General Audio / Re: "Open in foobar2000" "Enque in foobar2000" right click context menu
Last post by Case -
You should have posted on the foobar2000 forums. With Windows version before Vista disabling foobar2000 associations would have been done completely from inside foobar2000. But Microsoft changed the associations in newer Windows versions and now the official way is to use the "Default apps" system setting tool. It's a bit clumsy:

Open Start -> Settings -> Apps -> Default apps.
Then select "Choose default apps by file type"
Now for any extension where you want to remove foobar's handler click on that format and choose some other program as the default.

Unofficial way: open foobar2000 and go to Preferences -> Shell Integration. Disable "Register supported file formats on startup".
Run Regedit.exe.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes and remove all keys called foobar2000.<extension>, for example "foobar2000.WAV".
Same entries can also be found under shorter path HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, but if you make a backup of the keys and restore them, the shorter virtual key will restore them to current user instead of current machine, where they belong.

Visualizations show the audio data after it has been through your DSP chain. If you for example have EQ lowering those frequencies it will be visible in the spectrum.
Ah I got it, so if I wanted to visualize audio signal accurately, remove all DSPs from "Active DSPs" part of DSP Manager part of foobar2000 preferences, but beware that graphs are useless for hearing the difference between similar but not identical audio files and must ABX (or double-blind test) them per ToS #8

Thank you.  I will keep the console open and review text to know what is happening.

The reason for the pre-cache settings is that my entire media library exists on pCloud, and the pre-cache settings work perfectly for this scenario.  The only potential delay is when Skip Track actually has to Skip Tracks.

General - (fb2k) / Re: Perry's ID3 Tag Viewer

The old homepage accessed through archive.org tells that you drag and drop MP3 files to the left grid. So usage should be quite simple.
Note that seeing what ID3v2 tag fields a file has doesn't require any special software. Just open the file in hex editor or decent text editor and you can see all the details of the tag fields and their contents. The field names are just short strings.
