General - (fb2k) / Re: Any way to retain the duration played as you switch to another track?

Last post by MrInsertName - Today at 14:00

If you only want to do that seldomly, you could use the built-in ABX component for that. It's meant for doing double-blind listening tests, but it allows switching seamlessly between two tracks.

Thank you for this!!
This works very well, and contains the functionality I require, but falls short in its execution (at least, for my purpose, I'm sure it's perfect for those who need it for actual testing). Sorry for not being as clear in my topic post :')

It provides good seamless transitioning and with Replaygain (and training mode), provides an apt experience. I failed to mention that this functionality was intended for casual use, however, and the "seldom" nature of the test player that the ABX comparator provides is unable to do so (only plays once, can't be switched with the ⏮️/⏭️ (fn enabled) keys, etc), to my knowledge. My bad.

Anything similar to the comparator but able to be used in a casual format, say, latched onto the Foobar2000 music player?

Thanks in advance, :D

(should also mention that I couldn't find the "built-in" ABX comparator initially, instead installing it from under the Components tab on the Foobar2000 website by Peter.)

squishyball exists you know

I had to look up the name because I haven't used it in years.

So, the patch from here is needed to compile it successfully with latest ncurses versions.

Also, Opus support (via opusfile) appears to be broken. WAV support still works.

Looks like a modernized version using Rust+ratatui would be useful. Maybe I'll do it myself if I ever have the time.

Hello, I wanted to know if I could move from Musical Spectrum (https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,123956.0.html) to this plugin? Currently my Musical Spectrum config looks like this but I am confused as to how I can retain the same functionality and look with this plugin?

I kind of figured you were looking at a wrong component. You should try Preview.

It's not enough. The string in preferences is checked for each track and if running the query against current track returns true value, the entire track is skipped.

Right click an MP3 file in foobar2000, click 'Properties', then click '+ add new'. Enter the partial skip information here and save the changes with 'OK'. Below is a screenshot showing what it will look like. Notice that I left the hours away from the timestamp, it's not necessary to type them if they aren't needed.

Thanks so much for the detailed answer!
Unfortunately for me, if that's the case, it won't be much of a use.
I need every track playing to jump in time and as I have a considerable amount of them, tinkering with each one individually doesn't seem practical.
Maybe if I find an easy way to add or remove the skip tag from all of them at once, it might be an option.
Appreciate your help.

Alright, after this many years I happened to run into this post and I decided to repeat the opus vs flac test to see if my hearing hasn't changed.

A lot has happened ever since then, for once I now longer use windows lol (had to install foobar with wine), I also don't have the same soundcard, I use to use a Xonar DG and now I use the apple usb-c to 3.5mm adapter. But I still use the same old superlux 668B.

And I was able to pull it off:
