper than the background pic, see the arrow pointer on the capture below :

Everything's alright but you need latest version of channel spectrum panel.

I have some technical issues with the new skin:

There is no way to refresh the Cover Art source like in 1.03+ (I could paste a Folder.jpg in the folder of the cd i was playing and it would show up, and if it didnt, I could right click on the cover and click "refresh source" or something)

When you press the middle arrow so its just one section (instead of Cover Art and Playlist) it uses an older Folder.jpg or I think "AlbumArtSmall.jpg" and you cannot refresh this either. This makes things look really weird when you're switching between the two settings and one shows no cover and the other shows a cover.

Also it's kind of eh to have all the stars in the playlist if there is no existing rating for it, maybe if you got rid of the stars in the playlist until there is a rating and just rate a song via the Cover Art panel or MiniPlayer?

Is there any way to remove files from playlist ?

When I click DEL or choose "Remove File(s) from Library" from context menu nothing happens. Is this a bug ?

As far as I remember it was OK in the previous version ?

There`s one more thing, link on artist/album name do nothing (no search, no visual change in UI etc.).

Apart from that .. skin is really great. Keep up the good work.

You don't have to sign your posts but I believe you could remove things in the playlist by pressing DEL in 1.03 but not 1.03+

Kinda wish this would be added back in honestly, or if someone could help me do it I'd love that, because currently it does nothing and it should never delete the actual files.

Also, in the FooAva settings, changing it to album art panel shows the cover just fine, and I can do all the stuff from the previous versions, but the Album Art View does not show it, unless I was to re-import the albums.

I have the same deleting problem (or lack of) in SCPL. I've played around and it seems like a problem with the new version of Foobar2000 v0.9.5. Things were fine in the last version I used, v0.9.4.5.

Also, your Album Art View not showing covers is probably because your "MyCoverPath" isn't set right. You'd have to go through Preferences > Display > PanelsUI > "Edit Layout" button > "Globals" button ... and look for $setpvar(MyCoverPath

(Search the thread if you don't know what to do from there, or just copy the code from your old config if you still have it.)

There`s one more thing, link on artist/album name do nothing (no search, no visual change in UI etc.).

Interesting, I've played around with that and it lookes like it re-arranges the SCPL according to artist or album.

Also, that link on the CD case spine does some funky stuff for me. I'm not sure what the exact purpose for that one is. It kinda overlays a part of SCPL and Lyrics Show Panel on the album art.

It's foobar 0.9.5 bug, see here: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=60392

You can create a keybord shortcut which assign 'remove' to delete key

I have the deletion issue aswell, and when i have lyrics set to autoscroll it doesnt work correctly. other than that everything else is perfect and i love it =0]

I am a major newbie to this and how do I get the lyrics to show?

I have tried to get the lyrics from the db, but eventhough i klick ok, it doesent show up. what am i doing wrong?

-Edit- when I exited foobar and started it again, the lyrics showed up. is that how it works? if so, i'm back to winamp.

I've just update components list in first post...

About the lyrics - ther are some problems with latest version of lyric show panel, but they will be fixed soon. Just check this site from time to time: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=55692

The right link for foo_cwb_hooks_1.2.6 is "http://foobar.bazquux.com/downloads/foo_cwb_hooks.zip", the one you give in 1st page, i think is an ols version.

Thx, works like a charm now (I was using wrong command with my shortcut). I`m still un sure what`s with these links. After reinstalling foobar and all its components links were not working again, fooling around with settings sorted that out (but I don`t really know what exactly helps, cause I was changing lots of them).

PS: Co wersja to lepsza, czekam na kolejne ;) Może coś w klimacie miniplayera ? Jest naprawdę świetny.

    • You still can, its just under the Transform flyout for WordArt now
    • Likely nothing will be done in corporate America, there have been countless Tesla self-driving incidents. Then again, there have also been countless human operated incidents. It's literally daily news here in Canada, to the extent that it's now odd if we get a day where a collision doesn't get announced on the radio throughout the day...
    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk, mousing around. Apologies for the knife cut across the top of the box; that was my doing, being a bit too heavy-handed with opening up the outer packaging. First up, what's in the box: SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 1x Type-C charging cable User Manual 1-Year Warranty (card) In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official Amazon listing, here are the key features: Full-Hand Air Compression: OS500 wraps your fingers, palm, and wrist with multi-chamber air compression for a complete hand relaxation experience. The extended massage chamber helps cover more of the hand and wrist area than standard palm-only hand massagers Palm Kneading with 6 Modes & 6 Intensities: Built-in palm kneading rollers add a hands-on massage feel, while 6 preset modes and 6 pressure levels let you choose the comfort level that fits your day—from gentle relaxation to a firmer full-hand massage 3 Heat Levels with Cooling Fan: Choose from 104°F, 113°F or 122°F warmth to suit different seasons and comfort preferences. The built-in cooling fan helps reduce stuffiness during heated sessions, keeping your hand feeling fresh and comfortable Easy Visual Display & Smart Timer: The digital image display clearly shows massage area, mode, intensity, heat level, and remaining time at a glance. Select 10, 15, or 20-minute sessions for quick office breaks, evening relaxation, or everyday hand care Rechargeable, Cordless & Comfortable: A 3000mAh battery supports over 90 minutes of full-function use on a full charge, with convenient USB-C charging. The soft inner lining, smooth ABS/PU finish, and premium black-gold design make OS500 ideal for home, office, or gifting With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. I gave it a try on both left and right hands, and as you can maybe see from the above YouTube Short, (sorry for the shaky video), my whole hand fits in, but my wrist barely enters the Hand Massager. I was able to push through a bit more with my fingertips extending out the other end to get a bit of massaging on the start of my wrist. Usage For some reason, there is a strap that is very difficult to fasten to my wrist with one hand. I am not sure what function it has, and it isn't mentioned in the user manual. The only thing I could find was in the product images that claimed "wrist precision". Unlike the Bob and Brad Hand Massager, this device does not massage the wrist anyway, even though a "wrist mode" is mentioned, which must be for smaller hands than I have, as it is mainly intended for the hand and fingers. In addition, for its steeper price, there are no disposable gloves provided in the box, which is a bit of an issue considering the internal cover (which appears to be elasticated nylon) cannot be removed for washing; so you are left with only one choice: always thoroughly wash your hands before using it. I can imagine this thing getting a bit grimy after a period of use, and that is a bit of a shame. With that said, the buttons on the device, from left to right, do the following: Heat button: 3-level heat control at 104°F, 113°F, or 122°F Mode button: Auto mode Circular mode Soothing mode Relax mode Palm and fingers mode Palm and wrist mode Intensity button: from (First-time users) 15Ka, 25Ka, 35Ka, 45Ka, 55Ka, 60Ka (Intensive relief) Knead button: on or off (6 pressure levels) Power button: Long-press to turn on or off Cooling button: turn on or off the cooling fan Also, in the product imagery, it states there are 36 "custom modes," but nowhere is it listed what these modes are. I can only imagine that they mean a combination of all of the above settings in different intensity levels. The device itself seems to rely on a single "kneading" mechanism located at the palm area of the hand, which spins when in use, and the other massage features are mainly utilized through the air sacs, increasing and decreasing at various levels on the hand and fingers. I am not sure it offered too much relief for someone who is typing and operating a mouse for hours at a time; further testing may be required. It does feel nice, though. Finally, you may be wondering how this fits into the scope of a tech website? Well, let me tell you something: sometimes I sit for up to 15 hours working on Neowin, and although I take breaks in between, it takes a toll on my body. I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief, a good massager like this Hand Massager can shed the strains of the day in just a couple of 15-minute bursts. On the official website, this has an MSRP of $99.99, but luckily for our readers, it is selling at $10 off for just $89.99 right now on Amazon. SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 for $89.99 (with $10 off coupon), $99.99 MSRP For me, this gets a thumbs hands(?) down. However, it could be improved by making it so that the protective covering could be removed and thrown into the washing machine, or get yourself some disposable gloves to use with it.

