flac files, little question
Reply #5 – 2008-08-10 22:56:47
and about my flac problem: when you say "AFAIK this is more a Foobar2000/Windows issue than a FLAC issue. " Does this mean that you're a linux user, and it's actually a windows (xp and vista) issue, or are you under xp and you have no problem, at all ? Have a look at the link : -- "Windows Vista introduced this limitation for context menu entries that don't come from a dedicated shell extension." -- "It's there so you don't accidentally run 35 exes or open 30 photoshop PSDs, grinding your system to oblivion." I use fb2k 0.9.4.3 in XP. I read somewhere in HA's fb2k forum, that there are also enqueue/play problems in XP relating to WMP's interaction/interference with the shell. Don't know if that's correct. I never use the context menu [for this], but just tested it and I can only play/enqueue single files. As soon as I do a multiple selection, a dialogue box comes up warning me about loading multiple files and then when I click Yes, nothing happens. Edit: and yes i can drag and drop an entire folder with flac files to foobar, but i like to open my music files from explorer not from the foobar library, so i'd really like to know if someboby else has that issue, too (under vista/and/or xp) You can drag and drop from explorer as well as the foobar library. That's what I do when I'm cleaning stuff up; drag from explorer to fb2k - which is why I've never needed the context menu. Hope that helps. C. EDIT ["for this"]
