Title: YouTube Track Manager
Post by: WilB on 2014-04-25 17:55:23

Requirements

foo_youtube 0.0.15.1+ (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=104379&view=findpost&p=856350)

wsh_panel_mod 1.5.6+ (http://code.google.com/p/foo-wsh-panel-mod/downloads/list)

Set up

Add wsh panel mod 1.5.6+ to your layout in the usual  way. Uncheck safe mode in preferences/wsh panel mod. Import the script.

Usage

Play artist, genre or artists and similar artists  tracks in radio mode – adjust song hotness and artist variety.

Search for albums, double click, allow the tracks to  load and play the tracks.

Tracks are from youtube.

Tracks are dynamically named according to search  parameters for artist, title, album and date parameters. Tracks are properly  grouped.

Panel mode and button mode. Works in both default and  columns user interfaces.

Toggle radio and albums panels.

Powered by echonest, foo_youtube, lastfm, musicbrainz  and youtube.

See the readme with the download for more information.

The script was written to give the functionality of the  now defunct foo_lastfm_radio, because 3dyd's foo_youtube plug-in now makes this  possible and because 3dyd said here that such functionality was outside the  scope of his plug-in. In the end the ability to search for albums and load the  tracks was added as well since 3dyd said his plug-in is now more or less  complete.

In  artist and  similar artists mode the selected artist plays at ~ the same frequency as if  use the lastfm website directly.

Thanks to The vern for help and advice. Thanks also to  mire777 for initial inspiration.

This is an initial release of the script so please  report any bugs. The best place for this is probably the Foobar Youtube Radio (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=105108)  thread.

Enjoy.

What is the difference with Foobar Youtube Radio of Mire777 ?
Title: YouTube Track Manager
Post by: WilB on 2014-04-27 10:23:40
Youtube track manager should be faster. Consequently the  add locations pop-up that can otherwise appear during  track additions should be suppressed. Both youtube track manager and mire777's version have artists and similar  artists plus genre radio. I think mire777's version is extracting info from  lastfm web pages then using a random method to pick artists from a similar  artists list and then a random method to pick one of the artist's tracks. The  version above bypasses all this by getting a list of artist – titles directly  from echonest. Echonest have already done the work of trawling sites like lastfm.  Echonest provides up-to-the-minute artist similarity and song popularity.  Consequently, the artist title lists obtained already have a popularity index  in them. This can be further adjusted through the configurable options of song hotness  and artist variety. Additionally, youtube track manager has an artist radio and  in panel mode provides feedback on the progress/outcome of radio searches and  shows the radio station playing.

One problem with playing tracks from youtube has been having  tracks correctly named. The artist-title parsing rules in the foo_youtube  plug-in go some way to solving this. But there were still many missing/incorrect  artist names etc. Youtube track manager takes advantage of new metadata  handling in foo_youtube and the fact that youtube track manager knows the correct  names from the search parameters. Consequently, tracks are dynamically renamed.

Youtube track manager also has an album manager. By default  this shows the albums of the playing artist. Albums can also be searched for by  artist. Double clicking an album loads the individual tracks which can be  played. Because of the dynamic renaming, tracks should be correctly grouped,  named and sorted by track number. For full details and features please see the  readme.

I'm so stupid that I need, if possible, some more explanation
In wsh panel I pasted your script, which replaced the previous script from Mire777.
After, I did go to listen a music, I right clicked and by Youtube Source I clicked on Search artist concerts.
Very quickly concerts were found toghether with images.

1) How is it possible that the YouTube image is still there and works? The image made by Mire777
Quote
Buttons = {
   but1: new Button(left_margin,top_margin,bw,bh, {normal: image_path + "youtube0.png", hover: image_path + "youtube1.png"}


2) I have a problem:
On my foobar, to see the playlists, I have to click on a button to switch.
When I want to return to the page where I can see the library, the click on artist or album or genre or anything else to start playing does not work.
I have to exit foobar and open it again (sorry for my bad english).

Post by: WilB on 2014-04-27 19:45:59
If you are using button mode, you have to set Button Mode to true in the wsh panel properties. I should have made that clearer.
Title: YouTube Track Manager
Post by: musikomaniak on 2014-04-27 22:51:13
I tried with button mode "true".
I'm not able to place the "button" on skin "LUR" from Russia.
It t takes a large space showing artist name, title, albums.
On my installed foobar with no special skin, I see the image and lines with artist, album, but it takes also a lot of space.
I cannot compare with the images you posted, because they are too small to see details.
At the moment, I give up and keep Mire777 script.

