We use something called PerfectMeta, which looks up using:

GD3
MusicBrainz
Discogs
Freedb

and then combines them looking for errors, you would be surprised even in MB there are many spelling errors. Discogs does not have direct CD TOC >> lookup, so we have to send it off where it matches a toc to artist / album to be looked up.

GD3 is good.

Having an extra choice to replace freedb for modern releases would be good, we have the most accurate metadata and would like to keep it that way.

Well that's because I did not do the kind of trial and error needed to work out a definitive minimum setup. I simply installed them while looking for a functional setup because I searched other posts for recommended verbs. If you want to know what they are good for you'll have to ask those people, all I can say is that they (probably) don't break anything.

Anyway, in my testing, foo_httpcontrol server didn't start until I installed msxml6.

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: Resampler plugin

Since lvqcl still hasn't released a 64-bit version I wanted to see if I can improve the quick conversion I did earlier.
Here's a new build that supports both 32-bit and 64-bit foobar2000 versions, dark mode is supported and now fast mode works also on 64-bit variant.

I also added options to resample only chosen samplerates or to resample everything else but the chosen samplerates, so it should allow doing everything mod and mod2 versions did in one file. I didn't see sources for lvqcl's mod variants so this is my custom implementation.

IMHO we do not need yet another such DB. I exclusively use Musicbrainz. Ieven contributed 100-s of releases to that. I do not know what is the issue with Musicbrainz (I might missed something), but it is still being updated and the best community driven thing around. It will be hard to replicate them even if you have some issues with them. That along with Discogs are unbeatable IMHO.

Oh, I wasn't aware that they're archived on the Foobar's webpage, that's nice to know. Although, what happened to the foo_adpcm (Kode54's ADPCM Decoders)? I cannot play streamed music extracted from Playstation games without it :C
Also hope that foo_psf will eventually be updated too, to be able to run with the recent Foobar.

foobar2000 mobile / Portable wireless music storage options
Last post by ChrisWhiton -
Hey all.  Loving Foobar2000 mobile for music on the go as I travel often.  However my phone has limited storage space.  I added a flash drive to the Foobar library that attached via USBc to my phone which worked great for a while, until the USB port on my phone got wonky and started cutting out randomly.

So, wondering if anyone has come up with a system using a portable solid state storage device that can connect wirelessly to an Android running Foobar, with the ability for the music folder on that storage device to be added to the Foobar library.  This could not depend on cellular network - often there is no service in my area so it would need to be something that would work between the android phone and the storage device.

I've looked online with not much success.  I find wireless portable routers that can connect to hard drives, but most use proprietary software to move files so it is unclear if it would work with the Foobar app.  Appreciate any info from folks who have figured something out.
