Now Playing Window

Right... I;m struggling with something. That seems simple enough... but i just don’t think Foobar has this kind of component/panel.

In the screen shot here you can see my foobar layout (using default UI):

Where you can see the big red X i want a panel that shows a NOW PLAYING window. The Now playing windows contains the album and track listing of the current album that’s playing. I want this so that I can search through my library and click on other albums etc... but STILL be able to see what’s playing!

At the minute... when i set an album to play, and then go searching through the rest of my library, i loose all focus on what album I’ve got playing.

Essentially I want to split the playlists “Library Selection” and “Library Selection (Now Playing)” into two separate areas. I cannot for the life of me seem to do this!

Please can anyone help me with this issue?

Thanks

It has been discussed, as revealed by a search. Here are a couple of threads; have a look at them and perhaps others if they exist, and let us know if they help.

Is there a Now Playing panel for foobar?

And a prooving that you already have "now playing" playlists - they are directly under facets in your layout:

Here two screenshots for comparison to show what the role or function of playlist view in foobar2000 is:
