nice

what's next?
"This is a legacy preferences pages..."
What shall I do? Re-install the component?
edit: the preferences are full of these pages. I'm confused.
This means that all the 3rd party components exposing this message in the preferences need to be recompiled with the new SDK, which has been released simultaneously with the 1.0 final.
Thank you, Peter! Great work!
foobar2000 is the best audio player ever!
It is absolutely ridiculous how much I love this software and its community.
Congratulations! Great job and thanks for all the hard work over the years!
awesome. thanks Peter.
Thank you very much, Peter. Your work is absolutely fantastic!
Hats off!
Thank you, Peter!
foobar2000 <3
I also thank Peter for all the hard work and this perfect player!
Keep up the good work. You're the best!
great discussion love it
Thank you for the audio player of choice!
I've been using foobar since 0.8.3 and it's getting better and better!
Wow.. I've got the 1.0 version of my favorite music player.
Congratulation and Thank you for the great work!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats Peter, and thanks for the player
It is absolutely ridiculous how much I love this software and its community.
Very well said, Canar, that is my feeling too!
So from me also thank you very much to Peter and the foobar developing team for that new version.
Robertina.
great discussion love it
Oh yeah, the sappy-meter is off the scales.......
Nice to see the updated SDK though, and the new sample component source.
Thanks Peter. Continues to serve me just as well on Linux.
Congrats and thanks!
Congrats to Peter and all the development team! This is truly a special day!!
Thanks Peter!! I'm using your great software since 0.8.3.
* Included Default User Interface element specifications.
Does this mean that developers could write full featured components like CUI components??
Can only echo all the others, Great S/W , love it , Thanks Peter and team
Does this mean that developers could write full featured components like CUI components??
Yes.
Congrats to Peter and every single person involved in the process of getting this version of Foobar2000 out.
Nice work Peter, fb2k is the best!
Awesome thanks for all the work
Discussion thread? There's not much discussion about this great peace of software
My thanks go to Peter and all those who have made possible this historical milestone.
Much thanks to Peter and the entire development team.
Cool! But why not take this opportunity and change the name to foobar2010?
Chris
Thanks for the latested release.
Thanks also from my side. Using foobar since 0.8.3.
Peter is the most musical man in the world

Thank you very much. This software is great. I use it every day.
Thank you and congratulation for reaching 1.0
Thank you!!!
Great job guys. I love this piece of software.
Can someone point me to the documentation that explains the new color control codes? I'd suggest linking to that from the changelog too.
need to the scrobbler plugin for last.fm
Always that BitTorrent BS.

While most of the functionality was avaible since 4 weeks in betas, it's very nice to see new SDK! And sample library... Great work, I'm sure it was worth it!
Thanks for the 1.0! Never used another player since discovering fb2k. Keep up this perfect work.
congratulations Peter for the most perfect piece of software always seen. Good job to all rest of developers.
As Canar said: i love too this app.
foobar2000 has come so far since I started using it in 2002 or so. It's an oasis of sanity in the desert of madness that is media players. We used to jokingly call it The Noisy Notepad back then. These are some screenshots I made in 2003 or 2004. See if you can tell which one in foobar2000.

Been using foobar for 2 years but been following the development for a lot more time
Glad i waited untill i was able to properly (and easily...) configure my default user interface
Thanks a lot Peter, and everyone else involved in the development of this wonderful software
Now that 1.0 is out, next on the tasklist is to find a way for us to donate to support future development
Cheers!
congrats.
never regretted the transfer from winamp
Always that BitTorrent BS.
oh right, since ed2k is so much safer... and faster
foobar2000 is simply the best!
I have waited long for this day and am emotional beyond description.
I must say that you guys (developers) are simply the best.
Thank you all!

Great work Peter! this player just keeps getting better... I love it. Congrats to 1.0!
Thnx a lot for v1.0.
need to the scrobbler plugin for last.fm
The 0.9.4 plugin works. Just point the Last.fm scrobbler in the right direction.
thanks, i'm using foobar since 0.2.8.
1.0 doesn't mean much to me, except another improved version of an already perfect product
-andy-
Congratulations. I used foobar2000 since maybe 0.2 or 0.3. It is amazing to see it reach 1.0
Congrats and thanks to everyone involved with this. *plays the star trek enterprise opening song*
Although this doesn't feel like a v1 (it's always felt at least that to me), it's a very cool milestone, and I appreciate all the hard work that's gone into it!
Thank you Peter, for your great work and the perfect audio player!
I remember when Peter was a plugin developer for Winamp but have forgotten which plugin it was, though. DirectSound? I was a high school student, and it's been 8-10 years since.
Now he's holding his own with a version 1.0 software. Thank you and congratulations, Peter!
Congratulations! Truly one my most used, useful and favorite pieces of software!! Thank you!!!
Cheers,
Pete
Although this doesn't feel like a v1
It felt like v1 long ago already, at least since v0.8.
Thank you Peter and the dev team!