Post by: WilB on 2014-04-28 00:27:03
Thanks for the report. Fixed issues with button mode displaying text when in a panel container larger than the button. Button mode should now correctly operate in any panel size - it should just show the button and no text. To use button mode set the button mode to true in properties. There is also a larger image that illustrates the 3 ways the script can be used. Upper left shows the album panel display, mid-left shows the radio panel display and upper right in the toolbar is just the button for use in button mode. Double clicking an album name will load the tracks.

YouTube Track Manager 0.3 beta

CHANGELOG

Added last.fm as a radio source for artist, genre, similar artists and tags (any last.fm tag or toptag can be used to return a selection of tracks). This source complements the echonest source already present.

Added song hotness and artist variety to menu, rather than just being configurable in properties (functions with both echonest and last.fm sources).

Added name of current radio to menu in button mode

Minor bug fixes

Post by: musikomaniak on 2014-05-03 07:37:47
I don't know eaxtly when it happened:
the youtube image disappeared and instead there where 3 letters "ras".
Restarting Foobar, the image was there again.

Thanks for the report. The bug should now be fixed.

In french "ras" means Rien A Signaler    No problem.
Title: YouTube Track Manager

I had again "RAS" while listening to a clip found through your last script. No crash, just the configure panel opened itself.
Title: YouTube Track Manager
Post by: WilB on 2014-05-10 18:03:11
@musikomaniak - since I cannot reproduce the issue it would be helpful if you would post the console report if the issue occurs with 0.5 beta (foobar2000\view\console). The console probably contains an error message - the last bit of the console output is the most important (I really need the error message and line number the error occurred on).

New version:

CHANGELOG
Improved the last.fm mode
Added background saving and cache option for radio station data (default is off - see readme for more info)
Added filters to reduce the number of Christmas songs when out of the festive season
Changed the artist variety display so it now shows the approximate number of artists used
Changed the properties format. For a clean view of properties it recommended to clear properties and reinstate any custom settings

There have been a lot of changes, so please report any bugs

Hi WilB, in foobar (two in portable version) where there is your script I don't have "View>Console. Sorry.
Maybe you could help me to position YT image, I'm unable to understand what to put left/right - width...

[attachment=7893:yt-track-position.png]

Title: YouTube Track Manager
Post by: WilB on 2014-05-11 12:59:45
View\console is a foobar2000 main menu command that's accessible on the view menu in the main toolbar. May be you are using some theme that's hidden the main toolbar. You can temporarily enable the main toolbar if its a columns ui theme by preferences\columns ui\main\show toolbars (check box). If its default user interface then I don't think you can remove it completely - but if so re-enable the main toolbar. Or you could assign a keyboard shortcut to show console, again in the view section of the keyboard shortcut tree in preferences.

With regard to the button positioning, that depends on the container the buttons are in. Look on the columns ui layout menu. If it's a columns ui buttons toolbar then I haven't used that method for ages - so you would need to read the columns ui documentation. If its  panel stack splitter container then try the following. Locate the panel stack splitter containing the buttons in the picture. Add a wsh panel mod to the panel stack splitter. Go to the Panellist tab of the panel stack splitter container, select the wsh panel mod you added and ensure forced layout is ticked and that hide panel on start up is not ticked. Go to the script section. Put the following code at the end of the Per Track section:
$movepanel_c(WSH Panel Mod,0,0,22,16)
Values in movepanel are x,y,w,h in pixels - so it contains the button width and height already. Change the x y values as required. And of course ensure the srcipt is imported and button mode is set to true.

New version - minor bug fix.

@musikomaniaK
You can only do this by editing the code. It's fairly simple.

Code: [Select]
Change lines 351 to 353 as indicated. Be sure to comment out create buttons as indicated. You will need to enter your image paths to replace the ones below. PAY PARTICULR ATTENTION TO THE PRESENCE OF " AND USE \\ AS INDICATED FOR NEW FOLDERS AND NOT \. ALSO THE PARENTHESES AND FULL STOPS ARE IMPORTANT! If the path is wrong in any way you will know because it will crash - cRAShed - it seems you only see the RAS. 
         var ft_img_off = gdi.Image(fb.ProfilePath + "images\\image_off.png");
         var ft_img_on = gdi.Image(fb.ProfilePath + "images\\image_on.png");
         //create_buttons();
        
         If your new buttons are a different size you may want to change the pixel sizes on line 314
         var button_w = 22, button_h = 16; JUST CHANGE THE NUMBERS - DON'T CHANGE THE PUNCTUATION ELSE IT MAY CRASH

@musikomaniak Thanks for the report. Hopefully the issue is fixed in version 0.7.

