Where is it?
Hi!
Does anyone know where the "Foobar2000 Music Folder" is?
or how can we use it?
Thanks.
As far as I know, it is where you put your music. That is, in the settings for the library, you point/tell the library where you have placed your music files.
It is a folder within the application's local storage. I'm not really sure how one goes about accessing it on Android devices.
(On iOS devices, it's accessible as the application's Documents folder, which you can access through iTunes or other software.)

That's "Music on Internal Storage" Folder not "foobar2000 Music Folder", which is accessible from the devices storage "root/Music"
but I don't know any directory for the other.
On my android device the Foobar2000 Music Folder is located at
ROOT/DATA/DATA/COM.FOOBAR2000.FOOBAR2000/DATA/MUSIC
On my android device the Foobar2000 Music Folder is located at
ROOT/DATA/DATA/COM.FOOBAR2000.FOOBAR2000/DATA/MUSIC
I couldn't find such a directory, is it there by default or you created it yourself?
the only thing I've found:
Root/Android/data/com.foobar2000.foobar2000/data
which is an empty directory.
It is the application's local storage location visible only with root access.

So how are we to use that?
is it considered for normal Storage of Music/Audio files?
do you use "root/Music" or "ROOT/DATA/DATA/COM.FOOBAR2000.FOOBAR2000/DATA/MUSIC" for your own Music?
why does this option exist at all?

I personaly use root/Music.
If I remember correctly there is an option in TuneFusion (https://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?39617-TuneFUSION-Release-1-Beta-Windows) to use that folder for synchronization.
Maybe
@spoon can give more information.
You can use foobar2000 itself to permanently download and save local copies of network links to static files, or at least I think it can do that.
Did anyone find the music folder? I can understand why it is unaccessible

I checked my Android 13 June update Foobar 2000 beta version. It's exactly where #6 put it. "ROOT/DATA/DATA/COM.FOOBAR2000.FOOBAR2000/DATA/MUSIC". The problem used to be this was the only folder that FlashFXP, an FTP transfer software, on Windows 11 could access, unless mistaken. So it probably might not have made sense to then manually move things over to so-called "root/Music" if not /Main Storage/Music. But with FX Explorer and root access, such move is quite easy now. Not to mention this latest beta of Foobar2000 appears to now allow access to /Main Storage/Music which doesn't seem to require root. The benefits of putting things in /Main Storage/Music is you can share the files more easily w/ friends.
To add more context, after moving the files to main storage\music, one has to perform a "rescan" and allow foobar2000 to manage all files by toggling the access level. Otherwise, foobar2000 would not be able to handle the many subfolders in that path and then music files will be invisible.