always the best audio player!!! i get stuck in windows just 'cos of fb2k, hehe.
beautiful work!!!
play time is "9wk 3days +" on my laptop in dorm... i wonder what i've done in 2009...
Thank you Peter!
need to the scrobbler plugin for last.fm
The 0.9.4 plugin works. Just point the Last.fm scrobbler in the right direction.
how?
Thank you Peter & Dev Team!
Congratulations on shipping 1.0! I really hate what happened to the context menus, and I think that's awful and backwards but otherwise it seems nice so far!
Great discussion, really.
Anyway, congratulations to Peter and his team of developers. Keep up the amazing work.
Thank you, Peter! Great and most advanced player!
It's amazing, thanks all Dev for this great foobar2000!
need to the scrobbler plugin for last.fm
The 0.9.4 plugin works. Just point the Last.fm scrobbler in the right direction.
how?
Tools > Get Plugin... > Add
Point the file selector to foobar2000.exe.
.... Keep up this perfect work.
Yes, Peter, thanks a lot. And not just him, but thanks to all the cooperating devs of fb2k AND the components.
But whenever I hit a milestone, I want to see the next one. However, in this case, I don't see it. Actually, if fb2k just happens to be so perfect (which I think it is), is there anything that comes to your mind an AUDIO player should do? I am out of the ideas. Is THIS the end of foobar2000?
Thanks!
I am curios to know if from now every major release will inrease the first digit of version number. The final is called 1.0 and not 1.0.0: Does that mean anything at all?
Does this mean that developers could write full featured components like CUI components??
Yes.
I would to say please to the component developers outside to repect the spirit of the DefaultUi: So please don't add preferences for custom colors but respect the global ones, if you create a selection viewer take the global setting, keep components simple and clean, ...
just to say another time:
THANKS!
1.0 works like a charm. But so did all the previous versions.
Thanks for putting all the time and effort into this awesome piece of software.
small step for peter and a great step for the humanity, congratulations!
not only that we got a great player, we are about to get a lot more new and updated plugins for it. this just can't get any better!
Congratulations to the 1.0 release and many thanks to all who made it happen!
thanks a lot...been using foobar since 2004
Congrats to Peter and the foobar2000 team. Using v1.0 right now and its flawless. Love it guys. You should all be proud of your accomplishments.
Thanks to all the people who made this player what it is... The best audio player by far!
Even with your old school version naming you arrived at 1.0 (others would have probably been at version 27.1! Congratulations!
Cheers...
Will I lose my settings and my foobar layout if I update?
Will I lose my settings and my foobar layout if I update?
No. But make a backup just in case.
My honest Respect and Thanks for this wonderful Program.
Thank You
Don't post here often, don't read here often, but just wanted to pop my head round the door and tip my hat to Peter. Thanks for such a great piece of software fella!
congrats for v1.0! TOP!
Congratulations and thanks!
Foobar makes listening to music more enjoyable .
Thanks for this great new version!
One question: Where can I find the changes since 1.0 beta 6?
Many thanks to all the foobar2000 devs and of course Peter.
By far the best audio software player ever
Getting the line of "thanks". 1.0, its been a long time coming, and I am happy that you feel the software is ready for a non decimal-only release. Kudos!
Where can I find the changes since 1.0 beta 6?
Friendly mr bb10 has kept quite accurate list of changes on fb2k.net (http://fb2k.net/).
In the ID code, v1.0 reads as "10" (without the dot) - so why not renaming foobar2000 to foobar2010 instead?
Congrats to all developers making this fantastic player possible!
A very big thanks to Peter and the whole foobar2000 community for a brilliant product made available for everyone. (Everyone meaning that everyone can afford it. as opposed to being able to use it - Apples & Linux e.t.c.)
Thanks so much
I'm not one who gives a lot of credence to version numbers and such, but a milestone's a milestone, and at the end of the day, foobar2000 is an impressive piece of software of which everyone involved with its development, especially Peter, should be damned proud.
congrats and thanks for all your hard work.
its been a fun ride to v1.0!
I would to say please to the component developers outside to repect the spirit of the DefaultUi: So please don't add preferences for custom colors but respect the global ones, if you create a selection viewer take the global setting, keep components simple and clean, ...
My components use the global colors by default and provides the ability to override a global color individually per instance. My experience is that it's very hard to get a pleasing and consistent look for all the different permutations of global colors. It's almost essential to provide the ability to override some in order to get a pleasing look.
To quote the movie Clerks: "The best of two worlds."