@marc2003... Yes - I had indicated that it was a crash in post #20 albeit not  as explicitly as your post since I mentioned it in a code box

If any one has issues with foobar2000 grabbing focus, unchecking "Bring to  front when adding new files" in foobar2000\preferences\shell integration can be used to stop this behaviour.

Yes that error seen in 0.6 beta is the same as in your previous report and its the same line causing the error. Assuming the script was not changed in a way that altered the line numbers, the error on that line number should be corrected in version 0.7.

Does this mean that ''add location'' will not appear anymore?
With your previous version, in clean portable install DUI, i didn't have ''add location'' at all.
In CUI this appears.
Doesn't know how this is possible, is this because script or something else(maybe fast processing)?


***
Also about ''track naming'', in my script metod i use didn't work as i expected.
So i will use your metod -which is bether done.

But i have something to report:

I noticed problems with ''track naming'' in your script also:

Script always use ''%artist% (youtube track name) [track name search], if best match isn't find.

-If 'youtube track name' is: ''like a virgin'' > track name will be: ''madonna - like a virgin''. But this is not necessarily artist madonna.
So you can receive different results(example):
*''Madonna - Amos Lee - Like a Virgin [Like A Virgin]''  - (but this is not artist 'madonna')
*''Madonna - CAUGHT A GHOST Like a Virgin OFFICIAL VIDEO Madonna cover [Like A Virgin]''

Or:

*''Madonna - Madonna - Like A Virgin - Live at MTV [Like A Virgin]''

I suppose(i alredy done this):

If 'Madonna' already exist in %artist% , this can be removed from %title% ,
Then if 'Like A Virgin' already exist in %title% this can be removed from %title%
So it be:

*''Madonna - Like A Virgin - Live at MTV''

Also as i noticed Lowercase and Uppercase letters are also problem? Or I missed something, when testing?
If script search:
''Madonna - Like A Virgin'' but only find ''maDONNa LIKE A vIRgiN'' it will say ''BAD MATCH''.

I think that all this can be improved..
Anyway, this is better than mine..

@mire777

Thanks for the feedback.

I was having problems when working in applications other than foobar2000 or just when editing wsh scripts that on track change, the addition of a new track by add locations would grab focus away, e.g I would be typing away and all of sudden typing in the document would fail because foobar2000 had snatched focus. Unchecking "Bring to front when adding new files" solved this issue for me. It has nothing to do with the appearance of the add locations window when tracks are added. Since the new naming method and its faster implementation, I never see the add locations pop-up at all when tracks are added on basic or complex DUI and CUI set-ups.

Track naming - yes I had noticed very occasional tracks named by the search artist that were in fact by a different artist. I could change it to show the whole title (which usually contains the artist name) in place of the search artist name if there is a bad match. I will see what works best - but I am having trouble testing an implementation because I am not getting any examples! Let me know if you have a better way.

Case sensitivity - this should be correctable.

I was also noticed that in DUI ''add location'' doesn't pop-up, but in CUI it appears again in xch4nge skin, probably this depends on the foobar configuration.

Yes, in your script most of tracks are top tracks, all of them exist on youtube - in format: %artist% - %title%.
So you can't test this.
My script is different, with different tracks especially in genre mod.

How to test. Find some track that your script doesn't rename properly, then modify script that receive only that track -on track change.
Or you can try last.fm mode?

I was testing this for days now on my script, with your track naming.
Works well 90%.
But what i was trying now, is to mach only first word of %artist% and first word of %title% in 'data.title'.
Example: ''Jennifer Lopez - First Love'' > will match only 'Jennifer - First' , this works in most 95% cases.
Again not perfect, and some tracks are named with different artist.
If i found something better i will inform you.

This probably should be some complex combination.

Only that should be changed now is that if track is in format:
''Madonna - Madonna - Like A Virgin - Live at MTV [Like A Virgin]'' should be: ''Madonna - Like A Virgin - Live at MTV''.

I was done this, and it works good.
No need for 2 artist names...

