Really love Foobar - best control I've ever had of my music collection.

One request: I can't install the "Free Encoder Packs" on my company-managed Windows machines, as no recognized author of the .exe was found. Can the encoder pack not just be part of an upcoming release, instead of requiring a separate download? As it is, I can't rip to Apple Lossless, as I can't get the free encoder pack installed :(

Thanks for a great initiative - love Foobar2000!!

If you want to encode to ALAC, just download the qaac package here: https://github.com/nu774/qaac/releases/download/v2.80/qaac_2.80.zip

Unzip and use either qaac.exe (has an iTunes files requirement--search forum) or just refalac.exe to encode to ALAC after placing them in Foobar2000/encoders.

@mpsoerensen : You might think twice about ripping fb2k -> ALAC

* fb2k has a decent ripper, but you might want to try e.g. CUERipper (at least it is possible to run portable, without installer). Comparison charts: https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Comparison_of_CD_rippers#Comparison_charts .
If you indeed want to use fb2k, then at least get the Musicbrainz component.

* ALAC would not be your first choice - but it is Apple's, so you might resort to it if you are to play it on Appleware and cannot get support for anything better. 
Even if you don't care much about compression performance (differences are small nowadays when TB drives are cheap), ALAC offers the worst error management among codecs in widespread use (depending on whether you think "widespread use" includes TTA, or if that is to be relegated to the valley of the shadows of WMAL): https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,122094
If you want to use ALAC still, then CUETools/CUERipper can do that too. And has its own ALAC encoder which compresses better than the reference, but the reference is of course a safe bet - and if you care that much about performance, then you might consider a different format.

An option to set frequency range for built-in spectrum and spectrogram visualizations to 20Hz-20kHz range something like this for the first:
X

It would be nice but obviously, other features to add on spectrum visualization should be taken elsewhere as a third-party component like Enhanced Spectrum Analyzer

Would it be possible to have an option that lets us right-click a track and select "Stop after Track". I know a similar feature already exists in the Playback menu, but that is for only the currently playing track.

Thanks Air Ken but that doesn't seem to  be quite what im after since it stops at the end of your queued playlist. I want it to stop after a specific track within the queued playlist.

@extract Also Playlist Attributes > right-click track > 'Stop after focused track'.

Thanks anamorphic, this seems to be exactly what im after!.

^ No, it resets after stopping.

Also useful that you can add an indicator (stop symbol for example) in a playlist column to mark the track after which playback stops -

Code: [Select]
$ifequal(%list_index%,%pla_stop_focused_track_active%,◼ ,)

Thanks for posting this info, i ended up creating 3 stop signs to make it stand out even more.

Hi. Where can I find info about the field %pla_stop_focused_track_active%? In the title formatting reference I didn't find anything.
How many other useful information are missing from the title formatting reference?

^ That field is added by Playlist Attributes. Unfortunately the documentation is no longer online, but the component download includes a help folder with the HTML help file. (The component download is just a renamed ZIP so you can open it in an archive reader like 7-zip, or once installed find it in the foobar profile \ 'user-components' folder)

Are you talking about an external component? So nothing of interest to anyone using FB2k on Mac, right?

Hi :)

I am using it immediately.

$ifequal(%list_index%,%pla_stop_focused_track_active%,◼ ,$if(%isplaying%,＞＞,%list_index%))

Many thanks.

When I use stop after focused track, it only enables "Stop After Current, and stops after whichever song is playing and not the one that was focused when I clicked the command (and indeed has the icon from that column script). It's probably user error, but I don't understand what's going on.

**EDIT**
It seems to enable "Stop After Current" the moment I click on any other track. Why would it do that? I need to be able to change focus after marking the track where it should stop.

**EDIT**
Never mind. In the options for Playlist Attributes, it changed Stop After Current to on instead of Global for some reason. I changed it back and now it seems to be working properly. I still have no idea what most of the things in this component do, but thanks for the info!

I don't know if it will help you but..it helped me when I got clear in my mind that in the fb2k main menu, Under "Edit", Playlist attributes is listed there and THOSE Playlist attributes settings under Edit are for the currently active playlist.

In the fb2k main menu under "Plaback", Playlist attributes is also listed there and those Playlist attributes settings under "Plaback" are for Global settings.

The above knowledge helped me with the component because it made clear that certain things done within the component cause global changes and certain things cause playlist specific changes. It became a learning process.


I also have a custom button to set "stop after focused track" and it is set by selecting the track in the playlist I desire to stop after, clicking the button, the indicator I have set up (an asterisk) appears next to the desired stop after track. Done

And yes setting "stop after focused track" does activate "Stop after current" when the stop after focused track is reached.

If I want to unselect the chosen stop after track I click the button again.

Show Active DSPs on the console

I suggest reporting active DSPs to the console when an item starts playing.
(not the name of DSP chain presets)
Option to enable/disable this in the DSP Manager settings window.
A similar feature was requested in 2016: Reply #37

I have a suggestion for you. Could you add a loop function to Foobar2000 please. I would like to have it like the volume slider. It would take 2 sliders, one for the beginning of the loop and the other for the end. That would be so awesome fore when I practice my guitar with my favorite songs and when I learn to sing difficult passages. Thak you for your consideration.

What is needed most of all for Foobar is for Refacets to be updated to the full set of functions Facets had, especially to have album art view possible

Should take priority over everything else foobar 2.0 already works so brilliantly well for everything other then this
PC - Teac UD-505 - Adam Audio A4V - DCA ÆON Open X
Android phone - Fiio UTWS5 - TinHifi P1 Max.

Hi.

I really miss the possibility to reload all playlists from the selected directory for the "Container -> Playlist Tabs" (if the name of the playlist matches the name of the .pls / .m3u8 file).

There is, of course, the option to save all playlists - to files in a specific folder... but... there is no reloading or loading them into Foobar2K (into "Playlist Tabs").

Thanks.

Exactly so.

You have to download and add this component foo_playlist_attributes to Foobar2K: https://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_playlist_attributes

This component then adds the %pla_stop_focused_track_active% variable available.

Using the search inside foobar [ctrl+F]; be able to remove the searched tracks from playlists.

To achieve what?
* Filter/curate your massive playlists by using known unwanted words.