Thanks!
I see one change in v1.0 is "Separated ID3v2 padding on/off from ID3v2 compatibility mode switch."
I see indeed, that an extra switch appears in the advanced preferences. As I always use the compatibility mode switch to enable correct tagging for my Nokia N95, I'm wondering if padding was enabled or disabled before. I guess it was enabled if the compatibility switch was off, and it was disabled if the compatibility switch was on?
Will I lose my settings and my foobar layout if I update?
Well,
I lost mine. I'm using 0.9.6.9 portable install, and it looks like the portable settings have moved from foobar2000.cfg to a lot of single files (one for each plugin) in the new "configuration" folder.
Please, what was the need for such a big change, which is not even very clearly documented, and why not make it backwards compatible?
I'll be continuing happily with 0.9.6.9 until someone writes a plug-in that converts my old settings to the new cfg thingy.
For the rest - great player

As I always use the compatibility mode switch to enable correct tagging for my Nokia N95, I'm wondering if padding was enabled or disabled before. I guess it was enabled if the compatibility switch was off, and it was disabled if the compatibility switch was on?
Exactly, it did (and still does) multiple things to improve compatibility.
Well, I lost mine. I'm using 0.9.6.9 portable install, and it looks like the portable settings have moved from foobar2000.cfg to a lot of single files (one for each plugin) in the new "configuration" folder.
Not only portable settings. However the foobar2000.cfg contents are loaded fine when you first run the application, then saved to the "configuration" folder automatically the next time configuration is written.
Please, what was the need for such a big change, which is not even very clearly documented, and why not make it backwards compatible?
The reason for the change was that [a href='index.php?showtopic=76353']people wanted[/a] more powerful way to manage component configuration, like delete old entries or transfer only settings for some components without the need to bring the whole foobar2000.cfg over. Also it seems you didn't read the v1.0 Release Notes (http://www.foobar2000.org/releasenotes/10#new_configuration_file_format).
I'll be continuing happily with 0.9.6.9 until someone writes a plug-in that converts my old settings to the new cfg thingy.
Irrelevant, the new version does it itself transparently.

You're right. Worked fine once I deleted the "configuration" folder and re-copied the foobar2000.cfg before starting up. Looks like I made the mistake to start the freshly-installed fb2k too soon (that is, before copying all my components and settings and stuff to the new folder).

Now happily using 1.0 of the greates audio player ever
@mstram24: Oh, slsk is still existing? I left after I declared IDM to be dead (and switched to classical music then).
THANKS PETER. FB2k is THE music management tool for todays geeks. OK, now I think it's time to make the converter better (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=73452) After your well deserved holidays, of course
Soulseek? i dont think it ever ceased to exist... but it did go through a change in servers recently
btw Yirkha, did you propose to Peter to implement your Foo_Jesus in the core components of version 1.0? this autosaving is so necessary lol
thanks cant believe that fb2k got finaly a 1.0 release
but ill wait "a bit" til all my plugins i use are ready for the 1.0 version. but the accurate rip is realy fine
only things i wann have (i havent looked up if they are included in the 1.0, but theyre not in the changelog):
-possibility to create a multiple-file cue
-wirte a log file
but accurate rip is a realy nice new feautere
seeya and thanks, already spent over 19 weeks of my life on listening music with foobar
dennis
Definetly my favourite audio player.
A couple of question/whishes:
- Any plans to release a native 64-bit build ?
- What about other platforms ?
Thanks in advice !
Any plans to release a native 64-bit build ?
Will it improve anything?
Hello everybody.
Sorry to interrupt the joyful reunion, but I think I am experiencing a pretty bug.
I'm running a Windows 7 Ultimate, and I'm forced to "set as Administrator" if I want to see the program works.
If I try to open foobar without these precautions, it says "Unrecoverable playback error" when I press play.
If someoone have a more convenient solution, I would be glad to hear.
Greetings from France.
Maybe you want to play audio tracks you have no access rights to with that restricted user account.
Look into foobar's console (main menu View -> console) for more detailed information.