YouTube Album. Search for album
My YouTube Album playlist is always empty? Album playlist is checked.
Do I make something wrong or is it because when I search I never know album titles, so I write only Artist name
Title: YouTube Track Manager
Post by: WilB on 2014-05-14 15:23:30
Yes in button mode you need to enter a valid album name including the | separator in the format artist | album, since there is nowhere to display a list of albums. In panel mode this issue doesn't arise because the album names are displayed. In panel mode "Choose Artist" can be used to search for the albums of a particular artist; additionally the albums of the playing artist are shown. Double clicking an album will load the tracks. If having access to albums is important and you don't want to be looking at the panel all the time, you may want to consider putting the panel in a tab or use a button to toggle it's display with another panel.

Thanks for your reply.
I made a trial of your script on a virgin portable foobar with button Mode "false" where I can see title and other things.
Unfortunatly I don't know how to put the panel in a tab keeping the same appearance or use a button to toggle it's display with another panel.
I give up for album search. May be in a future...

It would be better that you have albums from drop-down menu(for selected artist) in button mode, and what missing is ,get next video' in menu.
Title: YouTube Track Manager
Post by: WilB on 2014-05-16 17:52:11
By default 5 tracks are loaded in radio mode and so upcoming tracks can be viewed or played. So "next videos" are already in the playlist. If you want a different selection, double click on the last track and it will load new ones.

For albums I think its much better using it in panel mode and just showing the panel on a tab toggle when required. Then there is a proper scrollable list etc. Many artists have loads of albums (nearly 70-100 isn't uncommon) and this doesn't gel well on a drop down menu, and so would be rather messy. Anyway, I will give the matter further consideration.

Albums in panel mode will be only for intelligent people or programmers/coders
Title: YouTube Track Manager
Post by: WilB on 2014-05-16 18:32:52
I disagree. Anybody can use panels in simple DUI or CUI set-ups with or without tabs. In contrast button mode only works well in panel stack splitter, which is less popular. You certainly need some coding skills to put buttons in panel stack splitter. Most users of panel stack splitter do not know how to properly put in buttons. You need no coding skills to use the CUI or DUI panel and tab modes that are inbuilt into these user interfaces and so the statement that "Albums in panel mode will be only for intelligent people or programmers/coders" is the opposite of the case.

Lets say I have no skill at all.
My layout
[attachment=7902:layout.png]

I'd like to keep same appearance
[attachment=7903:myskin.png]

and do not know where to add a panel for YT Tracker used without button mode.

Now I had an horrible problem!
I did "Search Youtube...", wrote artist name. It founded a lot of music but when I clicked on one title, it went in my Radios playlist (the streaming radios) and they all disappeared!!
Title: YouTube Track Manager
Post by: WilB on 2014-05-17 16:53:39
It would do. I have no control over the behaviour of the foo_youtube plugin. That menu item provides access to the foo_youtube source search box for convenience. If you double click a search item found in the box it will overwrite the active playlist, which is usually the one showing. This will happen however you access that box. You should be able to immediately use the main foobar2000 menu edit\undo to undo the change to get the original playlist back. Alternatively, drag tracks from the box to the playlist. It then should add the track and not replace the whole playlist. This behaviour is nothing to do with me. (If you haven't shut down foobar2000 you can temporarily make the playlist-v1.3 folder read-only in your foobar2000 profile location as it only saves updated changes on exiting foobar2000). foo_jesus is often recommended for regular back-ups.

New version

CHANGELOG
Improved analysis of youtube search results
Improved track naming
Dynamic metadata now supports the track length using new foo_youtube URL param 3dydfy_alt_length (requires foo_youtube 0.0.16.1+ - many thanks to 3dyd for adding the method)
Minor bug fixes

A technical note:
The skipping of analysis at clip info retrieving by foo_youtube if fb2k_ fields are used is important for helping to supress the add locations box that can otherwise appear during track additions. YouTube Track Manager has always sent the artist and title and with albums the album title and year as well as fb2k_fields.  But a consequence of this was that tracks lengths were not appearing until a track was played. Sending the track length as a fb2k_field (3dydfy_alt_length) now ensures that the track lengths are immediately shown in the playlist.

First of all it is a great extension.
I have been using this for about a week now all the features work perfectly. But it would be great if we could get the cover art of the playing/selected song when we hit the toggle button instead of just displaying the name of the song. I have tried to do this but in vain. Hope you could get to this suggestion
Title: YouTube Track Manager
Post by: WilB on 2014-08-12 16:04:19
Nice suggestion - I will add it into the next release
Title: YouTube Track Manager
Post by: WilB on 2014-08-26 17:59:40
CHANGELOG

Added the ability to black list videos.

