Title: Save current Track info to txt
Post by: creatzs on 2013-03-25 21:04:52
Hello
I'm pretty new to Foobar and I'm pretty buffed how modable a music player can be.
My player is still far from perfection and there is still a long way to go.

First of all my current task is to create a function to save the current playing song and Artist to a text file.
Is there any plugin for this or is it even possible to create textfiles with foobar?

The reason behind this is that I mostly listen to internet radio streams and I want to note the songs I liked.
I kept noting them myself with notepad and VLC which I missused as music player the last 3 years but a function like that would increase my playervalue by a huge chunk.

I would love it if somebody of you guys could lead me to the right direction.

The component Now Playing Simple (http://skipyrich.com/wiki/Foobar2000:Now_Playing_Simple) may be what you are looking for.

Its output is based on foobar2000's Title Formatting (http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Titleformat_Reference) and thus highly configurable.

The player's console has a logging function as well but it can not be configured.