That's weird, because I had no problem with the previous versions...
Then best would be to open a new thread which contains a list of your components, the content of foobar's console (which is more detailed than the error popup) and what kind of files (file type) can't be played.

I'll do that, then. Thank you.
I find it real hard to explain what this software means to me. Let me tell like this: A life without music is inconceivable for me, from which it follows, a life without Foobar2000 is impossible for me. I have seen awesome applications, - MPlayer for instance - but this is different. I have tried almost all the music players out there including, media monkey, gmusic browser, mpd with a thousand clients, xmms2, Helium Music Manager - Well I have lost count. But this is where I come back to.
Thanks to Peter and all other people involved in developing and maintaining this software.
[Sorry for being emotional. I was helpless. I hope members don't get banned for being emotional in Hydrogen Audio Forums.]
Incredible milestone in development. Thank you to everyone involved. I recommend (and install) this player for all my friends and people I meet. I also think a Donation button is long overdue on the Support page. You guys deserve some $ donations.
[Sorry for being emotional. I was helpless. I hope members don't get banned for being emotional in Hydrogen Audio Forums.]
I think we all feel the same way regarding the question what foobar2000 means to us.
I would to say please to the component developers outside to repect the spirit of the DefaultUi: So please don't add preferences for custom colors but respect the global ones, if you create a selection viewer take the global setting, keep components simple and clean, ...

It's almost essential to provide the ability to override some in order to get a pleasing look.
To quote the movie Clerks: "The best of two worlds."
I must admit that my sentence is misleading: Of course it is reasonable and doesn't touch the spirit of Dui to add custom colors like foo_textdisplay and some visualizations do. As i wrote that i was thinking of a scenario like in Columns Ui where on one side this Ui offers opportunity of global color settings and on other side just very few panels use that.
Furthermore i used that as example just to express my hope that new UiElements will be simple and clean.
Congrats, about time..
... As i wrote that i was thinking of a scenario like in Columns Ui where on one side this Ui offers opportunity of global color settings and on other side just very few panels use that.

It's about equally simple to use and get notified of changes in the global colors in DUI and CUI code.
In Default UI, you implement a notify() function that your parent calls to tell you about changes.
In Columns UI, you implement a callback and register it with CUI.
As you say, it's mostly in the minds of the element/panel developers, who may not know nor care about how to leverage the existing color infrastructure.
Thank you so much for foobar2000, Peter!! It is unrivaled in its breadth of features, flexibility, stability, and speed -- on any platform.

Unfortunately, it does not work reliably on linux, which I understand is not fb2k's fault
If running under Wine, ensure that you have a build in the 1.1.x series, as it seems to be quite a bit more robust than the 1.0.x series.
My seekbar reportedly does not work under Wine 1.0.x.
forgot to say... thank you SO much!!!
Unfortunately, it does not work reliably on linux, which I understand is not fb2k's fault
What's your problem? Here, on Ubuntu Karmic with the latest PulseAudio and Alsa (from a Launchpad a PPA) and wine 1.1.36, it works almost perfectly. I have two issues: foobar crashes if I do 'Open containing folder' (known bug) and foobar cannot find audio cd's.
seekbar works very well in wine with DirectX hack in Linux
What's your problem? ...
I don't think this is the correct topic to discuss that, but I take your advice and update PA and ALSA. The issue is foobar gives unpredictable results: at one time it plays fine, at others it just plays at 1/10 speed, which is awful. Could not track down the reason, so updating PA, ALSA, WINE is my best bet (using Karmic too).
Congratulations & THANKS for such a long quest, Peter!

Another round of thanks to Peter! There are a couple points where I wish foobar2000 were different (notably playing nicely with nonstandard tags used by iTunes or WMP, just for the sake of compatibility of foobar-encoded or -edited files with other libraries or dominant programs) but I understand the reasons for doing things the way that Peter does, and foobar2000 is far and away better than anything else I've seen - I use it all the time. Thanks so much. If you were in Chapel Hill, I'd buy you some beers.
heh heh. It's Xmas all over again.
Thank you for this great piece of software.
Thank you for writing an install process that handles UAC properly.
Thank you for making upgrading such a breeze every time.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you so much, Peter.
I love this software so much!
I have used it since 2002.
Thank you, very, very, much!
FB2K 1.0 is the The Reg Downloads (http://downloads.theregister.co.uk/)'s "Featured file".
Congrats and thank you, Peter.
Great program though 1.0 looks the same as 0.9.6.9 as far as I've seen.
hm i updated foobar, updated all components and deleted 1 or 2 (which should cause troubles) and now i get a runtime error when pressing serverak times the "random song" button.. never had any crash before :S
congrats!
cant wait for 2.0 in 2020
First congrats and thanks.
Second. Ape files no longer play.
Is there a new plugin/dll file I need to download?
Second. Ape files no longer play.