Useful to exclude poor versions like those with significant junk before the music starts. Black listing is based on the video id number.

Black listed videos will not be loaded the next time the track is added to a playlist by YouTube Track Manager, providing an alternative version is found.

Note that this will not stop the loading of a particular track, just specific black listed video versions of the track.

Black lists are managed on the menu - add and remove/view. The remove/view menu item toggles upon clicking between allowing removal and viewing the black listed videos in youtube so that black listed videos can be checked.

Added the ability to show cover and artist images. Uses foobar2000 core settings in preferences\display\album art search patterns for front cover and artist art. Recognises foo_youtube thumbnails. There are also options to enable cycling through multiple images of an artist in properties. Double clicking an image will toggle between cover and artist images. Double clicking the text toggles the text between the now playing radio station and the artist - title of the playing track if a radio station is being played.

For full details see the readme.

There have been a lot of changes, so please report any bugs.

For now you can sharpen the button text as follows: shift + right click the panel, click configure, then ctrl + h, and replace gb.SetTextRenderingHint(3) with gb.SetTextRenderingHint(0) - do this for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th instances in the script. Leave the 1st and 5th instances unchanged. But if you also want to sharpen the YT button, change the 1st instance as well, but I don't think it needs changing.

1. It looks the same to me?????????. So I am not sure what you mean. Left pane is youtube trackmanager in album view (click yT button to toggle with nowplaying view). Other panels are not related to youtube trackmanager. If its the question marks you don't like when album name is absent enclose in square brackets; e.g. [%album%] in playlist configuration. Colours are set as described below.

2. This is a simple default user interface theme.

Set the following colours (Red-Green-Blue) in preferences\default user interface\colors and fonts

Text 154-194-254
Background 24-44-73
Selection 50-95-31
Highlight 229-240-255

Layout is is organised by standard splitters (view\layout\enable layout editing mode):

Vertical is a splitter (left/right); then left pane of this has two splitters (top/bottom) that contain youtube trackmanager (nowplaying view shown), Lyric Show Panel 3 (http://www.foobar2000.org/components) and the spectrum. Right panel is EsPlaylist (http://foo2k.chottu.net/).

3. Probably this is unrelated to youtube trackmanager; playback errors of youtube videos may be caused by internet dropouts, especially if playing videos that require high bandwidth as opposed to audio only. Try the preconfigured audio version of foo_youtube or check the foo_youtube thread (http://www.hydrogenaud.io/forums/index.php?showtopic=104379) for setup hints. Very occassionally I have had poor youtube videos that are incorrectly truncated. Let me know if you have more info and I may be able to help further.

4. Youtube trackmanager does not control foobar2000 notifications. These are core foobar2000 settings. Check settings in preferences\default user interface.

    The  script can already pretty much do this although by a slightly different method,  i.e. you can already save the results (up to the top 50) yourself and access  the songs offline. To do this, generate the top 50 playlists whilst the media  library is enabled. Offline means restricting playback to songs in the library.  So to identify library tracks in the playlists use something like $if($strstr(%path%,youtube.com/watch?),YouTube  Video,Library Track). They can then be sorted if required. Symbols etc can be  used instead of the text descriptions. This method also makes it much easier to  identify the tracks you can play.


Title: YouTube Track Manager
Post by: WilB on 2015-10-18 17:30:27
    New version 1.8 (see the readme for  full information & installation instructions) CHANGELOG:

    Improved button drawing

    Improved  radio modes  These offer single artist, genre/top tags, similar artists & similar songs  playback based on track popularity data from last.fm, echonest  or your library. They're great for listening to music of a chosen  style. Last.fm & echonest also work well for music discovery with  echonest recommended for simplicity & last.fm for more  control or if you prefer the musical choices. Uses YouTube links  (default; audio only & video) or available library tracks. Library  radio offers a new way of playing your own music & avoids  YouTube links. Changes to radio settings require a station reload.

                                                                        Album  manager The  album manager can use album track lists from MusicBrainz or last.fm to build  albums from YouTube links. Available library tracks (artist - title match) can  be used instead of YouTube tracks.

        [/li][/list]                                        Nowplaying panel New image only mode  (mouse middle click or "Manage" menu): acts as an album artwork panel  for covers and artist images. Dual functionality is useful if you no longer  wish to look at album & track lists. Nowplaying panel can cycle through multiple artist images (see readme) &  display covers [external + embedded] / YouTube pics / radio search feedback /  nowplaying text / active playlist name. Toggles: double click > image/text  types; middle click > image only mode vs  image + text; yT button> nowplaying vs album  manager panels.

