General - (fb2k) / Any way to retain the duration played as you switch to another track?
Last post by MrInsertName -
Hello!

I'm not sure how niche of a request this is, but I haven't been able to find a topic like this yet, so I opened my own.

Is there a way to keep the duration played of a song as you manually switch to another one? Say I had listened to a minute of Song A, and manually switched to Song B, would it be possible to switch immediately to after a minute in Song B (preferably with the transition fading that comes in Preferences > Playback _> Output -- Fading)?

Again, I'm not sure how niche this is. I've got two songs that are both the exact same duration length and complement each other (but are distinct in instrument composition), and it would be lovely to be able to switch between them at whichever length of time.

Thank you! :D

TSAC @ 8 kbps is comparable to Opus @ 24 kbps, maybe a bit more too. Great, I'll give you that. But that's it. TSAC has the same limitation as all other AI-based audiocodecs. It doesn't scale up with higher bitrate.  Nothing remotely close even to the modest HE-AAC@48 kbps, leave alone any higher bitrates/transparency levels.



Comparable how? I'd say TSAC @<any bitrate> is not comparable to <non-AI codec>@<any bitrate>. They are just too different for one to make such comparisons.

TSAC, especially at high bitrates, is very impressive actually. Better than any other codec I came across. Too bad it's not usable in practice, or even open-source (allowing experimentation, alternative models, ..etc).

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: foo_skip: skip tracks that match a specified search query
Last post by Case -
No, that's not at all what I'm saying. The query string in Preferences determines which tracks are skipped entirely. Skipping parts of tracks is based on tags in those files.
Tags are changed by opening properties of the track. Fields are the text labels on the left, like Artist, Title, Album... For partial skipping a track needs a field called Skip with timestamped data of parts that one wants to skip.

Well, I have the "Skip Track" component in the list of components in Foobar options.
Right clicking it gives 'about' and 'remove' so I guess it's enabled.
I do have 'Skip tracks and use bookmarks' checked under 'Playback' option.
You say the syntax is correct, just putting "SKIP=-00:01:00" w/o the apostrophes
in Preferences->Tools->Skip Track in "Skip track query" field.
So everything seems correct but skipping is still not happening ):
