Foobar's been consistently running with 350-400 mb of memory usage lately, and I'm trying to track down the problem. Any help is much appreciated, and let me know what other information anyone might need.

Can someone analyze and help see why foobar's such a mem hog?

well, I have no idea how big your library is.
memory usage depends mainly on library size. even more important is the question of how much tag data is being displayed.

I myself use 12 facets to display things like branch, genre, artist, album title, label and so forth.
my library is spanning many GB.

my database.dat file is 107 mb at the moment.
I never get my foobar memory footprint below 700mb.

be aware that this is not a problem that afflicts only foobar. Every player will have to deal with the task of holding the library data at close hand - otherwise you'd be having to re-read the library file all over again each time you access it.

I reckon it's either dump the data (i.e.: do NOT display the library extensively) or get yourself more RAM.

hope this helped a bit

Gotcha. Well I do have a large library, so that's probably the main reason... Just checking if there was any other component was the culprit.

This applies to artwork in the active playlist as well, FIY.

I see you got those complicated playlist views installed.

Exactly. It is the reason why I have only the currently playing cover displayed.


BTW.:
Is it possible to outscource the needed space to a disk - e.g. a solid state?

Does anyone have any other ideas that might ease the pain in the RAM area?
... apart from: go back to winamp with a 9 track playlist, obviosuly

Well, the system will swap out to the page file as much as is necessary...

Your best bet is to ignore the task manager (unless your computer is actually getting slower while fb2k runs).
There's no sense in having OCD about a number that doesn't actually have any meaning to you