    Properties Simplified &  cleaned of redundant. Export previous before updating, if you need a record.

    Album Playlist Please rename to  "Album" or alter property name. Previous: "YouTube Album"  N/A now.

    Requires: wsh_panel_mod 1.5.6 (https://code.google.com/p/foo-wsh-panel-mod/downloads/list) or higher (https://github.com/19379/foo_uie_wsh_panel_mod/releases) (don't use 1.5.8); foo_youtube (https://www.hydrogenaud.io/forums/index.php?showtopic=104379) 1.12.1+. Optional: m-TAGS (http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_tags) 1.12+; foo_playcount (http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_playcount).

    New  Version 1.9   

Fixed  minor issues with library radio and m-TAGS.   

@widerock   

(1)  Thanks for the report. Fixed 'Korean Character' and other character support  with Echonest radio. Last.fm radio was already OK. Nonetheless, some Korean  artists have very few or zero tracks in the Echonest database. Last.fm seemed  fine and so I would recommend using Last.fm radio for Korean artists.   

(2)  I suspect that is due to a foobar2000 setting. Uncheck "Bring to front  when adding new files" in foobar2000\preferences\shell integration to  ensure that foobar2000 does not grab focus away from other applications (see  set up instructions in the readme).

[/li][li]Improved smooth      scrolling and scrollbar. [/li][li]Added mouse wheel option of page or standard 3 line scrolling (page      = default; change in panel properties). [/li][li]Panel now      mostly uses left button single click actions (rather than double click) so      that it works the same way as library tree and album list type panels. [/li][li]Added custom      colour options to panel properties: presets to auto fade & blend      colours plus ability to set all colours individually. [/li][li]Added      ability to zoom the font size: use mouse-over with CTRL + mouse wheel.      Base font size is set with DUI or CUI list font, as before. Changing the UI list font size      resets the zoom. Button size can still be zoomed in same way. Zoom      settings for both font and button sizes are now grouped & previous      button size property removed. [/li][li]Library radio –      nowplaying panel now reports the number of matching tracks found in the      library, and thus the pool size that is being used for the radio. [/li][li]Improved search      focus handling. [/li][li]yT button now      fades when now playing panel is in image only mode (it's always top      right). [/li][li]Improved      properties format; this only affects *USER properties. The script will      automatically copy over previous *USER property values. Export previous      before updating, if you need a record or have made complex changes [/li][/list] YouTube  Track Manager 2.3 requires:

[/li][li]JScript Panel      1.0.0 (https://github.com/19379/foo-jscript-panel/releases)      or better (WSH Panel Mod 1.6.1 or 1.6.2 or 1.6.3 can be used instead). [/li][li]foo_youtube (https://www.hydrogenaud.io/forums/index.php?showtopic=104379) 1.14.1+      (earlier versions will not work correctly). [/li][li]Optional      components: [/li][li]foo_playcount (http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_playcount). Recommended for        optimal performance of the media library radio. The media library radio        will also work best where you have a reasonable number of tracks to pick        from (nowplaying panel now reports the pool size used). [/li][li]m-TAGS (http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_tags) 1.12+.        Required to enable inclusion of media library tracks, with correct        grouping, in albums built by album manager. If the foobar2000\yttm\albums        folder is added as a monitored music folder in preferences\media library        the albums will show in the media library. This process can be        enabled/disabled at any time. Use "!!.tags"        (filename suffix) in library filters to identify the m-TAGS albums in the        media library etc. "View by folder structure" is also useful        (look under the initial letter of the artist). To view the original media        library, use "NOT %path% HAS !!.tags" in filters or        "*!!.tags" as an excluded file type in preferences\media        library. Enter all without the quotes. [/li][/list] [/li][/list] Installation:  Add a JScript Panel to the layout in the  usual way. Click the JScript panel (or right click and choose configure) to  open the editor. Use the tools button to import the YouTube Track Manager  script. Finally, it is recommended to optimise settings under foobar2000\preferences\shell  integration: (1) Uncheck "Bring to front when adding new files" to  ensure that foobar2000 does not grab focus away from other applications. (2) If  the default %path_sort% is present in "Sort incoming files by: ",  change it to something better like %album artist% - %album% - %tracknumber% -  %title% to ensure album tracks are loaded in the correct order.

Many  options are on the YouTube Track Manager right click menu. Other options are in  panel properties (accessed from the right click menu). See the readme for full  info.