    • Thanks for the info, but I'm still not sure if I need this....
    • We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk; I figured it could offer some neck pain relief. What's in the box: SKG PS700-2 Neck Massager Rechargeable Battery (inside massager) Type-C USB cable User Manual Quick Start guide 1-Year Warranty In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official listing, here are the key features: Biomimetic Kneading & High Torque Motor: Designed with innovative biomimetic kneading heads that perfectly simulate the touch of human hands. Powered by a high-torque motor, this massager delivers powerful and precise deep tissue relief to effectively target stiff neck muscles and release built-up tension Soothing Heat & Integrated Sound Relaxation: Experience the ultimate Relaxationation with our dual-action approach. The soothing heat function gently warms your neck, while the built-in sound Relaxation provides calming audio tracks, helping you achieve a state of mindfulness and mental tranquility during your physical massage Cordless Convenience & Travel-Ready & Father's Day Gifts: Crafted for maximum portability and ease of use. Its lightweight, cordless design allows you to enjoy a premium massage anywhere without the hassle of tangled wires-whether you're taking a quick break at your desk or winding down at home Versatile Relief for Home & Office: An essential wellness companion for office workers, gamers, frequent travelers, or anyone looking to integrate mindfulness into their daily routine. It seamlessly fits into your lifestyle, providing instant neck relief whenever and wherever you need it Safe & Premium Materials: Manufactured with high-quality, skin-friendly materials to ensure a safe and comfortable experience without irritation. SKG backs this device with dedicated customer service, making it a thoughtful tech-health gift for family and friends App & Bluetooth Music Control: Connect via Bluetooth to control your massage settings through the dedicated app and enjoy your favorite music during your massage session for a fully customizable and immersive relaxation experience Red Light Warmth Technology: Features advanced red light warmth technology that penetrates deep into neck muscles to enhance blood circulation and provide soothing comfort while relieving muscle tension and stiffness Design With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. SKG does not say what materials are used to make the neck massager. However, on the product website, it mentions "soft-touch silicone" with what looks like PU leather cushioning, with the rest being mostly made up of plastics. On the inside of the massager, there are two "biomimetic kneading heads" that are motorized for the different styles of massage, which are not actually listed at all in the paper user manual, but the standard included modes are: De-stress mode, Mediation mode, Relax mode, Shiatsu mode. The massager looks quite premium and is actually very comfortable to wear. This massager is small and light enough to go anywhere, as it doesn't get in the way of anything, so I was able to use it in the chair while writing this review. Unlike the back massager, SKG does not warn in the user guide not to use it for more than 30 minutes a day (or two 15-minute sessions). However, there is a long laundry list of important safeguards to consider before and during the use of the device, and it is warned that the neck massager is not waterproof. It also includes a 1,400mAh battery with a rated power of 14W and input of 5V, which is the standard for up to USB 3.0 power (although the Amperage is not mentioned at all). SKG does not say how long it takes to charge, but a quick calculation at 2A (if that is what it is) would mean it would take roughly 1.5 hrs to charge from empty. In any case, the light around the button changes from orange to green on a full charge. In addition, it is not possible to use the device while it is charging. On the right of the neck massager is the On/Off and modes button, which also acts as a joystick. You can operate all the modes directly from the power button, as well as the app, which I'll get into a bit later: Push up: Short press to adjust Heat levels On/Off button: long press Mode Switching: Short press (while in operation) ➕ Push left: increase Music volume ➖ push right: decrease Music volume Push down: Short-press to turn Music on or off The massager defaults to De-stress mode, and it is not stated anywhere if the neck massager has overheat protection. This time around, regarding heat, the only detail I could find is that it has "triple action soothing heat." The temperature stages are not listed anywhere in the paper manual, Amazon listing, or official website. The heat levels can be adjusted through the app or directly on the device using the joystick button. Usage There's also the SKG Health app, which makes using the massager far easier than feeling around for the button on the side of your neck. If the app is stopped, you are required to log in with a verification code over email, which I am not too pleased with, as this means it will only work that way for however long SKG decides to support it through said app. However, I was not able to get the app to connect to the OS500, which I have reported back to my contact. Bluetooth appeared to be working on the neck massager as it became available to pair with my phone, but the SKG app failed to discover it. Before I forget, there's also a switch next to the USB charging port to deactivate and activate the Voice Prompt, which, when enabled, audibly tells the user when switching intensities, modes, or connecting to the app and informs when the massages start and are completed. That said, on to my likes and dislikes, which are listed below. What I didn't like Unable to connect the Neck Massager to the app Use through the mobile app relies on continued support from SKG What I liked Can be used without the app Cordless use Light and comfortable to wear Heat is also quite comfortable Where to buy: According to the official website, this has an MSRP of $249.99, but is currently $50 (on Amazon). To sweeten the deal a bit more, there's also an in-page coupon that knocks a further $20 off the price. SKG PS700-2 Neck Massager for $179.99 on Amazon (was $199.99) Apply the in-page $20 off coupon for the final price of $179.99 Just like the back massager, this gets a confused thumbs up (due to the cost). However, I cannot rate it through app usage as it failed to connect. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
