Not sure what that comment refers to. The OP has posted evidence of his resampler's performance and it's easy to verify that all the posted signals are quite different from the reference materials. I certainly don't need more proof of performance.

If your comment is related to my comment, just download the files yourself and examine them with ears or spectrograms or hex editor or whatever. For example the very first sample that should be silent creates a loud pop.

Yes. that's what I have done and... :/

You got rid of the association, shell extension no longer shows its entries. File type icons don't change automatically, for that the shell needs to be informed about the association change. For example foobar2000 installer sends the appropriate messages at the end of installation to trigger a refresh.

The error message you show should in no way be related to removal of association information in the registry. Association keys are irrelevant to the player's operation.
Is that your normal foobar2000 installation shown in the sceenshot, located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\foobar2000\"? Did it now crash when you chose the Open command for that hal.wav? Or for some other reason?
When you removed the keys I mentioned Windows reverted the associations to earlier default programs. Wav file for example should have opened with something like Windows Media Player once you did that. Unless of course you had manually configured associations to open with something else before using the proper Shell Extension associations.

What exactly are you trying to achieve or do? Do you still want WAV to be associated to foobar2000, just not with Shell Extension but instead with some lesser method?

Hi all!
Is there currently a working MAC last.fm scrobbler for f2k? If not, how might i go about creating such a thing. (the furthest i got into programming was some elementary python and C++ stuff)

Hello, there is none so far, I tried to look into the existing foobar scrobbler component, but couldn't make sense of it. There is some mixture of c++ and c#.

You can check the source here: https://github.com/gix/foo_scrobble

Foobar sdk can be found here: https://www.foobar2000.org/SDK

If there were some more documentation I would gladly look more into it, but since these langs and platform are not my primary, it takes really long time to get into it without proper guide.

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: Playlist-Manager-SMP
Last post by regor -
I think replacing this file within the package/scripts files should do. Or use the new package (note the version number has not changed, etc.)

It should show a popup now warning about foobar being on a network drive or something like that (which will be expanded to also apply for USB drives), if it was not shown before. And no more popups on delete, at least in my tests.

Note with this fix, is no longer needed to disable backups (in case you want them).

Thanks for being the hero who brought this plugin into the new era. I've been testing it out today and it's been working great! I had a couple of suggestions I wanted to share with you.

First suggestion is regarding the filename of the output log, "foo_dr.txt". I know this is what the old plugin used also, but I've found that filename to be completely useless. I actually have a batch file that I created that I can run from the root of a folder and it will recursively search and rename all of the "foo_dr.txt" files to the "Official DR value: DR12" value located inside each file. So "foo_dr.txt" becomes "DR12.txt". For me personally, it's been way more useful having the DR Value as the filename than "foo_dr.txt". Perhaps maybe you'd consider hard coding this in? A few other ways I envision this being done would be...

- Have a textbox in the Preferences where the user could enter in the filename they want to use?
  - Create a placeholder such as %drvalue% that the user could use in the textbox.
  -OR-
  - If a placeholder is to cumbersome, then perhaps just a Checkbox that when enabled would disable the textbox and instead just name the output log with the Official DR Value.

Second suggestion is regarding the handling of Writing Logs and/or Tags in Quiet Mode. Right now the user is forced to Write Tags to their files if they want to use Quiet Mode. But what about if they just want an output log only? Or maybe they want both? Please see the attached pics for some samples I threw together for you to consider.

Thanks in advance!

It's in the File Associations.  You can edit that without going into the registry.  If you go into the "open with..." options, you will find tools to disassociate or alter the operations available for any specific filename extension.

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".
@fooball
 I don't get the option to disassociate, only associate with an other app?
@Case
Yes. that's what I have done and... :/



Edit:
Can I move topic myself to right forum?
If not please move the one who can.

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.
