how can i sort playlist like %artist% - %title%? now it shows only title

Use the tweaked version, right-click and choose "Group/Sort by -> Title". You can also define specific playlists where this sorting should happen all the time when you go to the settings of ELPlaylist..

I really love Curacao! 
One questions though - I used the tweaked file of Uncle Andy cause I read something about embedded cover art support. I tried it but the embedded covers aren't displayed it all. Anyone know if that's possible? EPlaylist should support this feature 

CURACAO TWEAKED version features/tweaks (most features are optional, see bottom!):
ELPlaylist:
* Playlist Grouping: Use group/sort by to get different visual styles of your playlist.
* Implementation of History-Plugin: When you use foo_navigator, the "History" grouping is for you. It sorts and displays by "last played" and groups the entries based on the day played. Under "field definition" set __HISTORY__ to the name for the playlist your history is stored in. Do the same in the grouping-tab/Group by History dropdown/playlist filter
* Show Album art for Single- or Soundtrackfiles in the playlist as well as relevant comment-info. (see"setting options" for further info)
* If genre is "Tribute" or a various artist album has "Tribute" in the comment-tag the specific tribute-info is shown in the group header. Additionaly it's sorted by original artist. Means: an AC/DC tribute is listed below the AC/DC albums and not at the end under "Various" - change this behaviour with the __TRIBUTE__ field definition!
* Use of embedded artwork in group header if you want to (see "setting options" below)

* Sorting and grouping with swapprefix(The,Die)
* Re-arranging german umlauts, sorting by release date if available (for greatest hits or own compilation albums)
* trimming special characters from filenames for artist or cover-images
* Lyric-Icon also showing when LRC-File exists, not only tag
* search for artist image in the parent directory and not only in centralized folder
* cover-name can be folder.jpg, cover.jpg or %directory%.jpg
* minor tweaks like 2-digit discnumbers, auto-fill tracknumber, etc.

* POP-UPS: complete redesign with following features for single songs:
- optimized background-image
- automatic resize
- listing of some additional tags, if existing
- special treatment when "Single" in comment-tag is found (for those who tag Single B-Sides with the same album as the original album release and put the info where the sond is really released on in the comment field.. )
- icon for existing lyrics and cover
- showing artist picture if available
- showing embedded cover if available, else cover defined in the "field definition"/__ART_PATH__

* POP-UPS: complete redesign with following features for group headers:
- no popup if no picture found or "nocover.png" shown if you set __SHOW_NOCOVER__ in the field definition to 1
- intelligent display of artist or cover album, depending on whether it's a various artist-album or not
- use of embedded artwork

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Graphical Browser:
- Sorting and grouping based on prefix "The", "Die" and german umlauts (same as elPlaylist)
- totally redesigned album/artist-browser based on Thuans great config. Features are:
display info for missing artwork, show play-icon (in images-folder) on playing album/artist
- of course.. popups
- directly jump to the specific artist in the playlist when clicking on letter without waiting for hours  Needs the foo_utils plugin though!!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SETTING OPTIONS in elPlaylist settings under field definition:
__TRIBUTE__: set to 1 when you want to show the Tribute-info in group header and sort tribute-albums below original artist (needs Tribute-genre or "Tribute" in comment-tag)
__SHOW_NOCOVER: set to 1 when you want to see the nocover/noartist-image in the group-popups. If set to 0 no popup will be shown if no picture for artist or cover is found.
__COMMENTCUT__: cut comments in popups to this amount of characters
__SINGLE_ARTWORK__: show embedded artwork next to the ratings in the playlist, if song has "Single"/"Tribute"/"Soundtrack"/"Bonus" written in the comment field or %original album%-tag. This is useful when you make Rarities-compilation for artists and put the additional info of the original release in the comment-tag
__HISTORY__: name of the playlist that lists all played items (needs foo_navigator plugin). also set that name in the grouping tab!
__PHOTO_PATH_COLLECTED__: if you collect artist images centrally, set this to that specific folder
__PHOTO_PATH_PARENTDIR__: looking in parent directory for %artist%.jpg, if "collected path" is not found
__PHOTO_PATH_ALBUMARTIST/ARTISTGROUPHEADER__: special treatment of various artist album popups 
__ART_SIZE__: cover and artist picture size in single song popup
__ART_SIZE_GOUP__: cover and artist size in group header popup (normally larger as only the picture is shown and no text)
__EMBEDDED_ART__: set to 1 if you want to use embedded artwork. If you experience performance problems just set it to 0!

No more chronflow in this release ?

With tons of albums, it's very hard to use this, how do you make it ?

@ Onkel Andy
(Without the folder. jpg's, the embedded covers will only pop up in the playlist, but not on the graphical browser and the big left album side.)

Hmmm yeah, but i was really fond of Chronflow

I was asking also

is there always a search field ?
is it possible that when I re-open foobar that its positionned on the last played album ?
is it possible to put a chronflow instead of the "album / artist graphical browser at the bottom", i got tons of albums, and browsing the covers was really usefull, now it takes me 500 clicks to see my entire collection

function coverPosition(coverId){
	var x, y, z;
	x = coverId * 1.1;
	y = 0;
	z = -1.3 - Math.abs(coverId)/4;
	return new Array(x, y, z);
}

function coverRotation(coverId){
	var angle;
	// this makes the covers disappera smoothly
	if (Math.abs(coverId) >= 8){
		var f = Math.abs(coverId) - 2 // this is in [0-1]
		// at this angle the covers are not visible
		var hideAngle = rad2deg(Math.atan(coverPosition(3)[2] / coverPosition(3)[0]));
		angle = hideAngle * f;
		if (coverId > 0)
			 angle *= -1;
	} else {
		angle = 0;
	}
	return new Array(angle,0,1,0);
}
function rad2deg(angle){
	return angle/Math.PI * 180;
}


function coverSizeLimits(coverId){ return new Array(1, 1) }
function coverAlign(coverId){ return new Array(0, 0) }

function drawCovers(){ return new Array(-9, 9) }
function aspectBehaviour(){ return new Array(0, 1) }


function eyePos(){ return new Array(0, 0, 0) }
function lookAt(){ return new Array(0, 0, -1.5) }
function upVector(){ return new Array(0, 1, 0) }

function showMirrorPlane(){ return false }

Br3tt, a small observation I made is that when playing a flac file with a 4 digit bitrate it Curacao does not show it correctly in the playlist. It only displays 3 digits, so a bitrate of 1011 kbps will be displayed as .011 in the playlist.

$puts(bitrate_info_width,54)

$puts(bitrate_info_width,60)

1) How could i understand that path: Z:\_artists_\%artist%.jpg ?? Have no clue how to get that __PHOTO_PATH__ working.. My foo displays album art on the left, and also the same album art as a background of my playlist.. Is that the way it should be done?

3) I also got album arts in different formats (jpg, gif, png.. all of them named cover.*), so can i anyhow make foo search for more album art formats than only jpg? I found that line: "$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)cover.jpg" but dunno if there is any way to get it modified that way..

Thanks for good foobar2k theme.
I like this skin very much, but have problem.
When minimize or retore foobar2k window with this config, Windows is often freezing.
There is no error reporting, no foobar failure log, just system freezing without mouse cursor.
Reset or turn-off are only solution that I can.
I tested minimize and restore with auto clicking program.
It crashed all the time less than 1000 times minimize-restore.

Someone have same problem like me?

E4500, 4G ram
Radeon 3850 (8.12)
