Thanks Robertina. I thought that would just read the tags and autosort my collection by albums. (which I don't want). Will try it out!

If so, right-click the "All music"-node in the Album List Panel and choose --> View = "by directory structure".

I'm using 1.0.3 and would like to change the toobar button images to the tango images. I tried 16, 22, and 32 pixel sizes and none worked. This is what I did:

1) right-click the toobar and select Options
2) select the button eg: [Main menu item]Playback/Stop
3) Under the Normal image and Hot image tabs select Image: Custom
4) click Browse and select the appropriate .png file
5) Click OK

no image is displayed

6) restart foobar2000

no image is displayed

Thanks for any help.

I assume your system is missing the libgpng and zlib libraries which you need in order to get buttons other than the default ones. Perhaps the CUI FAQ is worth reading, especially starting here.

Hello guys,

i'm new to foobar and i wanna do some modifications to adjust this great tool to my needs.

there's one essential question i'd like to ask you experts :-):
is it possible to bind specific playlists to specific playlist-panels? i mean: having a playlist panel for the media library and one as my main playlist. now when clicking on the tab of the main playlist, foobar should switch to the one and only playlist i have for this purpose and show it in the respective panel. the other way round it should switch to the filtering-playlist when i open the media library view.

do you guys know what i mean? i hope you can help me.

thanks a lot....

Does anybody have an idea? an hardcoded solution would also satisfy me.

sokeking,

You can use ElPlaylist or EsPlaylist @ http://foo2k.chottu.net/

Both component can be binded to a specific playlist but EsPlaylist can also be binded to your whole Library. ElPlaylist is CUI-only but EsPlaylist can be used with either DUI or CUI

Great - thank you for responding. Question: with NGPlaylist this wouldn't be possible? Cause i got the feeling that neither EsPlaylist nor ElPlaylist doesn't have some functionalities the NG-Playlist has (like mirroring the album covers) or am i wrong?!

Now, you can't with NGPlaylist, because it always binds to the active playlist

Thanks for the response, and thanks for the download, it would have taken me awhile longer to figure it out without it.

There seems to be something strange going on here. The file name libpng13.dll appears to be invalid according to the versioning scheme of libpng, as there is no 1.3 official release. I understand that this is actually a 1.2 compile, so I'm not sure why it is called libpng13.dll.

What I originally did, after reading your post is I downloaded and compiled the latest stable version of libpng which is 1.4.4. It did not work. So I tried changing the name of the dll from libpng14.dll to libpng13.dll and even libpng.dll and it still didn't work. I tested the compiles with pngtest.exe (part of the source code download) and they passed the test.

It would nice if CUI was able to work with the latest version. I realize libpng's versioning system is a bit strange, and possibly outdated today, but I remember about 10 years ago, the decision was made to add the version to the file name, I think, due to complications with linux distros, I can't remember the details. In any case libpng13.dll definitely seems anomalous.

I know for sure that musicmusic's current libgpng libraries I linked to cover the latest closed security hole because I have been in touch with him for that matter and that was the most important thing for me.

I think that possible differences in naming and content to the official version(s) may reflect necessary adaptations for a flawless work with Columns UI but as a matter of course this is pure speculation; the only one who would be able to give you a reliable answer is musicmusic himself.

Thanks a lot again.... Well, i gues thats something i'd appreciate for future versions of ColumnsUI / NG-Playlist. Honestly i don't have the nerves to reconfigure ElPlaylist for looking and feeling like the original NGPlaylist. What i'm especially missing is the simplicity of the configuration. It's kind of overkill with this glowing and drawing stuff. I don't understand why someone whos developing the NG-Plalist couldn't see the obvious need for differentiation among multiple playlist panels (fields as well as following a specific playlist).

Anyway. Thank for answering. If anyone else has the same problem or another solution than Es/ElPlaylist - please - share with me :-)

hi

i have a problem
last version of foobar foobar2000 v1.1.1 and last version of Columns UI 0.3.8.6

it works great outside one issue

i run foobar2000 under xp sp2 32bit and under winodws 7

under xp sp2 i can't have the" stars"

i mean rating
but i can have the mood ,or the red heart of last.fm

for example the rating is
Code: [Select]
$if(%_isplaying%,
$rgb(100,100,100,100,100,100)
$repeat('*', $meta(rating))
,
$rgb(80,80,80,80,80,80)
$repeat('*', $meta(rating))
)
but i get a weird symbol something like that ║ (but closed in short a right-angled it makes me mad)


but i can get  ♪  or  ♥

what 's wrong ?

thanks a lot

Two things I'd like to be able to do with the Columns UI that I can't seem to get to work right:

1) Sort album contents properly by disc and track number. I can get it to group all the tracks from a certain album together, but they won't be in actual album order.