APE files never played out of the box, you need the Monkey's Audio decoder plugin: http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_input_monkey (http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_input_monkey)
And thanks so much Peter! I've been using foobar2000 from the start (back in the days of :B) and it's become amazingly powerful and customizable without getting all bloated! I love foobar!!!
Thanks Peter!
I'm glad you stood up in the winamp days and started your own project. See what it has become now!
It changed my complete usage of programs on windows. I stopped skinning everything and started using lean and mean software only.
foobar isnt 'lean and mean' In vista/7 foobar2000 looks very nice. I'm sure its way better than iTunes or winamp's default skin.
Thanks so much for your hardwork! I had used Winamp since my first Pentium untill Foobar came along around June 2005..NEVER LOOKED BACK! THANKS AGAIN
Finally my favourite media player has reached 1.0 milestone!
Congratulations, Peter! =)

Thank you for foobar2000
Thank you for patience
Thank you for the music
First time that i used foobar2000 . Thx for the update
The converter component does not accept relative paths to the command-line encoder folders anymore - it was working before I switched to 1.0. Kind of negates the intention of the portable mode. Is it a bug or a feature?
I was using a very old ape plugin.
After instalation of the updated ape.dll everything is working 100% again.
Thank you for the help Mesquite on toast.
Foobar is the best.
With the addition of the album art options, foobar is now flawless.
Really, I mean it. Good work & thanks!
Just wanted to say congratulations on reaching v1.0, Peter and the rest of the devs. I switched from Winamp back in the day (my last Winamp version used was v2.91) to Foobar2000 and I have never looked back.
i'm back using DUI again and i see the playlist in v1 now supports a gradient rectangle for selected items when using aero. but are there plans for other UI elements to use the same scheme? i'd actually rather the playlist didn't have aero until it's supported across all elements then at least it would look consistent. it looks a bit untidy as it is.
(and yes i realise i'm being petty - i know it's not the most important thing in the world. )
I'm not sure if it's possible to use it in other components, but if you want to go back to the old style for the sake of consistency, you can do so by changing the "selection" color in the preferences.
On the topic of the selection rectangle, I have a little minor glitch. The selection rectangle for the currently selected track (when active) draws the blue gradient aero-style rectangle AND a black wireframe rectangle around that. Is this normal?
Yes. That's how you know which track/item is focused and not merely selected.

Oh, I see. That makes sense, but other Windows apps don't seem to do that.
Hitchhiker's right, if you look at how Explorer does it, the highlight rectangle is a darker color if it's focused, otherwise it's lighter. Never do you see a black outline around the current selection like in fb2k.
The fb2k's various focus rectangles don't appear to be "aero-styled", no (neither is the album list), but there certainly still is a focus rectangle in explorer.
e.g. Highlight a single item in explorer then ctrl+click that item.
Okay, yeah, I see what you mean now. Explorer's focus outline isn't quite as dark as fb2k's though (it's bluish like the rest of the rectangle, where in fb2k even in the Aero-styled playlist view it's either black or a really dark gray). Not sure why, though, I assume foobar is using built-in Windows functions to render the listview?
Oh, I see now. Still, in explorer it doesn't appear to draw a second rectangle around the selected item like it does in foobar. It's not a big deal or anything, just a bit ugly.
I'd also like to see row highlighting in the playlist when the mouse hovers over items like it does in explorer and WMP.
I'd also love to see the currently playing track highlighted a different colour.
At the moment all we get to see what track is playing is that insignificant little greater than arrow.
The fact that the last track you highlighted stays highlighted while another track is playing is to be quite off putting.
I know it is on Foobars To Do List. But It would seem to be relatively easy to program (seeing as how they already have the little arrow moving down).

Congratulations foobar2000.
I've been waiting 1.0 since several years ago, lol.
I'm missing the actions Properties (metadata tab) and (properties tab) or are they still there?
Congratulations for the 1.x release!
I've been using Foobar2000 since version 0.8.3 and oh boy what a long journey since then
Anyway this gets me very exited! Keep up the great job!
I think I become more fanatic with Foobar2000
Again,
A big thanks to Peter and everyone who contributed to this historical version of foobar which was already perfect in my opinion ! This player really changed my life .
Well actually I still got something very embarassing , I know I should have tested the beta, but unfortunatly I didn't have internet, I was on holiday... So here's the problem :
Portable installs now remember Media Library paths relatively to the install folder.
If I understand well, I get my external hard drive, on one computer the letter is H:\ the playlist works, on the other one it is F:\ it should works considering this quote but it doesn't, do I have to put the music in a special directory ? I tried recopying the music and remaking the playlists in foobar's directory, it did not work, can somebody help me or point me a component for this ? (I heard about something called foo_revive or so but I didn't find it...) What I do now is making special folders to be able to recreate playlists in a couple of minutes.
Thank you very much,
Thib
This was something I complained about recently, too. Media Library is relative, but .fpl playlists or not. foo_playlist_revive is your only option for now.

Thanks pal, a little operation but works like a charm
Thank you, Peter! Foobar2000 has always been my favorite program.
Also main menu > Playback > Cursor follows playback, anyone?
Brilliant !
Thanks a million for that - I have been wanting my highlight bar to follow the song being played for years and maybe it was there just above my nose !
Thanks
And yes thanks again Peter for Foobar (just so glad we finally got to ver 1.00)
Microsoft usually need to get to version 3.00 before they got a useable product !
Kind Regards

I'm missing the actions Properties (metadata tab) and (properties tab) or are they still there?
I've noticed this too. In previous versions of foobar, I had separate keyboard shortcuts for Properties (metadata tab)" and "Properties (properties tab)" which was pretty convenient for me. Those shortcuts were the only two that didn't transfer, and now the only option I can find is "Properites" which goes to the metadata tab by default.
It's not a big deal, but I'm curious as to whether this was nixed for a reason (vs. just working out that way).
.. I had separate keyboard shortcuts for Properties (metadata tab)" and "Properties (properties tab)" which was pretty convenient for me.
I noticed this during the beta stage and have requested to bring the action "Properties (properties tab)" back. The silence was deafening .
My guess is that the goal was to have only one Properties thing. But it could have been called any name really and in any of the context menu categories (or not in any at all) for the purpose of having a keyboard shortcut.
I really hate what happened to the context menus, and I think that's awful and backwards but otherwise it seems nice so far!
i think the same. what is the reason for this?
hi, i have a problem with the artreader of 1.0
If i my artist name is "*shels" and i use %artist% in the path it wont find anything. '*' is forbidden in a file path so those special characters should be removed from search path by the artreader.
Album art uses the same replacement rules as the file operations component, where * is replaced by x.
Your image should be loaded after renaming it to xshels.jpg.
Very good to know. Where can i find those replacement rules?
EDIT: found them, but using the funtion $ansi or $ascii doesnt work. i want to clear that string "D:/Martin/My Documents/My Music/LastFmData/*shels.lastfm" but it doesnt
Is there any way to recreate the old "View Now Playing" behavior? Currently, when that command is executed, a popup balloon appears over the foobar icon and displays the current playing track. The old behavior actually changed the focus of the selection to the track that was currently playing.
This was very useful when a lot of playlists were open and you wanted to quickly go to the one that was playing.
That behaviour depends on the notification area icon settings.
Oh, woops. I had no idea that had anything to do with it.

I think what you are looking for is ACTIVATE NOW PLAYING which is no longer in 1.0 it seems. I don't know why. I also used it a lot
That has nothing to do with the core, though. If you don't see "Activate Now Playing" anymore, you forgot to (re)install Columns UI.

My bad, thanks for reminding me this.
Tell me please, why at equalizer activation there is an effect of normalisation of loudness?
I use version 1.0. Thanks
There is not.

Yes there is. I was just going to post about this, glad someone else noticed it.
Something was done to the peaks processing or something
I have completely disabled ReplayGain, and still get random frequent loudness changes when the EQ is on (no other DSPs active).
This is the sole reason i am considering switching back to the 0.9 series.
I can attach my equalizer preset if anyone needs it.
EQ volume pump effect seems to be side effect of using float output on Vista/7 with DirectSound. Windows mixer seems to lower volume for samples that would clip. If you try WASAPI output you should get expected output.

What is the WASAPI output? The primary sound driver?

There's a bug with the notification area icon in foobar2000 1.0: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=78027 (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=78027)
Yes, that report has been read and the bug fixed.
No need to bump this poor thread with it.
