General - (fb2k) / Re: Mono Button on Toolbar

If you want to automatize the process...

This component can be used to automatically select a DSP based on the output device.

Code: [Select]
$ifequal($strstr(%windows_output_device_name%,Headphones),0,,Headphones;)
Then you add a chain, which is just a DSP preset, and add there the mix to mono. Whenever the device containing headphones in the name is used, it will use such DSP preset.

If you want to go further, you can make foobar to automatically chose an audio device by a priority list:
https://regorxxx.github.io/foobar2000-SMP.github.io/scripts/device-priority-smp/

For ex: use Blueetooth speaker if available, otherwise headphones, otherwise speakers, ...

There are also ways to assign an specific button to a dsp preset, but it involves SMP and I will not explain it. It can be done with this:
https://regorxxx.github.io/foobar2000-SMP.github.io/scripts/playlist-tools-smp/

So there is no need to manually select device/dsp at all.

You can create and and sacve two DSP chain presets (for normal listening and for mono) and then add two buttons to toolbar, corresponding to these DSP chain presets or add DSP switcher to toolbar.

DSP chain preset for normal listening may be saved as empy, or include some DSPs if needed.

Comparable how? I'd say TSAC @<any bitrate> is not comparable to <non-AI codec>@<any bitrate>. They are just too different for one to make such comparisons.

It's possible to compare any audio codec to another one, regardless of technology.

@sveakul - what's your usecase for logging the now playing data in reverse order (most recent song, first in the file)?

I'm considering not implementing this at all, and adding instead something better than some of the previous work - a new tab where one can enter arbitrary commands to run on "now playing", with the regular titleformatting, etc. Thoughts?

Maybe by some double-blind listening tests? I am conducting the listening test of the TSAC, and comparison is possible.
TSAC at -q 12 sounds like a traditional codec at low bitrates, especially like Ogg Vorbis, with its sandpaper-like noise.

Work in progress: Radial spectrum bars
Basically one step closer to Trap Nation visualizer in foobar2000, only when combined with linear amplitude scale and narrow frequency range only covering lower frequencies as well as mirrored spectrum

And it is bringing the circular spectrum thing from audioMotion-analyzer to foobar2000 as a feature for this component, kinda reminds me of @TRCTheRaul porting Classic Spectrum Analyzer plugin for Winamp to MusicBee