2) Save playlist order. If I have a playlist in a certain order, and I resort it (by title, for instance) to find a track in the playlist, I'd like to be able to revert it back to the original order even if that order doesn't fit any of the standard criteria.

Any idea how I might accomplish either or both of these things?

Hello,

Does anyone know how to activate a Tab in a Tab Stack with a keyboard shortcut ?

(this was possible with the fomer foo_uie_tabs component)

thanks

Hi.
Is it possible to make a button to show\hide groups in NG playlist ???
If not, can this option be available in the next version of Foo? (with some options, like: grouping by artist, grouping by genre, by album, no grouping etc.)
Thanks

Take a look at setting up the "sort incoming files by" option under the Filters tab. As default it is set as %path_sort% so if the filenames dont sort correctly then this will be why.

Alright, I got it to sort albums properly, but I still don't know how to get it to remember playlist order.

Hi all,

The online troubleshooter in Foobar 2000 v. 1.1.1. says:

foobar2000 troubleshooter
The following components found on your system are known to be problematic and should be either uninstalled or updated to their latest versions:

foo_discogs.dll : Discogs Tagger 1.25
Reason: Repeated crash reports.
Download the latest version...

Clicking download latest version gets me Discogs Tagger 1.25, the version that I need to get rid of.
Where can I find the previous version 1.24 to install, until version 1.26 is available?
Or is there another way to solve this problem?

Hi. I'm new to Foobar2000. I recently switched from Winamp because I really like the speed and library searching capabilities of Foobar.

It took me a few days to set up the GUI to my liking but all that tweaking, googling and modding taught me that Foobar can do pretty much anything.
That's why I'd like to ask if these 2 small features are possible with Foobar, with or without adding components, because I couldn't find them.

1. Single click drag & drop of a track into a playlist.
Currently to add a track to my 'main playlist' I have to click once to select it before I can click and drag it into the playlist. Like Windows behaves, I'd like to be able to drag it right away. I don't mind losing the click & drag selection grouping functionality that this action currently does.

2. Double click a track to add it to a pre-set playlist.
An alternative to #1 to speed up my workflow. As a former Winamp user I prefer to work with a single play-list and just add my music to that instead of Fb2k's invisible playing queue.

I hope you can help. Since switching to Foobar I'm getting a lot more fun out of my music collection and I'd love to work out all the annoyances so I can stick with this software for many years to come.

Thanks.

ps. This is my GUI. I'm going for a 'search on the right, play on the left' layout. If you have any tips on how to make it better I'd love to hear them.

Quick question. I am in Columns Ui / Layout and would like to configure the elements however configure is greyed out. How do I enable it?

My goals are to get a splitter with artist info and an album art display that resizes to fit the album art.

Sorry total newb to foobar, ha.

Some panels don't have this configure button, you have to right clic directly on the pannel

Is it possible to do grouping in NG play-list without showing group names? What i want is a solid line between albums. I tend to have many mixed play-lists so having groups for two-three songs is not an option.

If it isn't possible, was it requested?
If it was, why hasn't it been implemented?
And if it wasn't, would anyone else besides me want the feature?

Not what you requested in particular, but more generally, having separate settings for what you group by and what you display in the group header has been requested numerous times.

What is implemented is up to the developer.

Noob question here that may or may not even be specific to ColumnsUI. I'm using it, though, so I figured I'd ask here.

My OCD is giving me fits over an inconsistency in alphabetical ordering of my playlist groups in CUI. It appears that for two strings that are equal up until the termination of the shorter string, the longer one is actually listed first. For example, I'll load up an artist and see this in the NG Playlist:

1. Albumname (Bonus Disc)
2. Albumname

This is really quite grating, given that I have several instances in my collection of bonus discs and such, and the bonus material gets listed before the main disc.

Is there any way around this? I have a feeling it might be embarrassingly obvious, but I spent a good half hour before starting this thread racking my brain to no avail.
